Well, we went through 4 outfits today…. And that was for Davis.

We started in a soccer jersey so I guess it doesn’t count that we changed into “work” clothes after that. But unfortunately, part of the outdoor work ensemble includes gloves that are too big, so of course we get creative, too and I taped them at the wrist. Downside was when he came running in to use the bathroom but couldn’t get his underwear off because of the darn gloves. Accident number 1.

Accident number 2 was shortly thereafter because he is forgetting to poop in the potty. We kind of suspect this is the regression everyone talks about with arrival of a baby.

And then at the end of this day, I am on my own with both kids, and so of course I ask a lot of Davis to take care of himself when my hands are full. He gets his own cup of water now from the fridge. We have cups out where he can help himself. It’s such a great achievement for him.

So, In this fourth accident he spilled his whole cup of water on the couch and the counter. But it was just water no big deal. Except that somebody didn’t like being wet, so the pants had to come off for yes, the fourth wardrobe change in one day.

Phew.

And we think newborns are hard. 🙂

Some big concepts this week for Davis. First, he saw me pumping. I really had been trying to save him for witnessing this. Yes, his eyes got very big. (warning: a little PG here) He wasn’t so much interested in why or how my breast was being stretched by the machine as much as how the machine worked. The engineer in him wanted to know all about the yellow box making the noises. And then he was over it.

Second, he was helping Daddy change Reese’s diaper and asks, What’s that?, meaning why doesn’t she have a p&*%s. (dont want to be marked as a spam site) So we simply explained boys and girls have different parts and i used the real part names. And he nods his head and then says something about his arm and if it got hurt. No idea where it came from, but glad to see he didn’t dwell on the body parts.
