Goodbye Monkey Pajamas!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

The twins will be two years old in twelve days. Every day comes with a new trick, a new skill, some new accomplishment. D's newest "skill" qualifies her for a "Not My Child! Monday!”.

It all started with the discovery that socks come off rather easily. From socks, D learned that the Velcro on her diaper is also very easy to use. My child is not a nudist! Oh No! Not MY child!

 A few nights ago, the kids and I were having a lovely spaghetti dinner at my parents and the all ways prepared mother that I am did not have a single bib or change of clothes. The easiest thing to do was strip both babies down to their diapers, socks and shoes. Not long after, I left them at the dinner table with the rest of my family to retrieve B, who has never liked food. Sweet, wonderful, smart little D excused herself from the table, removed her diaper, threw said diaper (which WAS clean) in the garbage and came to find me in the den, sporting socks and her Mary Janes. Naked as a Jay Bird!

So this evening I should have known that trouble was coming when D discovered the snaps on the front of her pajamas and just how easy they were to undo. At that point I should have put her in snap less pajamas but I didn't... so at 2o'clock this morning, after moving poor, sickly B back to his bed from mine, I found her sleeping like, well, a baby. Completely in the buff. Her adorable monkey snap pajamas draped over the rail of her crib, her diaper on the floor. I should never be surprised. About anything. Ever again.

So goodbye monkey pajamas. You served your purpose well.

I have grown very tired of D L B E. Starting tomorrow I will be referring to my children and wonderful husband by - get ready for it - their names!!! I'm honestly just tired of having to edit myself and I really love my children's names! They were all so thoughtfully chosen they might as well be enjoyed. Stay tuned!
