Diaper Duty

I'm reading James Dobson's book "Bringing Up Boys," and in it he says his father once said about an energetic toddler, "If you let that kid get bored, you deserve what he's going to do to you." Here is an example of a slightly unsupervised toddler finding his own entertainment.

Yesterday, after I dropped a baking dish with two pieces of salmon and splattered teriyaki sauce ALL over the kitchen, John and I finally settled down to a nice meal (salvaged smushed salmon off the floor). We were letting Baby Z play because he already had to sit in his high chair through the clean up process. Anyway, things were suddenly very quiet. Uh oh. Here is what we found:

Proud of himself


Slightly chagrined?


The best part is Baby Z actually started to put the diapers back into the cabinet. It was very sweet. He is all about imitating his parents actions right now. And I think I may have deciphered a new phrase of his: "buddy dup." I think he might be saying, "Put it up!" Hee hee. Guess he hears that a lot?
