002 / {Naked Jaybird}

When I was little, any time we were naked, like fresh from the bath tub, my Dad used to call us "Naked Jaybirds." Apparently, he heard this term from my Uncle David, who used to call his own children this. A few weeks ago when Papa (my Dad) was giving Kaelynn her bath, he called her a Naked Jaybird. Kaelynn thought that term was the funnies thing she had ever heard and ran through the house, naked, calling herself a "Jaybird." Now, as she has fully transformed into a 2 year old, I often find her undressing, stripping down to the nude. She learned how to take off her diaper/pull-up and often takes it off. I know that all children go through the "naked phase." It's quite hilarious and I often wish I could take pictures of her running around in her birthday suit. She joyfully squawks, "Jaybird! Jaybird! I'm a Naked Jaybird! I'm a Jaybird!" as she enjoys her naked time. True, it's not always cute and adorable. Like when we are getting ready to go out and I turn around to find a naked toddler. But most of the time, my little "Jaybird" is adorably running her naked self through the house.
