An Unwelcome Diaper Change

Wednesday February 8, 1995     Lark is two years old.

Dear Lark,

You're quite upset with me. 

I've been home for lunch this hour.  You played with two icecubes a few moments.  Then you wanted something else and I couldn't understant what.

I noticed you're still wearing your clothes from yesterday and your diaper from last night.  You didn't want to change.  I slipped your diaper off.  After crying on your bed a few minutes you brought me a clean diaper.  You like to apply your own vaseline and powder, so I let you.  You want to fasten the diaper too, but I did that while you were putting the lid on the vaseline (which you also insisted on doing).  I asked if you'd like to choose something to wear.  You didn't.  I left you crying and now you've stopped. 

Two is hard for you.

You have crawled into my bed under my covers and fallen asleep.
