Bad Parents

We had a really fun family get together today. We always go out really prepared for crazy diaper explosions, 2 extra outfits, plastic bags for dirty diapers or messy clothes, lots of wipes, 10 or more diapers, burp cloths, etc. etc. However, today when we got to my cousin's place we had to change Cal after only being there for half an hour and we realized we had no diapers. Let me repeat: no diapers. What kind of lousy parents are we anyways? We could either go to the store or borrow one from my cousin whose daughter wears size 4 diapers. We decided to see how size 4 would work. We put it on as snug as we could, which meant there was quite a bit of excess diaper in the front. We couldn't stop laughing. Poor little Calvin just kept looking at us wondering what was so funny. Luckily we found some scissors, cut it down so the diaper didn't reach his chest anymore, and put some new clothes on him so you couldn't really tell. Let's hope we don't make that mistake again anytime soon.

Hahahahaha! He's so cute! Don't worry, once we went down to Brett's parents' house and we had water, formula, bottles, and no nipple. We had to make one out of a soothie pacifier. I almost cried.

After doing that multiple times I started keeping a few diapers and wipes in the car. But make sure that if you don't use the diapers that you exchange them for bigger ones when they go up a size. Its a great back up plan.

That makes me smile. I think you should have used duct tape though. That would have really made you bad parents. :o)
