off with the diaper...

nina has a shirt that says "pacificist". this truly should belong to max. he always desires peace. if chris and i raise our voices ever so slightly...he tries to make us laugh. he does not handle it well during time-out when someone is upset with him...and always after he bites he follows it up with a kiss.

so having him show some rebellion with this new act of diaper removal if he doesn't have shorts/pants on, is surprising. we've been lucky so far. no accidents without the diapers. however tonite, i went to check on him in his crib...his diaper was off. **it's surprisingly warm in pgh (tomorrow is supposed to be 86--is there a degrees circle on the keyboard??) so we have the air on but his room is always a little warm. so without thinking....no pants. we've been terribly sick all week...i can't stop coughing (people look at me like i have TB) so mind is not in the game.**anyways, his bed was soaked. i just bought some new sheets for his crib yesterday but they aren't washed yet and this was his last sheet. i removed him from his bed and placed him in our bed. he was still asleep. chris went in to lay with him--i was struggling with a shrunken sheet and asked for help. chris left max to aid in my struggle and max followed in right behind him. he looked so sweet and sleepy eyed and warm. after 50 kisses, he went back to sleep very easily and we are crawling into bed at 1130. yikes!! i love this age!!

Oh dear, sounds like a mess. When my sister babysat for my twin cousins they used to have to put tape on around their diapers so they couldn't take them off. I think they eventually figured out how to take that off to. Kids are so funny!

Elijah always takes his diaper off if I don't cover it - after changing his whole bed a few times I learned to make sure he always has a onsie on. (he takes his pants off too!)

where are these kids getting this strong desire to take their pants off? *wink wink*
i am sorry you've been sick--we've all been hacking up a lung here too but i think it's just allergies.

how sweet that max deals with your upset by making you laugh.
