Amelia Bedelia strikes again...


Who knew when we named her Amelia, how much she would take after the zany character in those beloved children's books? She is always in mischief, especially messy mischief.
She loves anything creamy.
Lotion. Shampoo. Diaper cream. Yogurt. Soap. Lip gloss.
Or anything with lots of small pieces.
Popping corn kernels. Cornmeal. Penny jars. Hair clip baskets. Wallets.
But her very favorite thing is emptying the wipes out of the container and strategically placing them around the room. All the while, using one hand to continually wipe her face and arm. Lately, she has taken a liking to getting dressed. She loves to put on multiple shirts, even though she can't get the armholes quite figured out yet. Socks are also a favorite.
Any size. Dirty or clean.
Well. Monday night we heard her crying out in her crib. When I came into focus, I noticed she had gotten her nightgown AND diaper completely off and was mad cause she couldn't get them back on. We took the opportunity to snap a picture, but she was so mad until her clothes were back on. Calla, Cory, and I, on the other hand, laughed heartily.

I am so glad there are other children who strip down! Just be glad it didn't involve a poopy diaper...Ashlynn did that once and I thought I was going to have a breakdown!
I was hoping for an update soon...I love visiting you via the blog. We must plan a time for a lakehouse retreat...next summer though...school starts Monday and soon it will be closed up for the winter. Sorry it didn't work this year...it has been topsy-turvy here! Hi to all , K
