"Good Morning baby! Good Morning! Ohhh, why are you crying? What's the matter?"
Hug her in the crib, notice a big difference.
"Piper? Where's your diaper?" All I'm feeling is baby bootie. There it is, crumpled on the side of the crib.
"Piper, did you take off your diaper? Silly girl."
Pick her up, notice that my shirt is immediately soaking up excess liquid from her nightgown. Set her down quickly.
"Piper, are you going pee pee?"
"NO NO NO NO NO."
"Are you sure you're not going pee pee?" Check my shirt; not bad. The sheets, blanket and pillow case, however, are soaked. Good thing it was laundry day.
#2
Taking a shower. Clink, clink.
"Piper, what are you doing?"
Take a peek through the shower door to see Piper taking out all of my little bottles of perfume from the bathroom cupboard.
"No, no, baby. Let's not play with Mama's perfumes."
Evil smile.
"Piper, put them away please."
Feigning putting them away, only to grab one with an easy-to-remove cap.
"NO PIPER!"
Our bathroom smells really good now, by the way.
#3
"Bryce, Piper, time for dinner." Bryce comes downstairs. I see shadowy feet behind Piper's bathroom door.
"Piper, come out. Time to eat." Try to open door.
Notice a drawer is open with a towel stuffed in it.
"Piper, move the towel and shut the drawer so Mama can open the door." Trying to point a finger at the towel, almost getting it shut in the door.
"Piper, come on girl. Shut the drawer or I can't open the door." Crying ensues, followed by thumping on the door.
"Piper, see the blue towel? Oooh, a blue towel. Can you pick up the blue towel?" More crying.
"Piper, move the blue towel for Mama." Frantic crying, fingers scraping at the door.
Super Daddy comes to the rescue with a hanger, moves the towel with the hanger, shuts the drawer so Miss Frantic Tears Running Down Face And Snot All Over Her Nose can run out.

Giving Piper a bath.
"Pee pee? Pee pee?"
"Piper, do you need to go pee pee?"
"Yah gob gob gob gob."
Pick her up, put her on her potty.
"Teeth?"
"No, you can't brush your teeth yet. You have to wait until after your bath."
"Teeeeth?"
"Okay, back in the tub."
Crying. 2 minutes later.
"Pee pee? PEEEEE PEEEEE."
"I don't believe you. You can wait until after your bath."
Crying. 2 minutes later.
"Teeth?"
"After your bath you can brush your teeth."
Crying. 2 minutes later.
"Gob gob gob gob gob."
Sigh.

I could leave some profound motherly advice type comment that would shake your world, but instead I am just going to say "hehe". :)
Really I don't have any amazing advice or motherly anecdotes, but I can totally relate and can assure you that this too will pass, and even though it's frustrating, try to see the adorable-ness in it because you will laugh later if you aren't already... and then you'll be all nostalgic. :)
and then you'll miss these times and on and on the cycle goes. hehehee
