"Diaper! Down!"

Those were the words I heard this morning as Jude shuffled into the kitchen after me as I was making breakfast. Seems I had forgotten something. That something would have been a diaper change when Jude woke up. Evidently the velcro tabs couldn’t bear the weight of the contents and simply gave out.

I can relate.


How the two of us laughed over this… something about his succinct choice of words for his ‘condition’ just tickled me. That and the fact that his pants were around his ankles. Good times.

Yes, I retouched the photo. And yes, he is indeed a boy.

And yes, I know he’s going to hate me for this one day. But for now a handful of MnMs will do the trick.

    Hee hee, that is too funny!! Reminds me of the opposite effect when my jet-lagged husband (business trip to Asia) forgot to put a pull up our daughter. When she woke up the next day and came to us soaking wet, it was no fun.

    Moms are allowed to forget things once in a while so don’t fret. ๐Ÿ™‚ At least he came to tell you!!

    Diaper down is funny. With Grace (adopted at 16 mos.) we hear shoe-offs, shoe-ons, coat-on, sock-on, pants-on, pants-off. “Mommy, I put on my shoe-ons. I take oss my shoe-oss”.
    It’s all depending on the position of the items.
    Thanks for the re-touch. He will hate you less!

    That is hilarious. When I read “Diaper Down” a visual of a swat team rushing in with wipes and diapers came to mind. Thanks for the good laugh.

    Oh man, this is so priceless – exactly the stuff you want to remember in years to come! I love his “Diaper Down” comment too – sounds very militaristic for some reason. ๐Ÿ™‚
