Alice is quite a strong baby. I normally notice this when she’s being Princess Grumpy-Pants. When that happens and i hold her in the armpits horizontally she can lift her feet above her head, holding her entire body straight out. Changing her diaper when she’s not in the mood can be quite the struggle as well. Alice’s daycare staff commented on this to me today, as they frequently have to clean her hair after lunch (since she’s the princesss of mess) and this can be quite difficult because Alice is such a handfull.
This morning I noticed this Alice trait because she wanted to play with the sink again and the little ALICE bench wasn’t in place. She figured this out and went over to move it in to position. The bench is about two feet long and made of wood. I was surprised to see her pick it up entirely off the ground and carry it. She’s also got a bit of an arm on her so she would be quite the terror around 2 or 3 when she blends those two things together.
But as you can see, she’s not just a strong body — she is fashion incarnate as well.
