Bedtime

Katelyn has a bit of a stubborn streak that she gets from her dad. Sometimes when I change her diaper, she will try to roll over. I try to hold her, pacify her with a toy, tell her NO, all to no avail. She will keep on and keep on until she is on her stomach. Tonight, I was trying to get her ready for bed and she decided that this was not what she wanted to do. So she kept trying to roll over, then, when she was over (by the way I love that look they get once they get to their stomach that says, Wow! Look at the view from here!) I had to pick her up and lay her back down, at which point she would stiffen her body and walk her feet back so I couldn't get her down. I gave her two lotion bottles (she plays with the small travel ones when we get ready for bed) both of which she threw behind the dresser. I was on my way to the bathroom to get a third bottle with her under my arm - her butt sitting on my hip - counting down from ten so as not to lose it when I caught a glimpse of her in the mirror. I broke out laughing. She had a look on her face that said, Okay, where are we going now. She was just looking around taking it all in. She had no idea that I was frustrated to no end and she was the cause. All she knew was that she was headed on another adventure with mommy! I love this kid!
