My Sugar Baby

I just realized that my last few posts have totally been about Dominik. Even before our dreadful event. So today I am going to post about a few funny and not-so-funny things Cheltzi has done.
When we were in Utah I was making a bottle for Dominik and Cheltzi was going potty. I couldn't stop to go help her wipe so she yelled for Nana's help. Here is their conversation:
Cheltzi: NAAANAA!
Nana: I'm coming.
Nana is now in the bathroom.
Cheltzi: Nana, I'm done. And in a funny deep voice she adds, Now, wipe my butt.
Nana: Did you pee or poop?
Cheltzi: Pee and Poop and in that same funny voice "Hi Pee! It's me Poop"
Oh she is funny. We just had another little conversation about poop a few minutes before I started this post.
Cheltzi: Mom, Will you come wipe my butt?
I was in the other room and I replied
Me: Did you pee or poop
Cheltzi: Poop
Me: Did you really poop?
For some reason she has started lying about if she has peed or pooped.
Cheltzi: Yes I really pooped.
As I was walking in the bathroom
Me: Is it stinky?
Cheltzi: Yes. Very stinky. You might not want to smell it.
She cracks me up. Okay I'm done with the pooping stories now.

Her not-so-funny thing she has started in the last few weeks is talking back and screaming if she doesn't get her way. I don't know if it is the age or what because up until now she has always been so good about listening and doing what we ask. And if we told her now or it was time to leave somewhere she has always been so good about it, but not lately. It always ends up a screaming fight.

And her new little hobby is painting. Just before we moved to Rifle I bought some little ceramic figures, paint, and paint brushes. She painted once since we moved and yesterday I got them out so she could paint again. She was getting cranky and I was trying to get some cleaning done. I put out a cardboard box that she could sit and paint on. It was a little chilly on the cement. I even put some cardboard out and the jumperoo so Dominik could get some fresh air. It was nice. Anyways here are her painting projects.


And part of the reason we went to Utah was to go to Ikea (Colorado does not have an Ikea yet, but I just found out this very day that Denver is getting one. I am so excited and so is Cheltzi. I told her about it and she freaked out.) and get Cheltzi's bed. She had already picked it out and we knew which mattress we wanted until we got there. The bed was still a go, but we couldn't decide on the mattress because the bed she picked is extendable. There was a mattress that goes with the extendable beds that came in three pieces so you would have a mattress to fit all sizes of the bed. Anyways Kevin, Nana, and I couldn't decide so I said, "Okay let's ask Cheltzi." I simply asked, "Do you want a little girl bed or a big girl bed?" I showed her the difference in the sizes. They had two beds just like the one she chose. One that was in the small size and the other the twin size. (I sure hope that wasn't too confusing.) Anyways she did choose the big girl size. So my tiny little girl is in a BIG girl bed. It is nice because I can go in and lay by her and not be scrunched up and uncomfortable. It isn't fair though she has a nicer matteress than me. (not hard considering I am still sleeping on an air mattress)


Here is a picture of her on her new bed. She just got out of the bath and she was freezing so she was curled up in her bunny towel (also from Ikea). I should get paid for the advertising I'm doing here.When I find all of her bedroom stuff and get it all done I will post a better picture. She has a box next to her bed because that's what her DVD player is on right now.
