I'm not exactly sure how this started, but Clio is all about being naked -- or naked except for a diaper -- these days. It's not that she disrobes; she just wants to stay naked or undressed or partially dressed once she gets that way. A key part of the experience for her is shouting "I'm a naked baby!" or (if we're attempting to put clothes on her) "I want to be a naked baby!" Of course, we have no one but ourselves to blame for this; for a long time, Alastair and I have been in the idiotic habit of gleefully yelling out "naked babies!" when we get the girls into the bath. That kind of humor is very funny to toddlers. And to us, apparently. And, well, shucks, naked babies are just so durn cute!
Let me interject to say that, in case you're wondering, no, there will not be a birthday suit photo of Clio accompanying this post. As cute as it would be, I wouldn't feel right doing it. Not just because there are sickos out there, but because it seems like an invasion of her privacy. Unlike the rest of this blog. Ahem. Um...er...Moving on!
