First Time Parents

Oh the joys of first time parenthood. Not surprisingly most of our adventures revolve around spit-up and changing diapers. Emmett's breaking us in quick though so hopefully it won't be too long and we'll be pros :O)

The most recent experience involved Popeye and me both at the airport. We had taken FJ down to catch a plane and we were almost there when familiar farting noises started from the little man next to us. I checked him out and sure enough, he had went right through the disposable diaper, through his clothes, down his leg and onto the carseat insert. (This was the last straw for the disposable diapers!)

After dropping FJ off at the door we parked and attempted to tag team this mess of a little boy. We tried to cover all our bases,....

Can we change him on the car hood? (no, its too hot out there)

What are we going to put the diaper and clothes in? (I think there's a shopping bag in the trunk, I haven't boughten a wet bag yet.)

Do we have something to change him into? (yep but only one outfit so he can't do this again!)

Who's going to hold and who's going to change? (daddy wasn't going to mess with the poo)

How to get it over his head? (roll the clothes and pray it doesn't get in his hair...)

oh, fun times. Emmett was a good sport until the end but even he stopped crying in surprise when low and behold, we finally have him cleaned up and laying pretty much naked on a blanket in the car and he starts urinating on the back seat. Now we won't tell you which one and we cleaned it up so you can, with confidence, ride in our car again, but thankfully after prior experience with such happenings... I quickly came to the rescue ;o)

Oh, first time parenthood. Thankfully, its funny.... even to us.... even at the time ;o) but I'm thinking maybe a couple kids down the line and a few more incidents, we might learn a thing or two. :O)
