Our grand prize winner..... and the Uber charming and talented super genius baby!

For all those you of who participated in the first ever babyjammy contest, thank you, you rock. And mostly everyone guessed correctly, it was in fact the peepee teepee that Benjamin owns, so Josie is the big winner as the first to guess it. (Josie - I am thinking if I were really super smart I would send them to soccer with Loren tonight, but we'll see how far I get with that. Otherwise, you will get them eventually, I swear! And also I definitely want to borrow the book about Enzo the racing dog, so whenever you are done with it pass it along.) I am going to pass on the peeing contest, although I'm sure Benjamin would be a tough competitor. I have seen him pee up over his head, and hit the diaper stacker on the wall. Top that Luca! (I'm sure Luca is also quite talented in the arts of long range peeing. Before you know it they will be writing their names in the snow together, or some other super boy like thing.) Wow, I think that is enough of that for the day.
In other news, the uber charming and talented super genius baby slept from 8:00 last night until 7:30 this morning. Woo-hoo! And it only took one (very hideous) night of re-ferberizing to get there, so I don't know why we waited so long to re-ferberize. He also very enthusiastically ate sweet potatoes last night, so maybe he has turned a culinary corner, and will start eating something besides pears.

The Triple Threat Diaper Change

Please note - if you are not now, or have not recently been, the parent of an infant, you should skip this entry. Not only will you find it boring and disgusting, but your opinion of me will drop considerably because of the subject matter which I will now embark upon. Trust me, if you ever have a baby in the future, and you still want to read it, I will email it to you, and you will appreciate it then.

Ok, so hopefully if you are still with me, you are part of a parents only audience. Whoever would have thought that I would be the kind of person that would publicly (well semi-publicly) write about poop? But here I am, about to do it. We had a doozy of an exciting diaper change this afternoon, like we haven't had since the boy was just brand new. First of all, he was very upset and making all kinds of red angry faces. This is never a good sign. So I changed him once, and there was just a tiny bit of poop. Followed by about five more minutes of red angry faces. And an impressive poop explosion of a diaper. So, I am trying to mop him up, which takes 4 cloth diapers, 2 diaper wipes, a clean changing pad, and even to wipe down part of the changing table. It was not a pretty picture. As I am mid wipedown, he starts peeing straight up into the air, with impressive arc, which gets not only all over his outfit, but his face too. I'm telling you, the kid has got range. Another cloth diaper later, his poor little face is cleaned up. I should mention here that at this point, he is happy as a clam, babbling away in little baby Swahili, kicking his feet and smiling at me. Ok, clean up done, and I get a fresh new diaper on him. At which point he spits up on his arm. Oh for Chrissakes, is there any bodily fluid or substance that he is not activley expelling all over the place? I suppose I should be grateful that he wasn't runny-nosed and bleeding.
