I have seen sich baade conjugated both ways (det, dt). I always go with det. Yes, two way prep, but there is motion here, sitting down. You are changing state (from standing to sitting) that's why it is accusative.
Doug - Is "sich baade" an irregular verb. I noticed that in Slide 7 you listed, "Er baadet sich.", vs "Er baadt sich." Also on the same slide, "Du hockscht dich in die Kich hie.", Wouldn't "der" (vs die) be used since "in" is a 2-way preposition and motion is not indicated (thus dative case)? Just making sure that ich verschteh.
I have been following your videos and keeping good notes, the pieces are falling together. I have a hard time with the sectarian speakers, unless they are old. The Older ones understand me right away for some reason.

What if we are washing or dressing up someone else? As in I am dressing up/ washing the baby?

You are right, it is Pennsylvania Dutch, a different language from standard Dutch.
