Evidently, my son has taken a job on the side without my knowledge. He's decided to become a Beta tester for Pampers and push the limits of their diaper capacity. Turns out, those diapers are pretty good stuff! Now mind you, he decides not to attempt maximum limits until AFTER his bath. (After all, why should he soil himself when he's already dirty from playing outside and getting licked by dogs?)
But when I changed his last diaper before laying him down this evening, I was shocked and impressed. Shocked that my little boy (even though he's a big, little boy) was capable of that kind of output. And extraordinarily impressed that the diaper contained it all. I didn't have to re-bathe him. I didn't have to change his clothes. I didn't have to start the 1,279th load of laundry for the day. YAY!
I will give my knucklehead credit for one thing...at least when he decided to pee once the diaper was off, he did it pre-bath. He doesn't pee very often without the diaper, so I won't complain too much. But it's hard not to want to vent at least a little when you have to wipe down the walls, changing pad, remove the cover, and oh yeah, clean oneself.
Every day he surprises me with something new. Usually it's a new word, sound, game he invents, or a new inch he grew overnight. Today, he decided to surprise me with his capacity and job as a diaper tester. Hopefully, they pay well. Heaven knows I pay well for those diapers! Turns out, they're worth it!
