Baths, Not: A WonderBaby Jam



WonderBaby likes her friends, her Daddy, her cat and bedtime; could live without Mommy, and baths...

File this under Dubious Achievements, 2007: after many, many hours, most of which would have been better spent pursuing world peace or building her portfolio of paper-clip art, Her Bad Mother finally figures out how to upload video, which is really pointless, seeing as she has the film-making skills of a drunk Luddite with no hands.

Note that, when asked who she loves, WonderBaby names friends, Daddy and the cat before finally coming 'round to Mommy. Note, too, that the focus of Mommy's camera keeps vascillating between WonderBaby and the bottle of vermouth behind her. These two things are almost certainly unrelated.

I can't get it to load, either! Boo!

You have the video set to private, which means it mightn't load when embedded. And when we click to go straight to you tube, it is locked out because it is private.

I'm sure it is quite funny though! :)

ah the art of video and then the art of loading the video they are enorous tasks!

Found your blog today and well I will return left a comment too under the post where you talk about tanner.

I invite you to come and read my blog as I am a mom who cares about the issues here in Canada too, and I too think it is important to blog them...

I think it's kinda funny that it won't load. Maybe WB doesn't like us either.

Or, maybe mommy had too much vermouth. :)

AT least you are in the list. I usually am not, in fact, my daughter will often emphatically state that she does NOT love me. Good thing I know otherwise. I just tell her about unconditional love at those time.

I did the same thing with the first video I uploaded. Whoops! But that WB is FUNNNNNNY. She really does name everyone on earth before you, huh? Harsh. She could probably tell you were fantasizing about a strong gin martini ...

Is that ice cream all over her face? Good idea on the stripping her down first ...

Good GOD! that gal looks like her Momma. So Her Bad Father might get the love, but you, YOU are streaks ahead in the great race that is the surge for genetic supremacy. BOOYAH!

mebbe she envies you the vermouth, and is holding back her love so she has something to bargain with for a wee dram...

but, damn, she's cute.

and what is it with the Daddy love anyway? send some vermouth my way...

Blogger Her Bad Mother said...

The irony of it is, I don't even like vermouth. I like my martinis drrryyyyy - vermouth shouldn't even be in the room.

You and I learned to upload video at about the same time.

I have some grandbaby videos (far too many) over on granny.

That is the cutest! She sounds SO much like my daughter, it's scary. Especially the "noooo..." with a smile. And "awesome."

Very cute.

Is it so wrong that I noticed the booze before I read your words?

She is so beautiful, C. Her voice is like spun toffee.

That video made my ovaries itch.......

I have a son who will be 16 in a few weeks, and three other children of varying age... and I will be turning 41 very soon....... and yet.... the sights and sounds of your baby makes my womb ache..........

What is so endearing about children WonderBaby's age is that they're so positively delphic in their pronouncements.

Hey, pass the vermouth!

What a cutie!

The Boy only says "I love you" when specifically prompted, and then, only VERY rarely.

Isn't it 'candy is dandy but liquor is quicker?' ;)

Sometimes I wish I wasn't my daughter's favorite....all I hear is "mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy...." All. Day. Long.

back again because I just realized...why is there vermouth in a bathroom?

am i missing something?

ps. she has you sooooo by the short and curlies...

Mommy/Henry bath time is never any fun. For either of us.

Also? Henry can be yapping away with his Poppa about "Mama!" But as soon as that door opens and he sees me? He gets a big, sneaky grin and says, ever so loudly..."DAAAAAAAAAAHDA!"

CrazyMumma - as a matter of fact, a bathroom with a liquor cabinet would be a very fine thing indeed, but as I have no full bathroom at all at the moment, sadly, there is no liquor in mine. WB is finishing up dinner here, in the dining room.

And, anonymous? Hey buddy! Shove your widgets up your ass!

I say this not in a creepy stalker kind of way but in a I-know-you'll-take-this-how-i-mean-it kind of way, that I may have to bump you off and take that child. She is so amazing.
