3Sept2008: Day 101: Let's Not Have That Happen Again!

Some days I think, well, there really won't be much to say in the blog and other days you just don't know where to start.

This morning I thought the only thing I'd have to write about was how cute Makenna was when she was knocking on the bathroom door saying, "Dad, me kemma". Meaning Dad, it's me Makenna. She wanted to see him before he went to work and knew he was in the bathroom getting ready.

But then later in the day....she gave me more to write about. I put her down for a nap at 3:30pm and she was not having it. I had to go up a few times to settle her, and the third time I went up, she had taken her clothes out of her drawer and put some in the garbage in her room but that was not the big thing. She had gone the bathroom, to put it nicely, and had put her hands down her diaper. So I found remnants from her diaper on her shirt, on her pants and on her sheet. It wasn't much really but it was disgusting nonetheless. She has had this habit lately of putting her hands down the back of her diaper, like if it's a pocket for her hands. I've asked her to remove her hands on different occasions, mostly when we're in public. So after changing her, clothes and all, and removing her sheet I put her back down again. She finally fell asleep around 5pm I believe. She wasn't too happy when I had Chris get her up around 6:30pm.

In fact, I was cooking dinner and I all of a sudden heard her crying. So I went in to the living room to see what the matter was. Chris was watching "Prison Break" on the laptop, and it was the part where Michael was reuniting with Sarah, (for those who know the show,) and she thought it was sad. She heard the music and just started bawling. Chris obviously turned the show off fairly quickly but that didn't stop her from crying for almost a half-hour! She was just still very tired, I believe or hungry. It wasn't until we sat down to eat that she finally stopped. Goes to show you, you definitely have to be careful what you're watching around children.
