A diaper?!?

I don't have a full post prepared yet but I felt that I needed to share my day thus far.

Benjamin woke up at 7 with coos and smiles. After having his head washed and eating breakfast, Benjamin spit up on outfit 1 and Mommy, leading to both getting a wardrobe change. Outfit 1 went in to the hamper.  Perhaps it was too similar to what he wore yesterday. He is quite a fashionable boy!


I gave new meaning to the "Rootin' Tootin'" outfit
Now in outfit 2, Benjamin accompanied me downstairs so I could eat breakfast. It is only 8:15. As I am enjoying my breakfast and Ben is playing, he decides he doesn't like outfit 2 (I think he was upset that it sort of made him look like he was wearing flood pants. Not cool, Mom!) and spits up on it. As I clean my cereal bowl before changing him, he decides that I am not listening well enough.  That is when I hear THE sound. The sound that makes you panic at the thought that you may have run out of Shout and rubber gloves. It was not as bad as it sounded but I think he made his point quite clear.
Really?  Flood pants!?  How embarrassing!  And now it's on the internet!

Mommy is learning.  Sometimes she just needs a little motivation.

We sang some songs and played in outfit 3 and then it is time to eat again. Oh! What is that I hear? Another diaper change? No sweat!  This one sounds easy.  Wrong!  This one didn't have the horrible sound but it had fury! Fury that ran all the way up his back to his shoulder blades and got all over as I peeled outfit 3 from his body. Emergency bath! Yay! I look at the clock just to see it change to...11:30.
Oh yeah!  I'm the Master Pooper!

After such an eventful morning, Benjamin was all pooped out (pun intended!). At 11:50, he was down for a nap in outfit 4.
Look at this face! Are you really going to believe Mommy that I did all this?

Needless to say, I have been doing some unexpected laundry.

As I went to move the wet, clean laundry from the wash machine, what do I find? A diaper!! Not a new diaper but a wrapped up diaper indicating previous usage!! I fear it may have been THE POOPY diaper. At least all the laundry was still in the wash! Bonus: I got to really see the absorbency of the diaper in action!

I am hoping the afternoon will be a bit less eventful!
