Last night we decided to take a trip into Charlottetown
where the girls could see the Bubble Guppies Live musical show.
We really couldn't afford it,
but my conscience got the better of me
and I convinced Mark that we had to go.
My reasons stemmed from a couple of things.
First of all, when Piper was the biggest Dora fan ever
(and still is a little bit),
we took her to the live Dora show TWICE.
Elliotte has always been a Guppies fan,
so I felt wrong not giving her the same experience.
My second reason is that I've been feeling guilty
about my parenting lately.
Piper has been sick with a urine problem again this year
and it has been ongoing since January.
That means less sleep,
less patience,
less energy
less happiness in our family.
Elliotte is definitely getting the raw end of the deal here
and I feel like I owe it to her to do something special.
I'm glad we did.
She had an amazing time.
She was in absolute awe when the show started,
but she did get a little shy and starstruck.
Nana had asked her to wave to Nonny for her.
She did.
And he waved back.
WOAH!
(He was waving to the audience,
but she doesn't know that!)
Her little world was rocked.
It was worth every penny and more.
Miss Piper had a fun time too.
She's still struggling,
but for what she's going through,
she's pretty amazing.
To give a short example,
Piper peed at 3:45 while we were at the Vet with Blue.
Then peed again at 4:00 when we dropped Blue off
and hit the road for Charlottetown.
By the time we reached Charlottetown
(roughly a 45-50 minute drive)
she was crying again that she needed to pee.
We arrived at the venue and she peed (5:30 ish).
Then 20 minutes into the show,
she whispered to me that she needed to pee again.
Thankfully intermission started and I took her to the bathroom.
Thirty minutes later,
the show was over and she peed again.
By the time we got home,
she was asking to pee again...
which she did twice before going to bed.
Then after I tucked her in and read two stories,
she said she needed to pee again.
I told her to go ahead.
She crawled halfway out of bed
and whined that she was too tired,
but needed to pee.
She fell asleep like that.
Just like that.
Halfway out of bed and halfway in.
Piper whole little life is consumed with needing to go bathroom.
It's been a long three months,
but we hope to get some answers next month
when we head to the IWK in Halifax to see a pediatric urologist.
Wish us luck that they find something minor
that can easily be treated!
