Got my just desserts

My third bedtime without my parents did not go as well as the first two times. Pawpaw (Mommy's Mommy) babysat while my parents went to Napa. For the last several months, however, I haven't been into Pawpaw. She is OK for a short while, but then I start clinging by Mommy for better entertainment. I don't know if it is because she speaks primarily Chinese which I don't understand as well (it doesn't help that the Cantonese language sounds like people yelling), if she is always nagging me about what I can't do, or if I'm annoyed that she doesn't know how to turn on the TV/music. Suffice to say that everything went fine in the beginning, and I was looking forward to Yee-ma (Mommy's sister Helen) coming to visit too, as everyone promised. But she never showed up, so I think the combination of everything made me really frustrated. I got really upset, refused to let Pawpaw change my diaper, insisting on having "Mommy/Daddy do" even though they weren't there. The result is that I got a really bad diaper rash - so bad that I woke up at 3 am in pain for an hour! Luckily my parents were home by then so they could take care of me. We all got our just desserts!

Note: It took 3 days for me to recover from this diaper rash. Ouch!
