Lots of baby talk, grunting, and lazing around.  I&#8217;ve been getting more and more frustrated with her because she won&#8217;t do anything for herself.  She used to dress herself, brush her teeth, get stuff, etc.  I found myself yelling at her last night because she wouldn&#8217;t put her pjs on or brush her teeth.  I was remembering how Lex was at three: stubborn.  The difference is he would argue and fight, while she just lays around and doesn&#8217;t do it.  I find myself nagging and nagging and nagging and then yelling. Ugh.  After they were in bed I was venting to Alan a bit and asking if I was unrealistic in expecting her to dress herself.  He reminded me that she can, in fact, dress herself, and pick out her clothes, and brush her teeth, but just doesn&#8217;t want to lately.  Smart Alan pointed out that I can continue to force the issue and she will eventually come around, or I can humor her and dress her.  Hmm&#8230; since we know she CAN do it herself, is it necessary to make her?  Anything wrong with taking one minute to dress her and have a nice night instead of twenty minutes to fuss with her?<\/p>\n<p>That said, my new plan is to baby my baby.  If she wants me to dress her, I will.  I&#8217;ll dress her and carry her and feed her (sometimes) and cuddle her and love her as long as she will let me.  I know the day will come when she no longer wants my help.  So for now, I&#8217;ll baby my baby!<\/p>\n<p>And speaking of babies, we had a really fun playdate this morning with Elizabeth and Alistair and another woman who has a 3yr old son and a 7wk old son.  Eve and the 3yr old play really, really well together and baby and I cuddled really well together too :)  Eve was actually super excited to see the baby.  She rubbed his head and was thrilled when he squeezed her finger.  It was cute.  I loved holding him.  Then he started crying and I gave him back!  :)<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3734\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/img_5314.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3734\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3734\" title=\"Crash helmet\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/img_5314-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"Crash helmet\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/img_5314-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/img_5314-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3734\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Doesn&#39;t she look like she needs some babying?  :)<\/p><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/z410GBej7F0?hl=en&amp;fs=1\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/z410GBej7F0?hl=en&amp;fs=1\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eve has been driving me crazy lately with her baby behavior.
