Full Stream Ahead

Boys. We all know to be careful when dealing with boys and diapers right? Well my boy is sneaky and devious in that he hasn't so much as dribbled without a diaper on in months! So I let me guard down.

Yes, that's right, I let my guard down. How could I? We all know the routine:

1. Open the diaper and throw a cloth over him so the fountain has nowhere to go.
2. Wipe the area clean and have an already waiting diaper available for quick install and wrap up.
3. Ensure everything is in correct position and complete the seal on the package.
4. NOW you can create the well known diaper burrito and toss into the genie.

Well, he's been so good lately so I've relaxed a little from the newborn stage where diaper changes took me a total of 1.3 minutes including fumble time for the untrained hands. I'm convinced he's been planning his attack for months now knowing that eventually he could take me down without my suspicions getting in the way! The last time he did it he peed on his own face so I think he was aiming for a little payback this time. Teach me for laughing right?

I left out the last bit of step 2. I didn't have the fresh diaper waiting, I reached for it and as I was opening it the fountain started. Not a dribble or a splash, full stream ahead past the end of the change pad and onto the carpet! Lucky I was preoccupied and the babe has yet to learn to aim or he would have had his revenge and I'd have pee up my nose. And when I looked at him in shock, unsure of how to react, what did he do? He started giggling like his master plan had just worked exactly as he'd envisioned and victory was his. Seriously I've never heard a baby master the art of the evil laugh until this morning!

So a word to the wise. Never let your guard down, just when you think the uncontrolled pee accidents have ended, you have a whole new issue at hand and they begin doing it because they think it's funny.

It's a good thing he's cute!

We're BACK

Taking a 4 month hiatus is maybe not the best way to feel more comfortable with my writing. SO I'm back! I don't know what I'm going to write about but hopefully between my crazy cats and my 8 month old son we'll all come up with something interesting. And if not, well there's always books!

Spring is on it's way and I'm tired of telling myself that I don't have time for all the things I love to do; Writing especially.

As I type now, I can hear my son playing in the living room with my wonderful husband. Daddy is teaching him colours. Good Daddy. He's biting Daddy's nose. Good boy.

I would love to ramble on about some fun thing we did like jamming cheerios where they don't belong or picking my nose in the grocery store but for now I'll leave on a high note, happy that I accomplished this little note at the very least today so I don't start off on the wrong foot again and go for another 4 months before coming back here.

Carter: Not quite sure what he did with his cheerio this time. Boy do I LOVE this kid.
