Bad baby

Nov. 10I’m not bad… I just like to push my boundaries. I like to see how far I can take it – push it – until it’s not funny anymore. Rolling and crawling backwards into corners until I can’t go anymore and have to cry to get someone to move me isn’t so bad. Being hungry at 2am is more bad. But the most bad is how I take my bath.

See, Mommy got tired of wrestling me in the deep water when I take a bath at the same time as my sister. I can’t sit by myself with the water up to my chin and I do not like being held down. Mommy would practically be in the bath with me and then I’m out just that fast. No play time.

So the new bath I take is all by myself with just a couple inches of water. I get all the toys and I can sit unrestrained alone (with close supervision). Like any baby, I don’t want what you want me to do, so instead of sitting playing nice, I want to lay and kick. Yeah, it’s funny the first few times I get a splash out of the tub. Mommy laughs and smiles when I get her a little wet. I’m hauled out of the tub when I get her good and drenched. I have a 100% clothing change record. I’m not going to quit any time soon.

Nov. 14I love pajamas. I never want to change out of them. When I get home from daycare, I go up and change into my pajamas. If you ask why, I’ll tell you it’s because I wanted to change out of my work clothes. This past week I’ve had dinner in my pajamas more than I did with regular clothes on. I wore my princess nightgown all morning and through lunch today, finally picking out a shirt and leggings in time to take a nap. After a short play time and dinner tonight, it was off to the bath and into… you guessed it… pajamas.

Maybe I’ve been playing too hard and I just need some relaxing pajamas to settle down in the evening. Yesterday I was at a Pump it Up birthday party with my friends. It was two hours of non-stop jumping and climbing and running topped off with cupcakes and ice cream. I was exhausted. Perfect example of a pajama night. I was comfortable and relaxed to watch a princess movie… my idea of a great night.
