One of THOSE Toddlers

I’m pretty sure that when Carrie learns how to take off more than just her shoes and socks she’s going to be one of those toddlers. You know, the ones you can’t take your eyes off in public because if you do for even a second, they’ve stripped naked.

She walked around story time today, lifting her dress up enough to show off her (admittedly cute) belly button to each mom and child. (I swear she’s the only toddler who knows where her belly button and teeth are but still can’t find her nose.) I felt like the other moms were looking at me like I’m intentionally raising an exhibitionist. It’s all Sandra Boynton’s fault really, since her Belly Button Book is one of Carrie’s all-time favorite stories. She even made up her own sign for belly button. (Or possibly belly or tickle, it’s hard to say.)

But considering her obsession with removing her shoes and socks, and her obsession with belly buttons, nothing good can happen when she figures out how to undo snaps…
