| 0:10.2 | Where we share some hot tips on the newborn phase, potty training, and bath time, and so much more. |
| 0:17.9 | And we close with our BFPs and BFNs for the week. |
| 0:20.3 | Let's get to it. |
| 0:22.3 | Hi, everyone. Welcome to the show. This is episode 129. Hi, Shauna. Hey. I want to know what's going on with |
| 0:30.7 | you this week. What is your check-in? How old is that toddler? Well, she is 23 months in one week |
| 0:37.1 | and a couple cute little things to report and then a little update. Okay. Yeah. So the first thing that's new this week, it's just so delightful. She's always liked like little back scratches and like little like tickles and stuff. I think I've talked about that, even when she was like an infant. She forgot about that for a while. And now her interest in |
| 0:59.8 | this is back in full force. It's so cute when we put her to bed at night. I think I've mentioned |
| 1:06.2 | before, she doesn't really want us to hold her and sing or anything anymore. She's decided the |
| 1:10.2 | new routine as we both lie on the floor, on the rug, and look up at her stars. And now what she's added to that |
| 1:18.3 | routine is she takes off all of her jammies because she wants back scratch and she goes, |
| 1:24.8 | gach catch, gach, gach. And so then she'll come and lie on her tummy with her back up. And then you have to like little tickle, scratch her back. And then she'll go legs, legs, and you do it on her legs. And then she's like, arms, arms. And she just like wants you to do this little tickle all over her entire body. And it's nice because it helps her relax actually for bedtime. It's good. |
| 1:46.4 | That's so cute. Although, I don't know about you, it's hard for me to get my guy into his jammies in |
| 1:51.8 | the first place. So it's like, oh, you want to take him all off now? I wouldn't recommend it. |
| 1:58.0 | Sometimes it's easy for her to get him back on, but lately she has been protesting and throwing a fit. |
| 2:03.9 | So if that, you know, once she starts to do that, I'm like, no, we're not going to do jammyless back scratch tonight. |
| 2:09.1 | Yeah. |
| 2:09.4 | You know, I'll just scratch her back through her jammies with, I don't know, extra hard pressure or something like that. |
| 2:15.7 | But I just love how she has dictated so many parts of her routine and her |
| 2:20.7 | life. And we just go along with it. It's like, okay, Cici does Cici. We're along for the ride. |
