Running Around Naked
I have been sporting one heck of a nasty diaper rash lately. Mommy has been working really hard to care for it, but it just keeps on keeping on. One of the strategies for helping it heal is to let me run around naked to allow my buns to get some air. I feel like I should mention that I was "driving with the load not properly tied down" for at least 15 minutes before I required a "clean up on aisle two." These are Mommy's phrases. I'm not sure exactly what she's talking about, but I do know that when I peed on the living room rug, I felt strangely free.

I'm going to break chronology here to talk a bit about overnight diapers. It's related, so bear with me. For the last few weeks, I can safely say that there has not been one night when I haven't woken up soaking wet from a leaky diaper. It doesn't help that I like to sleep lying on my front with my buns in the air - not the position that is most conducive to diaper success. So Mommy has been desperate to find a solution. On the advice of a friend, she discovered something called "doublers," which are essentially maxi pads for babies. I've worn them for three nights now and they work! The morning after the first night I wore one, though, Mommy came in to get me and was so excited that I was dry (and that my bed was dry) that she let me stand there naked while she got my clothes. Let's just say that I had that strangely free feeling again, soaking the crib, the floor, and the leg of Mommy's pajamas. Even I knew that was funny.
