Monday e had two crying spells, both of them my fault. I like to take a morning walk so we headed out. Usually e rides in the stroller to start then she pushes it as we approach the house at the end of our walk. For some reason I let her push at the beginning then she didn't want to sit in the stroller. Weeping and wailing ensued, lying on the sidewalk, frustration on my part at being thwarted by a toddler. Finally I picked her up and took her home. No walk that morning!
Later I made the mistake of showing her Elmo on the front of her diaper. She decided it simply would not do to use that diaper, so I pulled out another one and showed her it did not have Elmo. Well, she didn't want that one either. Back and forth we went until I played the "I'm bigger than you are" card and just fastened one on her. Lesson--don't show her the front of the diaper.
E said e was fussier the week K was up here without them. Perhaps these squalls were partly due to E's absence.
