Good friends of mine would like a reprieve so they can have their anniversary dinner. I’ve been a camp counsellor and was pretty good at it but those kids were all 6 years old, this one is 13 months old. Adorable kid but I figure maybe some folks here might have good ideas/thoughts/suggestions/crass jokes?

    Not sure if you’re male or female, but just in case you’re male: when you change the little one’s diaper, make sure you only wipe front to back! My husband has never changed a diaper before (though he had lot of experience with kids) and now that we’re expecting a girl I was surprised to learn from other moms he wouldn’t know this without someone saying it explicitly. If she has a diaper with poop, start swiping to clean under her belly button and only ever go towards her bottom, always cleaning downwards! You can give her an infection if you raise her legs and swipe towards her front! Better to go through many wipes to get all of her completely clean from front to back.

      Good advice, definitely important! I babysat her when she was even younger so have learned about the front to back but always good to have a reminder!
