Lately since Suhaana has turned into this super squirmy baby, it's been impossible to pin her down. This is especially true in the icky tricky trying times of diaper changes. So, I've devised a new strategy. I have divided diaper changes into two separate activities, ideal for the short be-still timespan of babies.
The first phase: pin baby down, get the old diaper off, clean baby.
Second phase: pin baby down, get new diaper on baby.
Between the two stages, dispose dirty diaper, wash hands etcetera.
This also means that in the time between the two phases that's like those folds between the time-space continuum, we have a bottom-nude diaper less baby running around(crawling around) at home. (Actually one other reason for doing it this way is so that the bottom has time to dry off - before being wrapped up again - but that may be way too much information).
The other day, I'd just completed phase 1. Washed my hands, when I saw this baby running towards me. And not far behind I saw some drops on the tiles, joining and becoming strings of liquid ultimately leading me to a small little puddle sitting discretely between the living room and foyer.
When I look at this girl with laughing eyes and asked her how the puddle came to be, she giggled like I had just become privy to a funny little secret and scuttled in the opposite direction - too much to explore not enough time.
Meanwhile, mama's gotta take care of puddle.
