My Eventual Triumph Over Diaper Debacles!


Many of you knew this day was coming, the day when my son would poop, and I would have it all covered. Let me tell you, it was a long time coming.

Most of my success I owe to the fact that Henry has just started solids. The introduction of rice cereal has given Henry more to digest then he has ever had to in his life; this is probably the reason why, after 2 days, he had not pooped.

At the start of day three, I was prepared. Something was coming, and that something had to be BIG!! My sences were honed. I was on the look out, listen out, and smell out. All morning long I proceeded with caution, and then it HAPPENED! I was sitting in the rocker playing with Henry, when I heard a big squirt. Thinking quickly, I held him away from my body and up in the air. Past experience has taught me that placing him on the changing table after such a large bowel movement would sentence me to outfit changing duty. Instead, I unsnapped him, and removed his dirty diaper with one hand, while cradling him in the other. After setting the diaper on the changing table, I ran to the bathroom to wash off the poopy in the shower. Look at that clean butt! Another outfit saved my mom!
