On Saturday night, we had spaghetti for dinner. Kaitlyn was wearing a light colored shirt, so I put a bib on her. She hasn't worn a bib in months, because for the most part she is a careful eater (or more truthfully, most food I give her is light-colored and not staining). She was VERY upset about the bib, and threw a fit. I told her she needed to keep it on, and eventually she calmed down.
We sat down to eat, and Kaitlyn was agitated, whiny, and sad. She was taking a bite of garlic bread and started crying and pointing to her mouth. We decided that she was teething (her canines are coming in), and we were trying to be calm with her.
After a few more minutes of her acting like this, it finally hit me - she was still throwing a fit about the bib! I took it off, and she was immediately all smiles and happily ate her food.
About an hour later, Christian picked up a baby doll that had been in her stuffed animal holder and gave it to Kaitlyn. She hugged it and loved on it for a minute. Then Christian pointed out that the baby doll is wearing a bib, and she looks happy to be wearing it. (The bib is sewn on to the doll, and can't be removed.) Kaitlyn pulled the doll back, noticed the bib, and got the same agitated look on her face. She threw the baby doll down and has refused to touch it or even look at it ever since.
Kaitlyn is a spitfire.
