Most of you know that Jaycie is a very picky eater. Her daily diet consists of waffles, cheese sticks, mac & cheese, or pasta with butter and salt, and occasionally Ramen noodles, more mac& cheese, tacos, cheese sticks, and pasta. That is it. Is it any wonder she always has a belly ache. Every day she complains that her belly hurts. I thought it was because I was working at the school and she would just want to see me for a minute. Well, I think it may be some of that reason but I think the biggest reason is because her insides are one big freaking noodle. Last night clinched that theory. It was nine-ish and I was heading off to bed (Jeff is gone so I can go to bed whenever I want) when all of a sudden I heard this most heartbreaking cry coming from Jaycie's room, well her belly was hurting enough to wake her from a deep sleep. I hate belly aches, I don't ever know what to do, so I called my mom. She seemed to think she was constipated. Is it any wonder with what she eats? She also suggested a suppository? Great! I don't have those, so I called my neighbors. So embarassing. Luckily they had some and we tried that. What a fun time that was! NOT! Jaycie is looking at me like I was insane, and that is not going to happen she tells me. Well I won and it did happen. Well after a minute she decided she needed to go potty. She is sitting there and she starts to scream because it hurts so I the dedicated mom that I am go sit on the tub and hold her while she is trying to do her duty, and she looks at me with these big teary eyes and say" I wish I had a normal life." Huh! I guess having your mom hold you while you poo is not normal. Who knew. I will say though I am now a big believer in the suppository. And hopefully this will teach her some new eating habits. We shall see.

Has she ever heard of a fruit? Oh, and I think you have proved yourself a worthy and noble mother as you held her while she did her business. Way to go!
Jaycie will always remember you holding her during her trama... good mom! I second the fruit comment - will she eat grapes? They're yummy!
