Diapering 101

Reflections on the 10 things Rob has learned about diapers in 9 months.

1. Never think you have witnessed the worst.

2. Never put it on too loose.

3. Don’t let them see you take it off.

4. Make sure they are finished before you open it, for the love of God.

5. There is no such thing as too many wipes.

6. Get another one under that butt ASAP.

7. Never ever try save the clothing with an explosive mess.  It just spreads the mess in places it shouldn’t.

8. Don’t expect any one color when you open up that diaper.  It can be anything from soft light brown to  glow in the dark green .

9. Don’t tickle them when the diaper is open. They may not be finished and it might go off.

And 10. The lesson of the day – Don’t under estimate a one year old’s curiosity of the feel of fresh poo between their small fingers.
