Daddy and CC

The evening started out so nicely, a special night for a daughter and a daddy.  MJ came home from work early and took CC to Starbucks for a few hours so I could take a nap (solid sleep during the night lately has become a distant memory for me).  They enjoyed a nice "date," the first time MJ has taken CC out of the house by himself.

Then it all went downhill.  Back at home, MJ changed CC's diaper, and once he had her diaper off, she peed all over him.  About 5 minutes later, she had a meltdown of epic proportions.  I mean ... it was truly impressive. 


Nothing worked.  MJ handled it all himself -- I had no suggestions other than what he was already trying.  Pacifier?  Nope.  Music?  Nope.  Walking and bouncing and shhhhhh-ing?  Nope.  She had already eaten and had her diaper changed, so that couldn't be it.  She'd napped during dinner, so she couldn't be tired.

After 30 minutes, she finally exhausted herself and fell asleep in MJ's arms.  So at least the beginning and the end of the night were pleasant.  But the cause of CC's memorable tantrum will always be a mystery!
