Lock up- July 14, 2011
With a little sadness at the speed of her growth, we packed up Charlotte’s infant seat and MamaRoo. She just wants to climb out of them, on them, and generally make things more dangerous for herself. As our little explorer crawls and pulls herself up on everything she can, the most common phrases heard at our house are “Charlotte!” “No!” “Stop!” “Careful! “Gentle!” (“Gentle” is around Ginger. Poor dog, she is a trooper.)
With all of her activity we have started putting her in the Pack ‘N Play like a playpen. We have dubbed it “baby jail.”
Greyson does a running commentary when she does this. “Let me out! Why do I have to be in baby jail?!?! What crime have I committed!? I’ve broken no baby laws!”
We don’t leave her in there that often and she still loves her exersaucer. Most often, she does something adorable like this and usually gets picked up. We’re lousy wardens.
Spread it around:
Another mom once told me to practice "gentle" all the time, not just when they are being rough. So we say "gentle" and have them gently pat each other, the dog and us. It seems to have helped a lot!
