What babies REALLY think of us

So being a new God Mother and all, I’ve really just sat sometimes and thought of all the little things that go on in 3 and a half week old Baby Peyton’s little mind. I mean, yea there aren’t any huge thoughts but you have to wonder what kind of explanations his little brain is thinking up.

 (Now there are four lovely God Children that I'm realizing how over protective and selfish i am with, but this little one is very new and intriguing)

 So it kind of started the day before yesterday (not that that means anything to you) when I held Baby Peyton while he cried, it was feeding time and he was done being patient. So I held him and Jonathan said “I wonder what he’s thinking of what he just got. He’s crying for milk and we stuff a rubber pacifier into his mouth! I would be pissed”

 Now that got me thinking! I would be pretty upset as well! I mean come on, I’m hungry and you’re giving me that?! After that Jonathan and Bria talked about how it kind of sucks being a kid. Even if you’re hungry, you can’t have food until your parents allow you to. THAT SUCKS! Like if I’m really hungry and a kid, I have NO control over if I can eat or not; it’s not my decision! A kid can really be hungry, but we’re not feeding them.

Now I don’t say that to encourage an “Over Eating Maury Guest”  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m just pointing out the truth.

 

Kind of makes you wonder how many times your kids or the kids in your care have really, truly been hungry, and you’ve told them “no, you’re not getting a snack right now, we will have dinner later” and then they’re waiting there with their tummies growling for 2 more hours! Has a toddler ever run away from being hungry? JK JK

Well some thoughts that Baby Peyton (I kind of got a thing about calling him “baby Peyton”) “shared” with me that night were this:

1. Why is it that when I’m sleeping peacefully that you decided THEN to take a picture of me with the worlds brightest flash! I’m trying to sleep.

2. I know I’m sleeping in my car seat all snug and everything, but I haven’t forgotten about the cold, wet, and mushy diaper I’m wearing either! I’ll get back to you on that.

3. Please keep those siblings of mine in your sight at all times! When you’re not watching is when they bother and touch me the most!

4. Honestly I sit in a swing, boppy, bouncy seat, or someone arms all day long, I’m not dirty! Stop bathing me all the time; it’s NO fun for me! And I know I peed in the water last time and you did nothing about it! Mission FAILED!

5. Another thing to remember is, when I start to really get my vision going, don’t be all up in my face! It’s like blurry… blurry….blurry…WAM! There you are smiling creepily in my face and I’m officially freaked out. Back off some... just a tad bit please!

6. When I cry and you do that whole bouncing thing... yea... it’s not that it’s calming me down, it’s that once again I’m freaked out over the change in my body’s equilibrium! I’m not sure what’s going on and you are oblivious to it scaring me to death. You think “awww, he loves to be bounced” WRONG! I like to be cuddled, fed, changed promptly, swaddled sometimes, and kept warm, the end!

7. I'm really too tired to get into the whole "shushing" thing you do. That's for another day.

In conclusion, the next time you’re bouncing a baby, or feeding him/her a pacifier when you know it’s feeding time, stop, take a look into those precious eyes, and think to yourself, “how much more damage and I really causing”

PS... This baby above is NOT my Baby Peyton! Just some random baby that popped up on Google when i typed in "angry baby"
