A Fashionista Moves in to the Reckess House
Earlier last month the NY Times profiled Donatella Versace's bubblegum pink luggage, and in the profile the reporter revealed that Donatella changes her outfit at least twice a day: one outfit for the day, one outfit for night.
While that seems a bit extravagant to me, and I tend to ridicule couture culture, Owen is a big fan. He wears up to 6 outfits per day - a whole week's worth of clothing in a twenty-four hour period. Who wants to wear one set of pajamas, when you can wear four? He decides that he is done with one outfit, proceeds to poop or pee through it, and ta-da! A new outfit is forthcoming!
Dave and I have tried to cut back on Owen's fashionista habits by tightening his diaper, trying a new size, rotating him like a hotdog on a skewer, etc., all to no effect. Owen's poo and pee defies gravity (how do you wet the upper half of your body but leave the diaper completely unwet? We'll have to ask Bill Nye, the Science Guy, for his advice!). Until then, we're receiving a great workout walking the two flights of stairs to the basement washer and dryer... and most beneficial - Owen is able to wear a lot of his clothes before he grows out of them. Money well spent!

but the real question is: have you been peed on while changing him into a new diaper/outfit yet?
try pointing it down before tightening the diaper
hopefully he'll then pee down
and not into his undershirt
