What baby activity should be an Olympic event?

My vote is giving baby medicine via a syringe.

I second diapers.

I say using a nose sucker, you need a good steady hand.

Definitely snot sucking!

It seems to me that everything could be... C is hard to keep up with.

I would agree with mishy, O can pull off some amazing moves to evade diaper changes. I'd also enter him into a 20 yard dash with the dog food bowl at the finish line. This kid has a one track mind as soon as he gets on the floor and he moves FAST!

Trying to wrestle things away from them, like wires and paper. My kid has a strong grip and is very determined when he wants something!

I agree with diaper changes, medicine syringe, nose sucking and a 20 yard dash. R will do anything to try and get the "big phone" aka DHs tablet. We have a Tigger and he could win gold for bouncing the highest in his jumperoo and also for the longest time. Also, he is a whiz at screwing up the tv when he gets the remote.

All of these could be lol, dd also loves pushing DH's Xbox button to turn it on and off....I can't tell you how many times I pick her up away from there.

OMG yes; we switched to the suppositories. I got over my hesitation on those after a few projectile vomiting episodes with the syringes.

How about xbox/cell phone/remote control keep-away? That's a daily sport in our house.

Unless your my H who gives LO his cell phone to play with/look at changing shapes with lullaby music and she manages to change screens and call 911. Yep it happened yesterday after getting a call back from 911 and the police showing up to make sure we were "getting" along I couldn't help but laugh because I even have a hard time with his new phone getting from one application to another.

Clipping finger nails!!

And I second the cell phone/remote control keep away.

Schell2013 · February 2014

How much stuff you can carry while holding LO at the same time.

smg2302 · February 2014

I think nail clipping is the biggest talent.

Lolalipsy · February 2014

Changing a nappy and nose wiping. I feel like a wrangler!

Speaking of nail clipping...last night I had to put LO in her car seat and have DH hold her arm still so I could clip her nails. She was close to drawing blood with those talons.

You mean your's hasn't? J has now drawn blood from both me and DH! Maybe that would be our event: keeping lips and hair out of baby's hands

PumpkinAndThePeanut · February 2014

Picking up a baby while you're already holding another baby.

And definitely diaper changes. And snot sucking.

Shoegal36 · February 2014

Nail clipping used to really stress me out...until I started my latest technique. Highchair + Elmo's song on YouTube = stress free nail clipping!

Mine would be face washing. She HATES it and it's especially hard when she does things like rub carrots into her eyebrows and prunes into her nose.

^^I just wait for his bath

Diaper changing, snot sucking, nail clipping and general changing of an outfit-B is all over the place when I try to put his pjs on or clothes in general -he hates having to stay still.

Well we only bath every 2nd or 3rd day, so I might get some judgement for having food on her face that long

watuzzigal · February 2014

Freestyle Boobing. A now twists all around while she's nursing. That would be subjective scoring though.

coffeeandbooks · February 2014

timed snapping should be an olympic sport....it takes a lot of composure and skill to snap up those pants on with a crying wiggling baby.

Shelenec · February 2014

A pairs competition of successfully transferring sleeping babies to the crib. Points will be deducted if baby starts to stir or cry. I would lose this competition!

"Getting to work and from work without forgetting anything."

Everyday I'm like a bag lady. Between my purse, work bag, lunch bag, the baby, his daycare bag and bottles, and my pump I'm amazed that I don't forget too many things very often.
