This week with Casey being out of town and kids not sleeping well I had some help from 2 very eager Grandmothers. Also had the help from 1 of my aunt's who came with my mom when she came to spend a few hours. Some things I have found kinda comical while seeing how they react to different things.
First funny was when my Mom and Aunt got here, my Aunt was VERY excited to hold the baby. She promptly asked me if she could get Willa out of her bouncer to "hold" her. I said she could, after struggling for a minute to get the baby out (I'm guessing she didn't realize there were 2 clips not just one) she finally got her out and took her to the couch...... Where she sat down and laid the baby on the couch next to her. Wait, I thought she wanted to HOLD her!
Funny 2. Grandma decides to change her diaper, after her being upstairs a few seconds I hear "oh now thats cool! A notch in the diaper for the umbilical cord!". Ok So I'm figuring those are new within the last 18yrs since my mom's last kid was born. I want to note here that recently we were given a big box of pictures and a few other items from Casey's mom. One picture the diaper looked huge, or not put on right or something and I was asking Casey about it. Shortly after in that same box was one of his old Diapers (un used of course) that explained why it looked so funky. I'll have to take pictures of it, pretty much just a rectangle no shape no way to form to a baby period thing. Shows how far disposable diapers have come.
Funny 3. Same diaper change I hear Grandma "Oh no don't do that!" Or something of that nature. Pretty much Willa was tooting and I think even pooping before Grandma got the new diaper on. This parts a little fuzzy I was pretty tired! LOL
Funny 4, one I just remembered although it happened over a year ago. Eli was just a infant then, I had met my mother someplace to go to dinner. We decided to take my car and I clipped Eli into the car and hopped in. For those that haven't had kids within the last I don't know how many years now the infant car seats now days have a "base" that you install in the car and leave it there. The car seat clips into the base making it simple to just put the car seat in and listen for the click, to take it out you just squeeze the little handle and lift. Well I guess those weren't around 18yrs ago either cause my mom was like "Don't you need to buckle him in??" I was like "I did!" She says "Huh?" I was like "Didn't you hear the click? The seat just clips into the base its that easy". She looks at me and then says "Oh cool!"
Funny 5, Grandma Steph comes over to play for a couple hours. Always comical when she comes over cause she gets down on the floor and really PLAYS with Eli. Anyway it was a little early to put Eli down for a nap so I tell her in about an hour or so he should be ready for a nap. He will normally go to the gate if you ask him if he's ready for a nap and he's tired he will almost RUN to his bed. I did tell her that after she actually PUTS him in bed he will fuss for a VERY short time but thats ok. So I take a nap, when I come down I notice Eli is still up and she tells me that she couldn't get him to take a nap. She says that when she put him in bed he fussed (it wasn't even really a fuss it was more a whine) so she picked him back up and brought him down thinking he wasn't ready.
Funny 6, Grandma Steph saying that in the 2hrs that I took a nap she had to change 3 dirty diapers! Wow thats a lot of dirty diapers in her mind! I told her I normally change about 10 a day! Willa is a STINKER!
Final funny (that I can remember right now) Is seeing the results of both Grandma's diaper changes. I don't know if Willa just seems to small for them or what but both times I changed Willa after they had the diaper was barely on! We'll blame it on the tabs though for their sake. ;)
