The Story Of The Weekend

Aunt Kaitlin I have no signal here.


There are times when being a parent provides far more comic relief than I ever thought possible and Saturday night was one of those times.

Saturday afternoon was gorgeous and our little family went out to a local park where Evie Lu had a great time. There was a little kid slide and a big kid slide and she spent an hour running from slide to slide, laughing the whole way. When we got home Evangeline was warm and after a diaper change I decided pants were unnecessary for the rest of the night.

Dinner was pizza and Evie Lu went without a bib since a bath was looming large in her future. Evangeline got pizza everywhere and so her shirt came of next. After dinner was done we had about twenty minutes until bath time. Our diaper only wearing baby was playing and going between talking to me as I washed dishes and Kaia as she worked on her general exam. Evie Lu walked up to me with her pizza stained shirt and I asked her, "Evie can you take your shirt and put it in your hamper?" Evie Lu toddled off.

Then there was silence. I swear it wasn't more than a couple of minutes, but when I realized I didn't hear Evie Lu anymore I called out to her and walked toward her room. At that moment Kaia called out to me from her office, "Will, did you take Evie's diaper off?" I looked into to the office to see our little girl stark naked standing next to Kaia. After we stopped laughing we realized there was a missing diaper to be found. Kaia asked Evie where she put the diaper and Evie took us into her bedroom and pointed to the diaper pail.

Evangeline had taken her diaper off and placed it where diapers should go. I was impressed and realized at that moment pants were a necessity in our house now.
