I've been waiting to write this little entry for a while now but somehow there's never enough time. Lucky for me, Jackson decided he'd like to stay up late tonight so I've got a few minutes.
I have so much to share about how things went with Jackson's birth and our first days home (pretty much none of it was how I'd imagined), but for now I just want to say that boys are different in so many ways! I grew up in a family dominated by women and have had very little exposure to little boys. Especially infants. Jordan's family, on the other hand, is full of em! They kept warning me about a special talent of little boys in diapers...peeing all over the place as soon as you remove their diaper. It's not that I didn't believe them, I just didn't quite grasp the idea. The first time Jack's fountain performance debuted, I happened to have my hand in a lucky spot, and was able to shield the stream. Even though I'd been warned, I caught myself thinking, "what?! what is going on?! Where is all of this liquid coming from?! Oh yea...it's pee." The second time Jack was a little more crafty and waited until I thought I was in the clear to begin spraying everywhere. And I mean everywhere. He got pee several feet behind him, off the changing table, onto the wall and carpet. Not to mention all over his own face! It still took me several seconds to process what was happening. I mean...you just don't expect urine to fill the air at any given moment.
So yea...boys are different.
Poor thing! As much as I understand, it was a little funny to read. :) Boys are different. I'm so used to boys; I honestly don't know what I'd do if we had another girl in this house. Boys dominate everything in our household. I'm glad you are doing well. I hope Jackson is starting to sleep more in the night for you. You will need your rest! Boys have so much energy, even as babies. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly, my niece would do the same thing! Whitney thought it was because the cold air hit her and made her muscles relax. Her remedy: have the new diaper opened and ready to go... as soon as you take off the old one, slip the new one over. That way, even if the little one starts an encore presentation, you've got it blocked by a clean diaper!
