Recently, Babykins has discovered that under her diaper she has a heiney. As with all great discoveries, it must be explored, and diaper changing time provides her only opportunity. This has led us to the Great Race between Mommykins, armed with a wipe, and Babykins, armed with gleeful curiosity.
Babykins, although not yet fully coordinated, has speed and two free hands on her side. While I have dexterity and planning on my side, I'm sleep deprived and slow. We're pretty evenly matched. For awhile, a clean diaper served as a distraction, keeping both of Babykins' hands occupied. She seems to have figured out the trick, though, waiting until my hands are full then throwing down the diaper and making a mad grab. Apparently, Babykins also has superior intellect on her side.
Thanks to Babykins' outstanding win record, I have perfected the Catch and Wipe, getting her hand wiped off before it reaches her mouth. This always brings on hearty bouts of laughter from Babykins. I can't tell whether she just enjoys the feel of the wipe, or whether she's celebrating her win. I have a feeling it's a little of both.
