is it friday the 13th yet? cause it really felt like things were aligning against us. evie and i started our friday together battling over getting dressed. she was perfectly content to wear her pajama top and diaper all day today. she really didn't want to take that pajama top off. it took me over an hour to finally get her dressed. it may not sound like a big deal, but it can be a tad exhausting.

next up, we headed over to the presidio to meet up with our friday friends at a playground. this was actually really nice. the playground is really nice, and compared to the playgrounds in our neighborhood, it was like the ritz. only problem? poop. evie's system was a tad, um, off (i'm guessing the black beans for lunch and white beans for dinner were the culprit). we're talking six poopy diapers in a day. three while we were out. thank goodness i had three diapers. the only thing worse than six diapers in a day is six diapers and diaper rash. the poor thing was in pain every time she went.

ok, so combine an upset system and diaper rash with tooth number 20 and throw in a stubborn temperament (i think she gets that from her dad) and we didn't have as much fun as we do on a normal friday.

but all was not lost. she sang "time after time" to me this morning in the midst of the clothing battle. i believe it was self-preservation as i was beginning to look for a band of gypsies to sell her to. then at dinner tonight we had family singing. "twinkle, twinkle", "goosey goosey gander" and "row row row your boat". i'm just going to have to say that we rocked.
