Not your typical diaper issues...

TerraDactyl has the most unique relationship with diapers.  She really enjoys playing with them.  She likes putting them on her dolls.  She likes trying to figure out how the tabs work.  She's tried to wear multiple diapers at the same time.  She even likes wearing them as hats.  

Of course, wearing diapers as hats may have resulted based on her love of hats and not diapers...  I can't be positive.  Fortunately, she has the good sense to only play with the clean diapers.  I couldn't get a good picture of the pink swim diaper, but I just love the Dutch bonnet look.  

But TerraDactyl doesn't only put diapers on...  She also takes them of.  Recently, at the end of a nap, DH went to get her up and TerraDactyl was butt-naked.  Literally.  She'd removed her sleep sack.  She'd removed her pants.  She'd removed her diaper.  And then, she'd peed.  Of course!  I've never been so happy that TerraDactyl has a plastic mattress.  And really, it was just the excuse I need to wash her stuffed animals.  I mean I regularly change her sheets, but how often should one clean stuffed animals?  

And just this morning...  TerraDactyl ran off into her bedroom.  I figured she was going to grab a toy and then come back out.  But it took a bit longer and I heard some weird noises.  So I headed in to see what she was doing.  TerraDactyl came waddling out of her room holding her pants in front of her while trying to hold a diaper onto herself.  She had removed her pants and the old diaper (which was wet), thrown the dirty diaper into the trash can, and then tried to put a new diaper on herself!  I feel like maybe I should be potty training this child.

Summer Camp

Image
  Tomorrow TerraDactyl will be starting her first day of summer camp.  It's twice a week for 3 hours each day.  The class is super small (5 kids) and they're all 3 or 4 years old.  It's only for the month of July.  Hopefully, she'll like it.  It's a nut-free building, so I was struggling to find filling snacks for TerraDactyl to bring with her.  I ended up finding these snack cups of olives and pouches of pickles.  I was so excited about my find.  And you know what DH had to say?  "Olives and pickles for snacks?  What are you trying to get TerraDactyl bullied?"  :P  (I'm still packing the olives for her). TerraDactyl really does like olives though.  She seems to kind of like the pickles, but the olives pretty much always get cleaned off her plate.  I'd also like to point out that neither DH nor I taught her to shove the olives onto her fingers.  She just started doing that one day.  Maybe it's innate.....

A Parade!

Image
Check out all the candy TerraDactyl collected from the 4th of July Parade!  DH said she had a blast running out and picking up the candy.  For most of the parade they were spaced pretty far away from other kids so she actually had a chance to get the candy.  After a while though, another family with older kids camped out on their other side and they pretty much cleaned up the street before TerraDactyl could get to it.  She's not super aggressive with these things (yet - I'm sure she'll inherit a decent dose of competitiveness).  Also, check out her awesome snow boots that she insisted on wearing.  She's such a nut. Parade snacks!  DH and I weren't sure what kind of parking there would be, so they drove to a train stop and rode the train downtown.  TerraDactyl was super excited about the train ride.  DH wanted to walk back to the car after the parade, but TerraDactyl insisted on riding the train back.   A bit surprisingly, TerraDacty...

My Name is Still Mom

TerraDactyl had her first day of school.  It went super smoothly.  She had zero problems with us dropping her off with a bunch of strangers.  Once the teacher said she could play with the toys in the room, she had no more interest in her parents.  And DH and I suddenly had 3 child-free hours!   Here's one of the last photos of me pregnant.  Do you think these vertical lines are slimming?  I know I look huge.  There's a good reason for that... This little grumpy troll (aka SaraTops) was born on July 14 at 2:42pm, weighing 9 lbs, 10 oz!  She was a big one!  More than a pound heavier than TerraDactyl was, but an inch shorter (20.5" vs 21.5")!   SaraTops is actually much more attractive than that last picture indicates.  We refered to her as Norm throughout the pregnancy because Norm MacDonald is DH's favorite comedian and DH suggested we name her after him.  I did not agree to that plan, but I did allow Norm as a ni...
