Bathroom Humor

Don't worry. Not near as bad as it sounds.
This post could run the gamut from love of a baby to things-we-really-would-rather-not-talk-about but I shall try to be concise. You DID hear me say try, didn't you?

K is such a sweet baby. I have just officially breastfed her longer than the other 3! I was going to stop when she turned one...but two seems just 12 short months away!
So this whole attachment parenting thing, (which I didn't think I was but M says I am) is really just parenting. I tried to sling her...she never really took to it like some babies. I nurse her. (that's attachment parenting??) and she slept with us until it became too dangerous for her.
N-E way, she follows me from room to room which I think is SO CUTE until of course I want her to sit for ONE second why I off to the (ahem) secret place.
I try to get up without making any noise (squeaky computer chair, squeaky wood floors, squeaky joints) and sneak away. Yeah, RIGHT.
So, I scoop her up because if I try to outrun her she'll cry. Yes, I admit it. I have tried to outrun my own baby. I am not proud of it.
Off to the secret place for a quick, well, YOU know.
I am now calling it the secret place because it is the one place I really do not want her. Too many unspoken (shudder with me now) g-e-r-m-s. Even though the bleach makes regular stops there. When she finally makes the cut and gets in there with me she whispers (daaaaaa,daaaaa) with eyes full of wonder and a look like that proverbial cat.

Well, today she discovered the amazing bathroom tissue roll. With eyes as proud as a new papa holding his first son, she RIPS off a piece and hand it to me triumphantly!
"Look, what I have done!" "For YOU, you lucky mama!"
I immediately realize that this is one of those moments where I should immediately put a stop to a beginning bad habit. But she is soooo cute when she does it. So I keep taking the little torn off pieces all the while issuing lilting "thank you's"! My next thought of course is that she will eventually find the END of it and pull, which of course she does before I can even finish that thought and I can see Michael Pearl now, shaking his head and clicking his tongue.
Should have nipped that in the bud Mrs. Clunn. NOW see what you've got? A baby who thinks it is OKAY to pull the bath tissue roll end until it becomes long enough to wrap around one's neck and ride in a convertible with it flowing behind you like that blonde in all of the white scarf convertible commercials.
Sigh, but she's soooo cute.
Gotta run and play 52 tissue pick up. Did I mention she's cute with a tissue box too?
