Detoxing from Disney

My husband and I both recognized Disneyland was stimulation overload for our little ones, but I didn't realize quite how overloaded they were. No, it wasn't hearing "It's a Small World" a million times over. Lucky for us, It's a Small World played Christmas songs as well as its theme music. My over-threes just needed a little extra sleep after we got home. The younger-than-threes were a whole different story.

My baby only pooped two times of the four days we were there. This is a mother's biggest worry sometimes, especially if she's ever had a child that has had a problem. I have, and I was concerned. Most doctors say it's normal for a breast-fed baby to poop once every ten days. Well, maybe that's true if mommy is an omnivore, but for me, that just isn't the case. She also didn't ever get a big block of nap time, like sleeping her usual three to four hour nap. When we got home, she slept beautifully and boy have I had my share of dirty diapers. Hooray!!!!

My two-year-old's detox was interesting. She's not normally a napper, but got plenty of rest in the stroller. Her issue was actually food.  I didn't restrict her eating. I let her decide, within bounds, what good food she wanted. Well, in four days, despite my soy milk, Trio, and Cliff bars, she got animal-product overload and threw up and had a fever for a couple days after we got home. Thank goodness it wasn't while we were there! She's now back to normal and it was refreshing to have a little less craziness for those couple days. Now, out of the pjs and back to life!
