I thought I should also add my own thoughts.
*reading a bed time story
*confident nurturing gentle personalities
(That know whats best for you whether your ready or not)
*strong discipline (Spanking over the knee, standing in corner, stern talking, time outs, etc)
but gentle after care (cuddling, and reassuring that your still loved, and holding you supportively)
*playtime (playing childish games with you like patty cake and peekaboo, or showing you how to play with a toy, but talking to you in a very childish way)
*dressing you up in childish clothes and diapers.
*bottle feeding, bathing, burping, feeding, cribs, high-chairs*
*making you sit on the adults lap, the adult wearing adult clothing, suit & tie, or jeans, and shirt, but the baby wearing only a diaper and tshirt or babyclothes.
*cradeling in the adults lap and bottle feeding
*holding your hand, while walking around, leading you firmly where daddy thinks you should go.
*being playful with you, beeping your nose, tickling you.
*insisting it's time for your nap, or feeding, or changing you diaper or clothes regardless of whether your ready or not.
*watching cartoons with you, brushing your hair.
*talking about you with other adults present to them, while your sitting on my lap, or while i'm changing your diaper or playing with you.
*forcing you to use babytalk
*when feeding you, "here comes the airplane....", missing the mouth a little, and getting a little on your face, so your messy, and need a bib, then cleaning you up afterwards.
*forcing you to crawl everywhere, except when daddy holds your hand, allowing you to toddle in your thick diaper.
*checking you unexpectedly sometimes in front of other adults to make sure you don't need a change.
*deciding when to and giving you a pacifier.
*making you cuddle a stuffed animal.
*tucking you in at night
*giving you a stuffed animal to hold onto while daddy changes your diapers.
*potty training, you keep having "accidents"
*playing with you, using a puppet or stuffed animal to talk to you.
*teaching you how to play a game.
*giving you coloring books, or puzzles, or asking you to draw pictures with crayons.
*giving you piggyback rides
*talking to you with a tone that one uses with children with small words.
*feeding you babyfood
*doing your hair in pigtails/ponytail.
*calling you by a childish version of your name (usualy ends in y, ie "jenny, or kimberly") or using terms like "young lady", "babygirl", and asking questions sometimes in third person, like "are you a good girl?", "how's daddies little girl?", "who's daddies good girl?", "does somebody need their diapers changed?", "I think
someone needs a nap", "bad girl", "good girl"
*babyish PJs, footed sleepers, or pjs that look like a cute animal costume, sleeping with a stuffed animal.
*walking around in really thick padded booties
*sitting in big chairs, or laps where you feet can't touch the ground
*being wrapped in a blankie
*wetting or pooping your diaper in front of someone, or even while sitting on their lap.
*sitting in a playpen
*babypowder smells, bright colors, lullabyes.
*making you sit on the floor
*not knowing whats going on, daddy says "come here", you don't know if it's good or bad...
*surprises like ice cream or pies, or pudding
