My child is strange sometimes
But whose isn’t, really? Kids can do some really funny things, and also some really weird things.
Something she likes to do recently, and I really have no idea why… is climb on the couch and wedge herself behind me (kind of like if she was going to do a piggy-back ride, but sitting), wrap her little arms around my waist and pull me back so I’m leaning on her. I don’t put all my weight against her of course. Then she’ll just sit there, and peek around me to try to see the television. I guess maybe she sees it as me sitting on her lap, without really sitting on her lap? Because when she sits on my lap, that is pretty much how it is – she sits on my lap, and my arm/s are around her waist. *shrug*
This next bit, cracks me up every time she does it, which is probably why she does it. When she’s wearing a diaper or a pull-up, and it’s started to get saggy (which means we’re obviously overdue to change it – oops), she will stand with her legs apart and shake her little butt and make the saggy part flop back and forth. And she’ll do it with a ear to ear cheesy grin on her face, because she knows it will make mommy (and daddy too if he’s nearby), burst out in laughter. And then shoo her into her room to change said saggy diap. ![]()
