Practice Makes Perfect

Our 22 month old Evie is using bedtime to practice new skills.  After listening to books and a quick snuggle, we put her down.  For the next 30 minutes to hour we hear her talking.  I think she likes to practice her new words or just tell Teddy about her day.  Hey, as long as she isn't screaming or crying, we are ok with it.  Some nights she is chatting until 9 PM. 

For the past 3 nights she has taken off her PJs.  We have found her partially naked (diaper still on, thankfully) when we check on her before we go to bed.  Our heat is set low overnight, so we have put her PJs back on.  Luckily she has gone right back to sleep.  We chuckle as we get ready for bed thinking about our daughter laying on top of her blanket, legs out the slots of her crib, with just a diaper on.  Crazy kid

On Tuesday morning I peeked in on her in the morning to find her sitting with Teddy on her lap, saying "good job", clapping, and doing so with just her diaper on.  Of course I quickly grabbed the iPad to video her. 

PJs off again this morning... and one of the tabs undone on her diaper... uh oh!

I am assuming this is a toddler, independence, "I can undress myself" phase.  Jason and I think it is hysterical right now, but when the diaper comes off, all fun is O.V.E.R. 

We will try a different set of PJs tonight (pants and top instead of the feet/zip ones).   Fingers crossed we won't be changing her sheets every morning!
