When Lola Gets Naughty ...
Lola can be a bad, bad baby. We often quote Bad Kitty to her: "She used to be a good [baby] but then ... she decided she would be a bad baby. And not just any bad baby, a bad, bad, BAD baby!"
Lola bites and hits indiscriminately. She used to bite just the adults she loved and then, after she finished teething, all the biting stopped. Since she switched daycare rooms, though, and she has been bitten by other toddlers, the uncontrolled biting has commenced. About four out of every five days we receive a daycare report that says Lola either was bitten by or she bit someone else. Somedays we get both reports!
She also likes to take off her diaper, which means that she must have an extra protective layer (shorts, skirt, etc.) to limit her access. Today Lola practiced drinking water from a cup, which meant she soaked her shorts. I stripped her and left her just in her diaper. Big mistake. Lola immediately started stripping off the diaper, so I chased after her, which turned into a fun negative attention game for Lola. Yuck. So we put her in a skirt.
Later on I walk into the living room to see Lola perched on top of the dinosaur table with her bare bottom up in the air. She realized that her skirt DID allow access to her diaper, so she took off the diaper, unstuffed the insert (which was her attempt at being helpful), and then peed on the floor. Of course, she then climbed on top of the dinosaur table to escape the pool of urine. She did have the decency to say "uh-oh!" and point to the floor, which was very helpful.
We immediately went out and bought a whole bunch of skorts. No more diaper access for Lola!
