Every parent has this story. The time - 4am, eyes -half shut. The sound machine has transformed the bedroom into the Amazon, with waterfalls echoing in the distance. You wake up the baby because the doctor says you should play by the rules w/ 1 course meals every 3 hours. But prior to 4oz milkshake, you must change the diaper. Normally you have time to work the legs and rock the gas right out of the baby…But at 4am in the rain forest, it is like running a race in the fog.
One of my favorite shortcuts is the “remove the diaper, then wipe, then replace” technique. Instead of the “open the diaper, clean, replace while shielding, clean some more”. The difference is the diaper shield. You can guess what happens next- the changing area turns into a war zone, covered in a poop camouflage. You only have yourself to blame. Baby 1, Dad 0.

Ahhh...this brings back memories! Wait until this happens in the grocery store or Target. Playing hide and seek with the cart becomes an art!
This too will be a distant memory in another year... I can just imagine the sigh coming from you when this happened...Love Mom
