Motnock's Corner: My daughter the dinosaur...

We're near the end of the baby cycle right now it seems. At least for 1st babies. Most of the people around us, e.g. family, friends, loose acquaintances, have already had their first child. So we've been fortunate enough to have lots of baby stuff handed down to us.

Lilly was born large though... So a lot of the clothes that people gave us either fit for a few days after she was born or the stuff they gave her to wear when she was a year old she started to wear when she was three months old.

Around the time she got big enough to wear hoodies I learned that she doesn't like stuff covering her head. Pretty much every hoodie I put her in, as soon as the hood went up she started clawing at it trying to tear it off. If she's unable to remove her head from the hoodie in a reasonable amount of time, (about 3 seconds), then she'll pout and glare at me until I do it for her.

All except one...

Whenever I put her in her dinosaur hoodie she becomes kind of zen like calm for a few moments. Then she beings rampaging about making guttural growling noises, trying to chug baby lotion, and pulling off the dog's ears... I'd be concerned, but she pretty much does that all the time anyway... Plus, it's much funnier when she does all of that with a little green tail...
