Whatever Works

Diapers, sunscreen, and clothes are what I dread. Every single time I have to put a diaper on Parker, apply sunscreen, or get her dressed/undressed the waterworks and screams come out in full force. It’s absolutely miserable. My method of defense is to give Parker random, new things—like medicine boxes, koosies, necklaces—if Parker hasn’t touched it before it will typically interest her long enough for me to get the job at hand done before she has a chance to realize what happened. The tricky thing is that usually the new “toy” only works once. If I try it out the second time around, Parker realizes my trick! It’s sort of difficult to keep finding unique, baby safe things for Parker!

This day, the water bottle was my best friend.





Lord knows what will it be tomorrow!
