It's Way More Than a Diaper - Deal with This

Ever been around a whiney baby, just won't quit that whiney mess? Aggravatin' sometimes isn't it. Wouldn't you rather have peace and quiet? On the other hand, ever been chapped? Sure...probably on the lips, now imagine your whole buttocks feeling like that...yuck, huh? Bad news isn't it. And easily cured ...here is how we dealt with it:

1) Hear the baby cry - not hungry, no heat comin' off it...hmm, must be...diaper time?
2) Pick up baby (gently) to see if evidence of a movement has taken place?
3) Use the nose, not the finger - it saves on "YUUUCCKKK..." or other expressions.
4) Evidence present...now the changing begins...
--------And here is where the experienced diaper mechanic displays his trade! ------
5) Removing -carefully- the evidence of the movement's inception...carefully lift babies bottom and clean with wipes.
6) And now for the big moment...reaching across the baby...before we bind up the new diaper...apply...powder to the tike's bottom...

Now you're cookin'! It just ain' that hard, but if you forget the powder, the wunderkind (kid in German) will shortly remind you that pee is just as damaging to ones delicate membrane as ...the other stuff...what some have observed as the stuff of life!

Looking down at baby you realize, if my lips were chapped that bad, I'd scream my head off too! Then it dawns on you, how similar a screaming baby is to those people you see on CNN in that big round room in D.C. ...where they rarely are? Hmm, how they look like they'd like to be cryin' but can't, when you see them? Life must be fair for them, huh? Maybe they are as broke as you. Don't think so? Well then maybe, they are as uptight about bills as you have to be to keep eatin' on your budget, hmm, you don't think so. Well then ...shucks...is it their diapers? Oh wow...let's hope not.

Then you see the news...and there she is - Rosie O'what's-er-name, and she really looks so much like the baby just looked, same facial expressions, same gestures...how cool...you have to ask yourself...is it ....naw it couldn't be, could it?
