The missing diaper caper
It stinks – literally… Today we had a funny thing happen. I picked up JT because I smelled something unpleasing after breakfast. I picked him up in his blanket sleeper and he felt skinner around the bum area. I was puzzled and unzipped to investigate. The picture below is what I found! I really made me giggle, which really made Olivia giggle, which also made JT start to laugh. It was great – guess his overnight urine supply was weighing him down.
It stinks that on Monday JT took a good shiner to the head. We were at the optometrist finalizing Alexis’ new glass frames when he ran up to us, tripped and head butted the desk with much force! It blew up instantly and troubled him, me, Alexis, and all of Dr. Hatch’s staff. He was crying really hard as you can imagine when he was brought a glass of water and a sucker – he quieted as quickly as he had started and was good to go. He did touch it a couple of times on the way home and said,"Owee".
It stinks that on …. Sunday night we had another crazy caper concerning this fella. All of our company had departed after Olivia’s B-Day party and the older kids were preparing for bed. I wondered where JT had traveled off to and ended up finding him in the mud room bathroom. As I assessed the situation I began to scream at the top of my lungs. I saw an opened toilet with #1 and #2 duties in it (another tidbit, there was no trace of toilet paper), a cup on the floor – no doubt retrieved from the tub, a skiff of fecal matter on my green shag rug, and moisture coming down JT’s chin! This is one of those moments when I am grateful for my husband! He rolled his sleeves up and took care of every last thing. I was in a paranoid fit, worried that JT was going to get EColi. Rest assured he has been just fine the past few days in that department.
It stinks that JT isn’t an infant anymore. JT has hit another milestone and right of passage: Nursery! He has been going the last couple of weeks because he is now 18 months old. He has done very well with the transition, only fussy for the first few moments and then is easily distracted. WHEW – that is a relief. As much as I am sad that he is growing so quickly it is fun to watch him discover the world and the things in it. He just has one of the cutest smiles that I have ever seen, you need to see it for yourself in person. He is also really great at understanding and following directions. His family are his favorite friends still – especially Dad and Lexi. He is very independent and will find a way to tangibly acquire anything he desires – doesn’t matter how hard or high. Yes is has monkey genes inherited from his father most likely. Still loves tractors and helping me mow the lawn. All in all he is a very easy going little dude and we just love him like crazy.
 No, that isn’t a moon boot under JT’s right leg – it’s his night time diaper. |
 Makes me sad to just look at it again. |
 Man that’s big! |
