Yikes!

Adelynn eating her toes for an after dinner snack!
Addie and I

Lately I haven't been able to take a shower without Addie screaming her guts out. She doesn't have a problem with me leaving, or doing anything else, just when I shower (she must know it's my time to take a break). So, yesterday I put her in her walker with some finger foods, and hid her in the kitchen while I enjoyed my shower. She had no problems, and we were all happy! So, I thought I found the perfect solution! This morning when I went to shower, I did the same thing, gave her food, stuck her in her walker, and hid her in the kitchen. Then, I thought, "Well, I'm a bad parent, because what if she chokes, and I shouldn't leave her unattended in the walker". So, I wheeled the walker closer to the shower, so that I could peek on her while I showered. Guess what? As soon as the shower started, Addie started crying. I was in there for a total of thirty seconds and I heard a higher pitched cry. I peeked out of the shower curtain to look at her, and she was head first on the floor, with her feet still stuck in the walker seat. I said a few choice words, and sat her on the floor to eat and play. Thankfully she was fine because she fell on carpet and not the kitchen floor. I just can't believe that she isn't even 8 months, and she is climbing out of the walker that is suppose to help her walk! My Grandma and Grandpa Stoker will love to know that I have finally found the solution for a quick shower, a child!

  1. I'm surprised that she hasn't given herself a concussion yet, the way that she always wiggled out of her bouncer.
    Check out Ange's "test" on the Stoker blog.

  3. Oh poor little addie! And poor little Robin (not getting her long showers)! I totally feel for you on the shower, the shower is the one place I feel like I have "me" time. I just keep turning the water up hotter and hotter and just stand there, not wanting to get out and hear a baby crying or a "mommy, mommy!". It is my five (sometimes ten) minute escape. :)
