Diapers

I remember back to our first Lamze days when Carolann was pregnant with our first child.
They taught us how to wrap the newborn, wash the babe and change the diaper. We even got to practise on life size offical Lamze baby dolls. "Not to bad" I thought when learning how to change a diaper.

My expectations of how diaper changing goes was radically changed once Daniel was born.
Babies and Toddlers do not lay still when you, the parent, are in the process of changing their diaper.

So my new rule on diaper changing is that it is normal and should be expected and one should be prepared for just about anything because kids are not still during a diaper change.

This rule has never disappointed me. It has always held true.

Until today.

5 kids latter.

I changed James' diaper this evening with...

• no fuss
• no wiggling
• no giggling
• no fingers reaching down to where the pop was while I'm trying to clean it up
• no unexpected fountains
• no trying to crawl away

So I encountered my first exception to the Diaper Rule.

The Diaper Rule does not apply to children who, after a great day of playing, are in a deep sleep.
