I should write a book on Diaper Debacles!
Despite Henry's young age he is already an activitist. Henry, Scott, and I did the Y-Me Walk for the Cure (of breast cancer) on Mother's Day. Henry already has an impecable sense of style and he insisted on matching his outfit to mine. Everyone from Aon was wearing maroon t-shirts, so Henry wanted to wear his blue and maroon striped "D is for Dog" jumper. I'm so thrilled to have such a stylish little man!
Because we would be walking for 5k, I didn't want to bring my diaper bag since it is big and bulky. Instead, we used existing storage in the stroller, since we would be taking that along. Forgetting a lesson I have already learned, we packed no extra outfit for Henry, which was ok by him because we didn't have any other well coordinated outfits.
We got to the walk ontime and everything started out great. I met some other women from my floor and we began walking and chatting. I am not exactly sure how far we got, but Henry started to get fussy, as though he wanted to eat. We excused ourselves from the walk and found a grassy patch in Grant Park near Columbus Dr. We took Henry out of the stroller. He was soaking wet! I swear! I had to check if we actually put a diaper on him this morning! It was an overcast day, and not particularly warm, and breezy by the lake. We changed his diaper, and to buffer Henry from the soaking wet, well coordinated jumper we placed the two burp cloths that we brought with between him and his clothing. I hoped this kept him warm. Poor Henry!
Naturally, we were not going to let him spend the rest of the morning in a pee-soaked, albeit well coordinated jumper. We took Henry to Macy's to find a new outfit for him to wear. Although Henry was a little dissapointed that there was no outfit that coordinated with his momma, he EVENTUALLY found something to his liking. We took him to the changing room, sat on the floor, and took lots of pictures. Do you like what he picked out?

We have encouraged our nanny to take a lot of photos of Henry while we are at work. Here are some great shots she took a few days ago...

Diaper Debacle Diaries.... part two
On our last day in Puerto Rico, I couldn't stop congradulating myself for perfectly packing for Henry. I had one clean outfit left, that was perfect for the trip home, and I had a pair of long pants and a hat for the cold weather back in Chicago. We got to the airport with little trouble; and we were used tot he security drill by now. I took Henry out of the snap-and-go, and placed him on my sholder.
Hmmm....Something smelled funny.
Scott giggled and said, "Oh MAMA". The security guard lady asked me if someome was misbehaving.
After we got thru security, I made a beeline for the bathroom so I could clean-up my Henry. Luckily, I had disposible washcloths with me. Unluckily, there was only one soap dispensor in the whole bathroom, and it was located on the opposite end of the bathroom from the koala care diaper changing station. Also, I was a little premature in all my congradulations to myself on perfect packing. I had a pair of pants for my little man, but no shirt! Ay dios mio!
Scott and I ran all over the san juan airport looking for a vendor with a shirt or a onesie that would fit Henry. Eventually, Henry got hungry and Scott had to go it alone. While I sat and nursed, I could hear the flight attendants call for pre-boarding. Then for regular boarding. Then last call for boarding. Finally Scott found his way back to the terminal just in time! And what did he have?
