He who laughs last...

Here's how I found Brin after her nap. Yep, the pillow was hit too!

I spared you the more graphic pics! Trust me!

Some of you may have heard about Brin's Daddy's horrible experience a couple of weeks ago. After having a great guys weekend in TX, he was wiped out. When Brin woke up at 3 am, of course he was completely out of commission! Later that morning, he decided that Brin was playing nicely in her crib, so he slept a little longer. Twenty minutes later when he went to get her out of bed, he found that she discovered how to take off her pajamas. "That's cute," he thought as he approached the crib. Then he thought, "wait a minute, she's totally naked. And...covered in her own poop!" Yep. She knows how to take off her pajamas and diaper as well. Brin then decided to cover everything in her reach with poop. From her sheets, to her stuffed animals, her comforter, blankets, pacifiers and all over herself. Brin's daddy was grossed out and spent the good part of an hour cleaning up the mess, boiling pacifiers, doing laundry and giving Brin a bath. When he told me, I laughed my butt off! I thought it was sweet revenge for his inablility to help me with Brin at the wee hours of the morning. Ever since this incident, Brin has been wearing onesies underneath everything to make sure she doesn't get her diaper off. Once she figures out the snaps, we are seriously considering duct tape. I'm NOT kidding!

Fast forward to this week. Thursday our babysitter's kid was sick so I had to pick up Brin early. I picked her up and proceeded to put her down for her nap. This was the first day in a long time that she didn't have a onesie on underneath her shirt--they were all getting washed. (All the ones that actually fit her, that is.) For a good hour and a half, I heard Brinlie talking to herself and "napping." Then she was making a fuss and getting mad I wasn't coming to get her. I just had a feeling that it was not a good situation so I went armed with the camera. Here's what I found: Brin with her pants and diaper off, and of course poop covering everything! She was upset she stepped in it and it was on her foot. Otherwise, who knows how long she would've played in her crib covered in feces?! UGH! Needless to say, I also got to spend the good part of an hour cleaning up a huge mess. Gotta love those toddlers! I think this was my punishment for laughing a little too hard at Brin's daddy's expense. Another important lesson learned!

New things

Last Sunday I saw an add for this tricycle at TRUs. I decided to take Daddy and Brin there to try it out. Of course Daddy is quite the researcher and had to make sure it met his seal of approval. Brin feel in love instantly! Daddy was pushing her all over the store, seeing how fast she could go. It's a 3-in-1 trike that grows with her, I guess that's how Daddy decided we could rationalize the purchase. Next thing I know he asks Brin, "Do you want this trike for Easter?" She nodded her head and off we went to purchase it. The next day we decided to take a family walk, dogs included, to try out Brin's new wheels. Here she and Daddy are sporting their sunglasses and enjoying the spring sunshine!




Lately Brin has been showing quite the interest in the potty. She now has a pink potty and a little white potty. Earlier this week Daddy found her sitting on her potty playing the electronic Yahtzee game. I guess that's one way to keep her entertained while she waits. :)
