Being sick doesn't mean we can't have a little fun

My poor baby girl is sick, yet again, with another ear infection- plus pink eye, and is also developing very evident hemorrhoid issues. I'm kind of at the end of my rope here with all of the health issues. Beginning with the ear infections (we didn't see her regular physician), we are being suggested to begin discussing a possibility of tubes. Yelling fit begins: NO! NO! NO! NO! I do NOT want to ever do that! She is TOO LITTLE to have surgery! SOMETHING has to be causing this! Let us figure out the cause, not just deal with the symptoms!!!
Moving on to the pink eye: Yuck, but healing SUPER quick! Thank you, thank you God! Can't even hardly tell she has it and she just started her meds last night!
As for the digestive issues (Be aware TMI): She has always had chronic constipation. Always. Ever since birth. She didn't even pass the Meconium stool in a timely fashion. Thus, she has periodically had some blood tinged stool. Well, a couple of nights ago, it was heavily bloodied with mucus. Just a bad deal. So the doctor checked her out and simply said "Well, there are no external ones. She looks good for now." Good grief! Do these people not have any kind of suggestion for figuring out these issues. It seems like no matter how much mineral oil we give her, she always goes through spurts of major constipation. Does a toddler having hemorrhoids only bother me?
Any way... since we are stuck inside for another day. I thought we would do some holiday cheer painting. Out came the cookie cutters (don't worry, smooth sided) and some kid friendly paints. Though I think next time I will make some pudding paint and see if it doesn't come up easier! She had a blast and did not want to stop painting. Love this kid :-)


(Warning: Potty Time) She has also been toting around her babies everywhere. We are now beginning potty training days and the babies all have to go to the potty too. It's so cute. "baby, potty". I just love it. She also came up to me yesterday, pointed to her diaper, and said "Mama, I poo poo". And she DID! She is doing so well with the beginning parts of this. Just want to get her bowels under control so that can go smoothly for the training too.
