Well, one week down and approximately 987 weeks more until we send you off to college. Time sure flies!!
I have been back at work all week, and I must say, I would much rather be at home with you and mom. You have been pretty well behaved all week, but for some reason, you were really fussy all night last night. I hope that is a one-off occurrence, but I have a feeling that we will have plenty more nights like this over time.
We still can't quite get the hang of this diaper thing. While neither your mom or I have a problem getting you changed, it appears that some of the diapers we have been using don't do a good job of keeping all of your pee in the diaper. I mean, god forbid a diaper actually be able to perform the ONE task it is meant to perform. Oh, and while I am on the subject, you totally peed in your own face yesterday! I had the towel down covering your bits, but evidently you felt the need to remove the towel so that you had a clear shot. I found it quite hilarious. You, however, were not amused once the pee hit your face...
Your ability to time your urination so that it happens exactly 3 seconds after your diaper is removed is uncanny. With that kind of self control, you should already be potty trained! So in an effort to counteract your ability to piss all over everything in a 3 foot radius from you, I came up with a brilliant plan. I went out and bought multiple packages of puppy pads...
In theory, this should be the perfect counteraction to your pension for pissing all over everything. Your mother, while extremely amused by my sudden flash of brilliance, was not so enthusiastic about my solution. Apparently puppy pads have all kinds of chemicals in them to make dogs want to pee on them. Ergo, no puppy pads for newborn babies...
All in all, it has been an eventful first week. With you, we are officially a family. With all of the setbacks we have had over the past few years, every facet of our lives seems to be just a little bit brighter now that you are here. Good things are happening for our family, and you seem to be the catalyst that is bringing it all to the forefront!
Till the next time...
Dad
Your hilarious, and I love blogs, so I'll be nosing around yours quite often I presume. May I offer a suggestion or 2, as if you haven't gotten enough advice, right!
ReplyDelete2 things I learned having a newborn boy are 1) if you are using any other diaper besides Pampers, stop! Pampers are the only diaper that I found work well enough and don't leak, it's worth the extra couple of bucks. 2) I found that Benny outgrew his diapers well before the pound-age limit on the diaper, I think it's a boy thing - they pee out the top of the dang diaper so you need to pull that sucker up as far as it'll go (when the cord falls off that is) and go to the next size up just as he reaches the beginning pound-age of the next size. Make sense? After a while when he is sleeping thru the night you may find that using nightime diapers in the next size up will prevent night time leakage. There's my 2 cents for the day, have a good one!
The pampers diapers are the ones that are working for us right now! Thanks for the advice, I will pass it along to Bethany too!
