Thank god, no more crime scene in the diaper!

Let me get this out in the open... I don't mind changing diapers. Never had, but what has changed in the last month has been the ease of the whole transaction. Once solids foods were introduced, my life has become a lot easier. Once was a liquid is now a solid. Tomato soup has magically turned into Yorkshire Terrior like pellets. Nice. Easy. Smooth Sailing.

What I don't miss is infant poop. The yellow/green/brown crime scene spatter that got everywhere and the 8 wipes used to ensure proper clean-up of all the areas, including thighs, and stomach (sometimes) was always a real drag to realize once the diaper was opened and the prize revealed.

I can't tell you how many white onsies have been ruined before solid foods were introduced. I would come and pick up Gus at the Day Care, always wondering if his change of clothes would be on, and the soiled layers of clothing would be placed in a Giant Eagle bag. Most of the time the stain was so old and caked in I just would throw away the onsie. Yes, I'm a wasteful American. But you tell me, would you like to get out the OxyBaby and work on a smelly stain that's 8 hours old when you come home from working 8 hours? I think not. Plus, I only stole about 8 pairs of latex gloves from the doctor's office and have long since used them up.

Ever wonder why hand-me downs are never white onsies? I'm a firm believer that there are more soiled white onsies in the landfill than diapers.

I'm fine with this stage. Gus, keep eating stage one and two foods for awahile. I am liking not seeing specific foods for now in the diaper. Thanks kiddo!
