Have I mentioned yet that Bailey says "All Done". Except she says it kind of like "ALLLL DAAAA!". She doesn't add the "ne" to the end of the word.
But she does say it when she is all done with something, so she knows what it means. When she's all done eating, all done having her hair washed, all done sleeping, all done getting dressed, all done getting her diaper changed, all done being on the floor, all done with us not paying 100% attention to her...well...just about any time that she is all done with anything. Sometimes coupled by a squealy whine.
LOL
I have pictures and videos. I just have been a damn slacker. Tomorrow morning, I'm home with Bailey. Hopefully I'll have the time before she gets up to upload some of them.
Kelly was asked this morning by another mother at childcare how we have the time to cut up fresh fruit. She didn't say anything, but as she looked at the other two children who were being fed poptarts, she thought "How can we NOT find the time. Look at the alternative." I hate to be judgemental...but how can any parent justify feeding (or allowing their child to be fed) a fucking frosted strawberry Pop Tart for breakfast? I mean, Kelly and I are not the queens of all healthy food (that would be Susanne, actually...who makes the most incredibly healthy stuff for their little guy...) but we're sure as shit not going to let her eat juice and Pop Tarts.
Geez. And people wonder why kids have weight problems and diabetes and can't concentrate or focus. I think that Sugar 101 should be a required class for parents.
Anyway.
Speaking of food...Bailey will eat just about anything as long as you give her a fork. She'll even let you feed her while she's trying to feed herself, as long as she has a fork.
And we've started to eat at the dining room table (well, we're starting to try anyway). Time for family meals to start. She's old enough now to start to process what it means to truly be a family...and eating meals together at the table has always been a value we've held. Now is the time to get it started.
Happy Tuesday, everyone!
