Diapers

Buying diapers as a novice is one thing. Buying diapers with the advice of a seasoned pro sometimes yields the same results.

Last night on our way home we had to pick up some diapers and were advised to pick up size 6. Reading the box, I presumed that a 5 would be more appropriate, but alas, decided the person actually related to the kids would know what size would fit and so I picked up a box of 6s. This morning as I was putting the diaper onto one of the kiddos it was painfully obvious this was an accident waiting to happen… literally.

Then again, it is entirely possible that I’m just not putting them on right. Bigger diapers are a little trickier because they seem to have so much more room and don’t seem to fit as well as the smaller diapers. Alas, I’m sure they’ll work, I just don’t want them to leak all over. Perhaps it is time for some internet research or a few calls to parents to get to the bottom of this situation. Of course, the two and three year old boys we are watching should be potty trained or at least beginning the process, and we’re working on that with the help of cookies, which would alleviate the ill-fitting diaper dilemma.
