March 31, is my youngest child’s birthday, he’s 3. THREE! wow, seems like only yesterday I pushed him out of my wazoo. Good times.

I’m going out of town, but will load some of the birth comics when I get back to celebrate.

Hathor asks: Try to strap you into a seat?

baby answers: Stiff as a board. Struggle. yell.

Hathor asks: Put something you don’t want in your mouth?
Baby answers: Clamp it shut. turn. freak out.
hathor asks: Pick you up against your will?
baby answers: go limp. drop to floor. escape.
hathor asks: put clothes on you?
baby answers: take them off. throw them. even if it’s cold.

Hathor asks: So you’re almost two, huh?
baby answers: I like to think I’m anti-authoritarian.
hathor asks: And I’m the authority?
baby says: I just call it like I see it.

…The winner of the reader’s choice comic for this week is Monkey Butt! Enjoy!

________

Here’s the problem:
toddler +dirty diaper+control issues = rash!

solution: a bath

simple right?

Baby says: NO!
Try threats? or Logic? no, try a game!

Fill tub with toys, put water level just under the knees, and let baby just STAND there. Fun!
Then! distract child and throw coins in the bottom of the tub

Hooray!
submersion!

Tune in next month when I finally figure out how to wash baby’s hair.
