Diaper Story

So this is a funny incident. Squeakums, now 16 months old can sign to us when he has gone pooh in his diaper. We're hoping that develops to BEFORE he goes. Body language and facial expressions are also dead give aways that he's up to something in the diaper. On a recent occasion he was clearly pushing out a number two. I rushed to get him on the potty to train him that's where he's to go. I unfastened his cloth diaper cover and let it drop as I picked him up for the transer to the toilet. Unfortunately he stepped on his diaper in the meantime and how had a large clump of pooh stuck to his shoe. This clump proceeded to drop to the floor, thanks to gravity, while I was holding him on the potty. Next I needed to get his poohy shoes off which he was making footprints on the bathroom floor with. Keep him off the rug, toss the pooh into the toilet, keep him away from the dirty diaper, and clean him up. In needful situations like these, it's wonderful to know that BearHunter is a willing helper. So I called on BearHunter to take baby and clean him up while I finished rinsing pooh out of the soles of baby's shoes and cleaned up the bathroom. Everything cleaned up just fine. Life with a toddler. Wouldn't trade it for anything.
