Walking wiggler

All kids go through it eventually. It's the dreaded diaper fight phase. For my toddler, she fought diaper changes from about 9 months to 18 months (at which point we started trying to potty train, mostly unsuccessfully). I'm just holding my breath hoping my baby doesn't start too soon.

     She already kinda is, but not too vigorously. She squirms a bit when we lay her down on the changing tab

le, but mostly because she has so much to explore that she does NOT want to be put in a prostrate position for any length of time. Even for a quick refresh of the soggy diaper, which I would assume is a pleasant thing to have changed. 

     Perhaps some of her disinterest in diaper changes is due to the fact that she has now discovered how to walk. Yes, folks. My 10 month old has taken those first steps and now is overjoyed at her now found talent. She gets so extraordinarily excited when she takes 2 or 3 steps and lunges at the side of the couch. We get a victory dance each and every time.

     And we cheer like it's the Super Bowl. Because really, how can you not cheer for someone so cute and so incredibly proud? It's exciting even if it means my chasing skills are going to need some sharpening and the diaper gymnastics are going to step up to a new level of difficulty. It's all worth it to see her gigantic smile and watch her victory dance.
