Someone's Messin' With Me!!!!!
Ella does not like to be messed with.
What qualifies as messing, you ask?
If she had any pull whatsoever with the government, all of these things would become crimes.
Remarkably, diaper changes don't end up in this list. For some reason (I haven't quite figured out what it is), changing time is also talking time, which is just a blast. The sweetness of her voice when she's cooing kinda offsets her pterodactyl screeches; happily, the screeches are becoming much fewer and further between.
The heartbreaking part is that her cries are now somehow sadder-sounding than before. So when she begins to feel messed with, you feel bad for doing whatever it is you're doing to her.
As soon as she's able to use the phone, we're going to be in trouble... to quote one of her onesies, "That's it--I'm calling Grandma!"
What qualifies as messing, you ask?
- Face-washing (she's sitting there minding her own business, when out of the blue, a big wet thing gets all up in her face, it's just awful)
- Nose-crust removal
- Clothes removal, particularly onesies, which involves the face
- Putting ON Clothing (see above)
- Insertion into the car seat (though this isn't always the case)
