Asserting her individuality
February 13, 2008
Ellerie has wasted no time setting herself apart from her sister. Mia was a really clean newborn as far as these things go. I never bothered to carry a spare set of clothes for her because I never needed them. She didn't spit up, and rarely had an explosive diaper while she was wearing cloth. As it turns out, Ellerie is exactly the opposite. It seems that every time I change her she pees on me and the new diaper as I am trying to get it on, usually resulting in a change of clothes for her, myself and a third diaper. But today she stepped it up a notch. As I'm changing her on my lap in the car, she starts peeing all over the place, I manage to catch most of it in the used diaper, but after she's done I try to switch it out for a new clean one as fast as possible... but not fast enough as she decided to start pooping all over the place between diapers! Now it's on me, on her clothes, on the new diaper, and the blanket. And do I have a spare set of clothes for her or me? Nope. I'm also practically out of diapers for the day although it's only 11 am. And did I mention that she tried to repeat this whole scene again a couple hours later? She's impossible to change! Ah well, this is the price I pay for having a baby who actually sleeps on occasion.
