Another Mommy Blog
Even though this isn’t the most flattering picture of my backside since my ass looks like it’s roughly the size of China, it makes an important point which is – SOPHIA IS A BARNACLE!
Yes. You heard me right…BARNACLE. I can’t shake her. She learned the word “up” and now she exercises her right to constantly ask demand to be picked up. It’s an ongoing struggle because I really want to hold her every minute of every day, but in reality I have dinner to cook, a house to clean, a job to go to, oh and that other kid to please. I just can’t carry around a barnacle all day (even if she is the cutest darn barnacle that you’ve ever seen).

Okay…the ONLY thing I have to say to that is if you think YOUR backside is roughly the size of China…well, those of us who truly DO have backsides that large are thinking perhaps we’ve been underestimating just how LARGE ours really are….I’m thinking mine is maybe the size of the entire western hemisphere..or the entire known world?? From one LARGE backside to a… ahem.. very SMALL backside..get a new mirror!!

Yes our Sophia is truly a barnacle. While visiting us she stuck to Papa Harry like glue. I thought it was due to the fact that like Grandpa Pete he was under her spell. A single pointing finger resulted in exactly what Sophia wanted to do. Take a walk, climb the stairs, look at the bees it was Sophia heaven. All I can say is try the pick up and distract method. Sometimes that worked for Grandma and GG. Once interested in something else like bothering her sister she may leave you alone for 2 minutes.
