Entry 1: Boring Day
It's just a normal Monday morning here at my house. It's a pretty day, I can tell by looking out the window, but of course Daddy has school work and we're stuck inside. He feeds me and dresses me and then puts me into the colorful and crowded playpen, expecting me to play. I hate this pen; there's too much stuff inside so I can barely move, and that clown is freaking me out. Shiro is next to me typing away on his computer. This is my time to shine. I will start by making a loud crying sound, drawing his attention over to me. When and if he looks this way, I will smile like nothing's wrong. Easy enough, but I've done this so many times he's used to it right now.
A minute has gone by, but he's so deep into his homework, he does not even respond. I fall back down and sigh. Time for Plan B, where is my noise maker? Ah, there it is! When I shake this hard, he will have no choice but to look at me. I rattle it loudly and look up. Nothing. "Come on, I am cute, just pay attention to me! School doesn't matter!" That came out in a series of baby sounds, I know. Daddy still looks into his shiny silver and black computer, deep in concentration. I have been wanting to get my little hands on it for a while. "Alright, you leave me no choice." I take a deep breath and close my eyes really hard. I poop. I know it's smelly and gross, but this is the only option I have left. It worked! Daddy is looking at me. He's coming over and grabbing me. Good, because I am not going to let him go. I pretend to be good when he changes my diaper, and then I hold onto his shirt, giving him a silly grin. He exhales and brings me to his computer and sits down with me on his lap. I touch the computer and smirk. This is how I win.
