Tomorrow, after work, I'm driving to Indiana to take care of four kids. Ages: 7, the twins are 4 or 5, and 1. I was going anyway, to help those friends, you know, the ones I've spent Christmas with the last 11 years. But tonight S called and he was taking J to the hospital, so I'm just gonna take over from the babysitter when I get there tomorrow night.
I may get to change a diaper for the first time.
And my new/used iBook from ebay should show up there if I can ever get this guy to calculate the shipping charge so I can go ahead and pay!

Posted by: John at December 9, 2003 11:29 PMThe trick to changing diapers is:
Have all you need before you undress the baby. Unfold the clean diaper. Have the butt cream ready. Have the wipes ready and even 'prime' the top one. That way you can get the baby canged and dressed fast, which is hard if you've got a squirmer.
Also, do it fast. The smell goes away faster then.
