Conspiracy Unveiled!

Faithful readers, you have been treated to descriptions of some of my finer efforts to sabotage and disrupt the daily lives of my editors as revenge for their lackadaisical posting habits and stubborn refusal to let me play with electrical outlets, and your support and feedback has been tremendous. (looking at you Grandma Patty)... But my meager exploits have been child's play compared to the genius of the "hairless fox", also known as my cousin Lainey. Lainey not only has perfected CATERWAULING in her crib for hours at a time, demanding to eat only whatever it is that the grown ups are eating and REFUSING breast milk in any container other than its original packaging, she has now started finger walking and stair climbing substantially ahead of normal development schedule (and for the most part, your humble author). Needless to say, my auntie Colleen is run ragged. I cannot thank Eel-laina enough for simple little tips like squirming out of diaper changes, waiting until my parents have just fallen back asleep before taking up screaming again in the middle of the night, and refusing food unless fed to me off an adult spoon or via my own two hands. Here are some pictures of one of our most recent clandestine conferences, as you can see with Lainey's help I had already managed to liberate myself from most of my clothing (thanks Grandma Patty!)
