I hope this is just a phase

[GOmamab15]

Let's play "I hope this is just a phase"
What nonsense is your LO up to these days?

Or am I the only one with a sometimes naughty and mischievous baby?

[GOmamab15]

Eating socks.
He takes them off in the car seat and then chews on them. Then they're soggy and I don't want them out them back on, so he gets to be barefoot.

[GOmamab15]

Eating shoes.
Kids obsessed with tasting shoes. My shoes, dad's shoes, his own. I really hope he grows out of it.

[GOmamab15]

Playing in the dogs water bowl.
Every baby does this one though, right? It's just so annoying to clean up. And he beelines for it so quick!

Yes! But in our case substitute cat for dog. Still really messy...

Mine are also sock chewers. L more than G.

G has started throwing fits when I close the gate to the family room whether I'm in there with him or not.

L licks and chews on all shoes. Oh, and the dog's bone. It's probably cleaner than the shoes honestly.

G plays in the dog's water bowl immediately on the rare occasion he's allowed out of the family room.

G also beelines for the trash can in our bathroom. And every cord in the house no matter how well hidden.

One of G's favorite parts about mealtime is banging on his tray so that all the food bounces off onto the floor.

My kid refuses to leave her socks on in the car, thinks the cat dish is a water table made just for her, and tries to eat all shoes. So those things all seem normal.

[Stringy]

Hating getting dressed, trying to crawl away, head butting when I get her back on my lap. Screaming during arm insertions.

Nibbling on nipples. Enough said.

NOT SLEEPING!

Also a shoe chewer, doesn't care about socks as much.

[pbandj714]

Oh yes, Stringy, thank you for reminding me of the screaming/lunging/flipping/crawling while getting dressed/diaper changes charade.

This is part of why we potty trained EARLY with DD1. And DD2 has just as little patience for diaper changes

[bexincanada]

Diaper change flipping is a thing here too, and sock chewing.

[babyzebra]

Wanting to chew on cords... she can't enough of those!

[greysonsmom]

Biting! DS was not a biter, DD will come up to you looking all sweet and then just chomp down and man does it hurt. Also hating the car, also I don't have high hopes. DS is going on over two and a half years and DD doesn't seem to be giving up anytime soon.

[pbandjelly]

Eating any shoe he finds, flipping the water bowl, playing with cat and dog food, finding any and all cords, ninja acrobatics during diaper changes... All of these are driving me nuts.

DS finally achieved his goal of putting his hands in the dog water last night and cried when I took him away. I should find a different spot because my dog is finicky and has to have some pieces of food left on the floor, or else he will just bark at the dish, and I'm afraid DS is going to put that food in his mouth and choke.

+1 to exhausting and frustrating diaper changes!

DS1 is potty training. I think we're almost done with the little potty, but it's been tricky to keep DS2 out of it. I have to watch them like a hawk. I am ashamed to admit I haven't always intervened in time. Blech.

I'm actually just kind of over the whole crawling thing in general. It sounds weird, but I just can't wait for him to walk, because I feel like having two toddlers will be easier (in some respects) than a toddler and a baby!

DD2 loves the toilet. DD1 isn't on a little potty, but if she leaves the bathroom door open, DD2 always makes a beeline for it.

[athn64]

She's been very leech-like lately. I know she's very much into stranger danger and all that, but please dear god let your father hold you too!

[bexincanada]

All these pet food and water dishes, something to look forward to for when Is is more mobile.

[bgkc4]

I hope the flipping over when I try to change or clothe her is a phase. She also likes back flips in general (throws her head back when I'm holding her in an attempt to get me to flip her) which I don't like and don't know how it started. She head-butts me and DH sometimes and I hope that's a phase.

[titania]

Freaking out with diaper/clothing changes! Trying to put clothes on is apparently the WORST!

[greysonsmom]

Apparently lately hair brushing is the greatest form of torture. Chicky better get over that quickly because her hair is only getting wilder and wilder.

[sandandsea]

He's up crying all night lately. Idk if it's teething, separation anxiety, bored, new tricks, overtired, etc
But it's gotta stop. I'm dying. We need to sleep train again but I'm too tired to tackle it. And we will be out of town this weekend so bad timing. Maybe I should call a professional but they're so expensive.
