A day in the life of an (almost) 18 mth old

0dark30: Wake up yelling/babbling/screeching non-stop until Daddy comes in for rescue.

0dark30 - mid morning: Screech, take diaper off, eat cat food, spill cat water, climb on top of older sister's booster seat, swipe older sister's leftover cereal, spill cereal on floor, fall in spilt milk, cry. repeat.

Mid-morning-lunch: Tag along with mom, sister, friends for various outings; climb anything and everything possible, screech, attempt to take off diaper, eat dirt/mulch/small bugs/crumbs stuck deep down in stroller; hug strangers, cry when strangers remark on how cute that was, screech.

Lunch: spill, throw food, shove entire banana in mouth, choke on banana, smear mushed banana in hair, laugh at mom and dad's facial expressions, screech

After lunch: NAP. allow mom to catch breath momentarily.

Mid afternoon-dinner: teeter on edge of baby pool trying to reach dead bug and put in mouth. screech when mom removes from edge of baby pool. drink pool water. screech when mom says no. repeat "no, no, no" for half hour at top of lungs. put fingers up nose. attempt to remove swim diaper.

Dinner/post dinner: consume massive quantities of food. must have enough energy for tomorrow's escapades. jump on furniture. climb on exhausted parents. copy everything big sister does. attempt adorable dance moves. one more valiant effort at removing diaper. screech for good measure. give adorable good night hugs and kisses. throw books around room. sleep.... ahhh
