"painting"

fleaThe time: Sunday, lunchtime. The place: our dining room. Casper is happily, if messily, feeding herself yogurt. I slip out to check my email (oh, the shame). I return to find Casper has put her foot - clad in a purple sock - on the table and is carefully daubing the top of it with yogurt. She has achieved an excellent amount of coverage. After the meal is concluded and new socks have been donned, Casper is very reluctant to put the dirty sock in the laundry basket. She wants to chew on it.
I also don't think I discussed the Sunday shirt melt-down. I dressed Casper Sunday morning in a red t-shirt with a polar bear on it that she has worn many times. She protested mightily, but that's hardly new. I went in to do some dishes as mr. flea drank coffee, and 3 minutes later Casper showed up at the gate into the kitchen holding her Osh Kosh shirt, worn the previous day. "ON!" she said, trying to get it over her head. We let her wear the dirty shirt. I don't think she's especially attached to that particular shirt - rather, it's assertiveness time. So we're trying to offer clothing choices in the mornings (only two choices). She spent the rest of the day occasionally clapping a hand to her chest and saying "mine."
