Miss Munchkin's Indoor Pool

MissMunchkin's biggest complaint about the heat is that Mommy is refusing to even go to the pool. This is a favorite activity for MissMunchkin. She is getting over her hesitation (for better or worse is yet to be seen) and is learning to hold her breath, kick, and splash (under Mommy and Daddy's watchful eye.)


After a few tantrums and trying to get to her swim suit in all manner of ways she seemed to have given up on the concept. Or so I thought.

MissMunchkin has discovered she has her very own personal indoor pool and it is just her size! How cool is that? Here Mommy and Daddy just thought it was a bathtub. Silly, silly them.

In MissMunchkin's pool she can hold herself up with her hands and kick to her hearts delight. She can splash and splash. Who cares that it gets water all over the bathroom? Mommy wanted to mop anyway. Didn't she?

Oh, what will she come up with next?

The Art Of Teeth Brushing

MissMunchkin now has a mouth full of teeth and while she still has a few more to go it has been decided to begin brushing her teeth. I had been debating about it with dread; cutting her fingernails in more than enough adventure for me. However, after Daddy made a comment about it taking him almost twenty years to get in the habit himself, I figured we'd might as well get started.

Now envision a screaming, crying, tantrum throwing MissMunchkin.

Did Mommy brush too hard or poke her in the eye?

Nope.

Toothpaste taste icky?

Nope, try again.

All Mommy did was take the toothbrush away after ten minutes of watching MissMunchkin brush and brush... and brush!

Did I mention she's excited because she got her very own new bottles of shampoo and body wash?
