Changing tables

Jordan has a "happy place." It's a place where her personality really comes out and she turns into this quite active, playful little doll. She gets a twinkle in her eyes and you can tell she is having a truly wonderful time. This special place is her changing table, well, any changing table will do the trick. Even when we were on our trip to Minnesota she would light up at the changing tables in each gas station or restaurant we would stop at. Does it have something to do with the fact that she gets those stinky diapers removed from her cute little bum and replaced with nice fresh and clean diapers or is there something else that causes changing tables to be such a special spot? I don't think I will ever know, but what I do know is that I treasure the time at the changing table when she starts talking (with her hands of course!) and running and smiling and gets that playful look on her face.

My mom really experienced it yesterday with her. She was doing Patty Cake with her on the changing table and Jordan got a kick out of it...nearly laughing, my mom said. Shortly after, she tried doing Patty Cake in the living room and Jordan did not find it funny at all and started to pout. What's the difference?! That is Jordan's little secret.

  1. How fun, Kayla! The changing table was Parker's happy place too...still is even though he is completely too big for it now (his feet hang over the edge of the changing pad by about 3 or four inches)! Thanks for sharing the sweet pictures of Jordan!
