here is a random list of things I'd do as a toddler regressor that would, at best, put a smile on my mommy's face, or at worst, drive her crazy /lh /hj
- letting her help get me out of clothes, while being very specific about what I will do myself. "mama stapphh I do pants!!" "okay angel" as I kick off my pants and then whine for her help, and of course she's used to this so she continues
- following my mommy around everywhere just for funsies! or just popping up randomly, "hi mamaaa!" and proceeding to wave alot or just grab/hold onto her randomly "aww hi there muffin, you just want mommy's attention, hmm?" with LOTS of nods afterwards
- asking the most random questions and or dropping random facts, "mama cougar da biggest kitti dah can purr." "oh really? thats so cool!" or "mama wy pengies cant fly?" "im not sure bub, they evolved to be unable to overtime"
- the looping of kids songs I like in the background. "freeze! time to switch gears, use your hands to make elephant ears! now wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle your ears!"
- getting upset when bathtime is over because I just wanna play moreeee! "cmon princess, bathtime is over and mamas unplugging the drain to get you all dried off now." cue the pouts
- also getting fussy when I'm tired because everything is harder n no longer fun! my mama noticing im not as energetic n seeing the signs its bedtime or naptime. "here, we're gonna start your nini routine. I know baby, I know, but your toys and cartoons will be here tomorrow too." cue the sleepy compliance
- dealing with accidents: the immediate sniffles/cries, need for paci, quick action for a change, and soothing bounces.
"shh it's okay, mama has you all clean now, big feelings but you're all dry n cozy little one."
- the art of decoding toddler speak... "mama book!" "aww, does my little fairy want mama to set up somewhere to color?" "noooo! floof wan mama book" pointing to the book shes reading "oh, you want mama to read this to you?" "uh huh" "well, it's a bit of a boring grown up book, but anything for my sweetheart." cue the nestling into her lap :)
