She Did Not Get This Compulsive Cleanliness From Us, That's For Sure


This kid is SERIOUS about hygiene. After a bath, she signs about it for at least an hour. Then there's about 45 minutes where she's not talking about baths and it starts all over with her asking for another bath. We let her brush her teeth almost continuously to tide her over. I made the mistake of letting her wash her hands in the sink after a meal but now she wants to do it all the time. If she's the slightest bit tired and/or cranky the tears flow if she's not allowed.

I'll try to get video of her new signs and.... wait for it..... words! Well, "Uh-oh" (is that a word?) when anything drops on the floor and "vuff, vuff, vuff" at the sight of a dog. She started saying "Muh" yesterday for 'more', but now I think it might also be the word for 'milk'. And so it begins....

I love your sound effects for hand sanitizer.
