"TRICKERY"
Published by Demo Kitchen under on Tuesday, August 25, 2009
What do you do when you realize your 10 month old truly thinks of ways to outsmart you?
My sweet baby girl has always been a really good napper. She acts sleepy, clingy, and puts her face on anything soft: pant legs, my face, my hair, any blanket, burp rag or hand towel she can get her hands on, shoes... you get the picture. Anyway, two times now today she has shown me her tell-tale signs that she just wants to be laid down. Both times, she grabs her blanket, never fusses, and acts like she's about to take a nap. Earlier, I went in to find her covered in wipes, with wet pants because she had sat on a pile of them. How did she get wipes in her crib you might ask? Well, my awesome tri-purpose hand-me-down crib- (and this is in no way sarcastic-- I LOVE THIS CRIB) has a changing table attached to one end where I have always kept her diapers, wipes, lotion, etc. Well, now that "little miss thang" can stand and thinks she's too big for her britches, she reaches up over the side of the crib for anything she can touch. This morning's treasure: wipes. I am posting about this because I laid her down 30 minutes ago or so and she has been so quiet, I was just sure she's asleep, but I currently hear movement and quiet "talking" sounds that usually mean "I am pretty darn content at the moment". I know I should go up there, but I'm afraid of what I will find, because, yes, I left the wipes in the same place they were this morning. I guess you live, you learn.....to move the wipes.

rable weather to get our house painted. We have been planning to do it all summer but have been so busy on the weekends that we haven't been able to get to this project as soon as we wanted. Well, we finally got it done. I'm not sure these pictures give it justice, so you may have to come visit us to get the full effect. I think it looks much better...now we just need to paint our grass:)
