Exploding Diaper

March 7, 2009

Dear boys,

     Had a great time with you guys today.  We showed up late around 2:30 as your dad and Nick were heading off to baseball tryouts so we jumped in the van and went for the ride.  You were so happy when you saw us out the window!  What SMILES you both gave us!  Talk about feeling like a million bucks.  When you get a feeling like that, you realize you don’t need a million bucks! Even though I save my pennies like such a miser sometimes! (and your dad, too.  Believe me!)

     So we went into the Silver Hill School to watch ick try out.  I let Dylan run through the halls for awhile.  He tried to rip the “C” off the SSC door (Student Support Center)  We left and went to Friendly’s.  Your dad treated us to take-out sundaes.  Mmmm….mmm!  So late on…I figured out how to entertain Dylan by putting him on a blanket and pulling him around on the floor.  He loved it!  We couldn’t get Noah to do it.  He was horrified and the mere mention of “OK, Noah’s turn!”  Noah is by far the cautious one.  I watched and compared you both at the Funhouse Place and saw how Dylan would face forward and step down to a lower level whereas Noah would judge the depth, then turn and slide down the step backwards.  He also would not walk across a gravel path at the MSPCA in Methuen.

     I changed Dylan’s diaper today and it was like wrestling a bloody alligator.  Noah’s diaper exploded and leaked stuffing all over the living room.  We didn’t know what the heck it was ans saw this white tapioca like substance all over the floor.  I picked Noah up to get him away from it and noticed some fell down from him.  Finally figure out it was the diaper!! What the heck are those things made of???
