The Diaper Game

As you can tell from the pictures Audra is a lot younger in them - obviously I wrote this a while ago and I'm just now posting it. Forgive me for having a spare post to pull out when I haven't had two seconds to sit down and write. Crawling baby = no down time.

A few years back I went to a baby shower where they played what was called "The 2am Diaper Game". This is where diapers were passed out and attendees wrote messages on them in sharpie. These would serve to provide a smile or a laugh to the mom who was changing said diaper in the wee hours of the morning. I knew that I wanted this game played at my shower when I had a baby because 1. It's just a fun game that isn't very common at baby showers and
2. I'll use the diapers so why not have fun notes on them?

Well after my shower I admit I read all the diapers but then I put them into storage. They were a size two diaper and I had no idea I wouldn't use them until after Audra was sleeping through the night. But it worked out better this way. I was able to read each diaper as I put it on her and I even took pictures of some of my favorites. If the one you wrote is not pictured it doesn't mean I didn't find it special. It means that I didn't have my phone handy at every diaper change to take pictures of them all. I loved all of them, these are just the ones I was able to capture on film. Wait people don't say that anymore do they? OK, capture on SD card. Doesn't have quite the eloquent feel to it but such is life. Enjoy

You're the best mom ever!

Use only ONCE

Warm hugs, soft kisses, unconditional love

Open Slowly!

You got this mommy

This is a BIG ONE! (it really was!)

My dear friend wrote in Thai on one of the diapers. 

"Meh Meh, means stinky in Thai. Sounds like Men"

This WAS one of her stinkiest diapers to date

 

The outside is prettier than the inside (by far the prettiest diaper from the shower)

Your s'wonderful and s'marvelous (from my same friend who wrote the Thai diaper)

Other diapers that I came across but didn't snap a photo of included baby wanting a guitar and a pony when she grew out of said diaper and the always true and helpful "This too will pass". And I think there was not one but two diapers claiming "isn't it daddy's turn?". True as it may be but daddy has yet to change a poopy diaper. Lucky me. #earningthosemothersdaycards

 So for anyone having a baby shower ever, I encourage you to do this game. It's fun for guests and fun for momma! I can't wait to do this game at a shower some time in the future I have so many good ideas now for what to write!

P.S I would like to give a shout out to the people at the Safety First company for making these bibs. And bless the person who bought them for me.

I highly highly recommend them! They are big enough to cover baby's whole front and they're easily washable, just dunk in your dish water as your washing dishes! One morning Audra was eating her chicken and mixed veggies 'lil' bits from Gerber and some of those carrot pieces are too big for her. It can take her a while to gag one down but she's getting better. Well this morning she gagged on one for a while. I went to get a paper towel to clean her face and when I came back she not only spit up the bite she just ate but the milk she had for breakfast 2 hours before hand. Her bib was COVERED and the pocket was holding it all! I was so glad I chose that bib today otherwise her dress and high chair would of been drenched and she would have been headed for a bath. I am half tempted to put all other bibs in storage. *reading this now I realized I only use these Safety First bibs. The other ones I keep in the diaper bag for on-the-go meals but I don't use them at home anymore.* This Safety First bib was a life and dress saver that day! If you're pregnant or you have a baby who is not yet eating solids but will eventually, get yourself one or two or three of these bibs! You won't be sorry!

Thanks for reading. P.P.S. size two diapers for.ev.er.
