I talk about my son's bottom!

My son has a neon-red ring around his hmm-hmm (imagine the kind of traffic I would get, were I to use the anatomical name for it). I blame this on some spicy sweet-potato puree that he enjoyed very much when it was going in, but needless to say, probably now has mixed feelings about.

There’s nothing sadder than a naked toddler pointing to his butt and announcing, “hurt.” Although I’m sure he was echoing my endless “Does it hurt? Poor baby, that looks like it hurts; does it hurt? Hurt? Does it? Hurt hurt hurt?” I’m sure if I asked him if he had giraffes up in there, he’d nod, point, and say “giraffe” and then I’d have to sue the Prospect Park Zoo for sneaking into Henry’s bedroom in the middle of the night and shoving giraffes up his ass.

Huzzah!

You are so funny. That's it, really, that's all I wanted to say. Your blog makes me laugh out loud. If you can make a woman laugh who hasn't had more than four hours sleep at a stretch in 14 months, a woman who just got through an hour-long crying fit from Mr. Dontwannanap, a woman with baby-sized teethmarks in her cheek, yeah, if you can make me laugh right now you're pretty damn funny.

Also, Burt's Bees diaper creme smells wonderful. There's something to be said about a fragrant baby's bottom... that is, if it's fragrant in a good way.

This reminds me of my neice, who proudly proclaimed that her hmm-mmm smelled "real good." She then demonstrated her technique of putting her hand down the back of her diaper, mashing it all around and then shoving her nose in it while giggling.... reportedly happier than she had been in a long time.

Man! I just can't wait until this starts to happen over at my house!

You know what else? Weleda diaper cream smells just like Juicy Fruit gum.

Or you could say that Juicy Fruit gum smells just like Weleda diaper cream.
