Parenting Chronicles - Code Brown... First Attempt

We've all been wondering when the day would come for David to change his first diaper, and apparently today was the day. He's always told me that poopy diapers were going to be an issue as David has a terrible gag reflex. He always joked that the only way he'd be able to do it was with a gas mask. However, following my nap and his 2 hour stint with Daddy duty, this daddy decided it was time to attempt to change some doody. He handed me the cameras and we ventured up to the bedroom. Even once he confirmed that it was in fact a dirty diaper and not just gas, he still ventured forward with utmost confidence, never once asking for relief from me. Addison cooperated as well as she could, waiting to fuss until the very end even though she does not care at all for changing times. And now I share with you his trophy picture signifying the completion of Daddy's first-ever poopy diaper change.


Addison's onesie reads "Daddy loves me" and that certainly must be the case for him to be able to do what he did. (By the way, if you've been following my "point system" that got started en route to NY, true to my word, I did reward David with his 500 points for this poopy diaper!) Way to go, Daddy! We're so proud of you!
