Hannah is not napping right now. Instead she is jumping with D. and Mister on the trampoline. She took a short nap in the car on the way home from errands after church and I guess she thinks that is all she needs, even though she has a full-on Hannitude today and could use the nap.
After lunch we put her in her crib with her favorite ba-ba (paci) and ba-beak (blanket.) We knew she wasn't happy because she screamed our names (and not in a crying sort of way, but a "you better get back in here before I..." way) for close to thirty minutes. Then I heard it: "MAMA - I PEEEE-PEEEEE!"
I was pretty much sure I knew what had happened so I didn't delay. And of course when I walked in there she was pointing at the puddle in the middle of her crib, saying "Pee-pee, Mama" with a smile and laugh that makes you want to laugh with her. Not only had she peed on her crib sheet but also on her beloved ba-beak and two of her babies. But don't worry, her ba-ba was safe in her mouth. God forbid the ba-ba be harmed!
But like any good stern mother who knows she is on the brink of losing precious nap time, I acted quickly without a smile on my face. We went to the bathroom but she didn't have to go (of course not) and then I changed her sheets, brought out the secret, emergency-back-up ba-beak and put her to bed with a new pull-up and extra tight pants.
I shut the door and went straight for the couch. But I wasn't there long. After several minutes of silence I was sure we were in the clear and she was off to la-la land. I am such a fool. "MAMA - I PEEEE-PEEEEE!" Apparently it took her longer to get those tight pants off. And there she was once again with her clothes off, pull-up off, and pee in the middle of the crib. I honestly don't know where all of the pee came from since she's had little to drink today and barely ate lunch.
In the end I guess she got what she wanted even though I really think she just thought the whole thing was fun. Since I had no crib sheets left or ba-beaks, girlfriend is out of nap-luck. Or rather, I'm out of nap-luck!
Do Hannah and William communicate by ESP or are they just whispering about these things in the corner when we're not looking?
