Not too far away...

Alexandra has made the transition to a side-less crib...well...smoothly wouldn't exactly be the description. She likes to sneak out of her room after bedtime and go around the house. And she's stealthy. Who taught this child to sneak? I'll be upstairs and hear the tiniest sound from the downstairs. Thinking the dog has learned how to open the fridge door and is possibly eating raw chicken, I check on it. Turns out Alex is downstairs, on the sofa with her blanket and a book, all snuggly in her spot.

When Mom was here, she found Alex almost asleep leaning up against the wall next to her closet.

Two nights ago, I found her sneaking into the guest bed to try out the accomodations in there.

But last night, she just wanted to be near her dad. So she stayed in the hallway, just out of sight but right around the corner from his desk. As silent as a mouse. But as she gradually got sleepier, she laid down and fell asleep with her head poking around the corner. We didn't even know she was there until John happened to look down.

So stealthy, so cute!

Operation Pretty Panties Commences


Today was Alexandra's first day to go diaperless. That's right, folks. We're making the move to underwear. Operation Pretty Panties is now active.

Day One went pretty well since most of it was spent at daycare. Nothing like outsourcing this kind of stuff. But she did get dressed in her panties this morning and had no accidents prior to getting to school.

We arrived at school with no less than 8 spare sets of underwear and changes of clothing. I mean, I wasn't sure what kind of day these guys were in for. But she was excited about wearing the new panties and had a "Baby Gone Wild" moment, walking into school and showing everyone her underwear. That's my girl!

End of day report, only three accidents. Well, 2.5 since the last one was during dinner and she did manage to finish it in the potty after I carried her across the living room from the dinner table. I declare that a success. Let the good luck continue, please.
