Wants

Sometimes Lyla tells us in a roundabout way that she wants a bath and bed. Sometimes we don't immediately catch her drift, so she communicates more directly:


I had an awesome first day of school, by the way. Lyla's day was decent: good sleeping but bad eating. We think she's teething again based on ear tugging (we're pretty sure it's not an ear infection) and general fussiness. Plus there's that occasional cough left over from her cold. And she's still a snot factory. Let us know if you need baby snot for any reason, and we'll totally hook you up.

Also, as you saw, she managed to smear food on the entire orb of her head, which pleased her not at all. Admittedly, our amusement may have exacerbated her rage.

We are learning that there are certain situations where Lyla wants Mama, not Dada. This evening, that was fine by me.
