Baby monitor chatter

When the little one goes down for her daily nap, it's somewhat entertaining to listen to her chatter away. Today she was talking about her camera. We gave her one of our old digital ones but I wouldn't let her take it to bed with her. She did her usual roll call and named all her friends and family members. After about 45 minutes she was still jumping around and not sleeping so I went in to see if she had poopy pants. That's usually how it goes, she waits until nap time to poop but then can't fall asleep because she has poop. So I went in there and asked her if she had poopy pants and she said "yes, that's what I'm talking about." Uh, actually that's NOT what you were talking about. I've told her if she poops to just call me and I'll come change her. But no, she screams every single other thing she can at me (I want: a book, water, blanket, etc) but never poop. I hope scientists are not spending any time trying to unlock the secrets of the 2 year old's mind because all they will find is that their little brains are almost completely focused on candy and coloring on something forbidden. Spend those research dollars on zero calorie delicious cupcakes I say.

How about a little non-suckage today? In the interest of full disclosure I never get paid to talk up stuff I like. Because I am not a popular mommy blogger. Believe me I'd take free swag were it offered. Onward. I am a big fan of sleep sacks. Up to this point (yes they make them big enough for a 2 year old!) we've been using the HALO ones and I'm pretty happy with them. We have a fleece one and a cotton one. But when I saw that Aden and Anais had come out with some I had to try one. Ellie was a summer baby so I used the A&A muslin blankets and loved them. Now I'm just as happy with the sleep sack as I was with the blankets. The lightweight material is perfect for summer (endless, hot, miserable summer) in Central Texas. The material gets softer after each wash and we bought the XL and Ellie has plenty of room to grow. They get two thumbs up here.
