Mr. Mom's Funny Story

This story may come at no surprise to some parents out there, but it was a definite first for our family. Enjoy and maybe you will get a laugh or two out of it.

Friday, I was blessed again with the privledge to contract fly for the bank. J had the day off and was thrilled to be Mr. Mom for the day and spend some time with his son! I was off to work by 5:00am that morning and little man slept in till about 6:45am. Getting up, J did the morning ritual of changing and dressing little J. However, it did not dawn on him when he couldn't find any diaper (other than one in the diaper bag) that we were completely out of diapers in the house! I knew this little, but important piece of information, however, I failed to mention it to J before leaving. Oops! So, about 3 hours later, when little J needed a clean diaper, low and behold the realization hit. (This by the way, was after J had removed and thrown away the diaper that our son had on.)

J, knowing that a diaper run was needed, decided to reclothe our son (with only sweat pants on his bottom) and proceed to the store for a package of these necessities.

Upon arriving at the store, it suddenly dawns on J that if our son decides to revieve himself, not only would his clothes get wet, but also the car seat that he is currently sitting in would succumb to this wetness. To his relief, he finds a swaddling blanket in the car and decides to assemble a makeshift loincloth for our son to put on under his pants. Now, I asked for pictures of this contraption, but I was disapointed to find that none were taken of the final product. Sorry everyone! I do know that it was quit the sight!

Now, after possession of the diapers, J proceeded home where he finally disassembled his makeshift cloth-diaper from our son and securely fastened a new dry diaper to his bottom. Not two minutes later, J was informed by a wonderful smell that our son had filled this new diaper and that not only was it filled, but filled to the brim. All I can say is that our son really loves his daddy!!! This event will be a fun memory for many years to come.
