Two in Diapers




When people give me strange looks and say increduously, "You have two in diapers? That must keep you busy," I always respond, "Yes, but it isn't the diapers that are the problem." Today, all that changed.
Trying to get both girls ready before leaving for playgroup, I put them both on the crib to change diapers. They love this. Kyla often reaches for Piper's hand and Pipes just wiggles her whole body with happiness. And so the problem began. Kyla had a very messy diaper (making me think for a while that she was even sicker than her cold suggested). While trying to clean her up, Piper wiggled close enough to put her big toe in it. I wiped her clean. Meanwhile, Kyla tried to move away and stuck her whole foot in it. I moved Piper back and cleaned up Kyla's foot in far more time than it took Piper to wiggle her way back and put her whole foot in it. Then she waved her foot around and kicked her other leg, smearing herself. I gave up, took Piper to the bathroom to wash her and then set her on the floor in the nursery. While I was MIA, Kyla got up and moved to Piper's side of the crib, siting down on her still unclean bottom. Sighing, I took Kyla's half naked self and just threw her in the bathtub to clean her up before changing all the crib bedding and flushing what I could.
So, yes, I do have two in diapers. And it is busy.
