Hello Lexington FAMILY Magazine readers!
Picture it: you're on your way out the door, and you hear "Honey, you might want to come see this." You see your husband standing in the living room, taking off his top shirt and wonder exactly what's going on. You're late and need to get on the road. You walk into the next room, only to see your child playing in their exersaucer, happy as can be. You're confused, what's the problem? Your husband points and says "look down." You bend over and there, you see it: liquid poo, running down her legs, while she tap dances in the puddle at her feet. You look at the baby's face and she smiles, laughs joyfully, and waves her favorite little lamb in the air and continues on without a care in the world.
Well ladies and gentleman, that was my morning just the other day! I ended up holding MRP in the air, (Brian calls this "the no-roll zone!") while he stripped her down and basically gave her a bath with wipes and wrangled a new outfit onto her. (Boy that child loves to be nakey!) As we finished our much appreciated teamwork, we realized we had just missed a "Kodak Moment!" We should've totally taken a picture of that--surely that would've been worth some money in some sort of contest right?
SO, my question to you is: what's the best diaper disaster story you've experienced with your child? I want to know! Were you out somewhere without a napkin to your name? Did your child "go" on someone? Is there a theme park involved? Did you buy the wrong size? Was there a bath afterwards (for you?) It doesn't matter how old your children are now; I'm looking to hear the BEST story you've got! Details count!
The winner will win a family-friendly package of books, games, and tickets to the Lexington Children's Theatre!

(If for some odd reason you feel uncomfortable doing this, please feel free to send your contact information to my email with the first sentence of your story as a reminder of which one is yours---Karyn@lexingtonfamily.com)
I look forward to reading your replies!
Until next time, who's on diaper duty?

Well, our first night home from the hospital, I was getting some much needed sleep and apparently my husband got up with Nathan and decided that he needed a diaper change. He was into the diaper change...I was sleeping very deeply, but soon was wide awake when I heard my husband screaming. I, a new mother, was terrified. What was going on? I heard my husband say a couple of not-so-pleasant things. I asked what was going on and he said that Nathan had peed in mid-diaper change (not a big deal-has happened before), but this time the bull's eye was my husband's EYE.
Oh I've got one. My little one was squirming in her highchair one day which meant she had a diaper full of something. Went to open up her stinky diaper and found a pile of poo with a little red plastic Po figurine (the red Teletubby) staring up at me out of the poo. She had obviously tucked him in her diaper for safekeeping.
This is a moment I'm sure many moms have had....your out (for me I was at the mall!) and you realize its time for a diaper change...so remove the dirty diaper, clean up your baby (for me I had to remove the very dirty onesie and pants!) and THEN realize you are out of diapers!!!!
HELP! I started a search for moms with diaper bags.....
