So this really cute book that Mallory just loves is becoming a big fat pain in my arse. She is OBSESSED with “Fancy Nancy”, which is pretty adorable (it’s the book she’s “reading” to herself in the video from a few days ago), but this obsession has started to interfere with diaper changes, getting dressed, taking baths, etc.
She wants to carry the book around and read it ALL.THE.TIME. And because it’s not a little board book, it’s big, like bigger than 8.5 x 11, she can’t read it while laying on her back while I change her diaper. And it’s not waterproof so she can’t take it in the bathtub with her. So we end up having a huge fight about it which results in her either crying through her entire bath or us having a wrestling match so I can change her diaper and get her dressed.
One funny thing is that when we read the book, she can point out Fancy Nancy on every page, and also the daddy. But anytime I try to ask her “where’s Fancy Nancy’s mommy?” she turns around to point at me.
One more night until Rick gets home. He better hurry up so she stops thinking daddys (or is it daddies?) only exist in books.
