This story is dedicated to all the mothers who find themselves rolling with the punches.
I decided to change Kaden’s diaper on the airport sofa. Lane & Lili, my little helpers, were standing by watching the process. Assuming Kaden had accomplished his primary goal, I handed the diaper to Lili, 3, who dashed off to the garbage yelling, “Ewwww,” the entire way there.
Lane, 5, fished for the necessary wipe as the 3 month old released his hose in a mighty gush. A timely stream arched perfectly in the air and puddled precisely in my lap. Lane’s expression turned grave as he realized Kaden was obviously unaware of grandma’s potty rules.
In the meantime, two pilots were headed toward the terminal for service, so I hurriedly diaper Kaden, and stood to relocate. With urine running down my legs, (No, it wasn’t mine.) I found a better place to hide my soggy lap from the customers. The men then discussed at length were should they eat. There are only three choices in this tiny town — pick one!
Warning: Some carriers come with leaking hoses!

So glad diaper days are over for me!
Hello, Cathy. I always think I’m done too, then another grandchild makes his way into the world!

Thank you, Paulette. I appreciate the encouragement!

Hmmmm so good to be a Granny Dei but there is a blessing in everything my friend, just take a minute to think back to when you were a Mum, how many diapers did you change in a week compared to now
On a lighter note, I have not stopped laughing, I keep getting these flashes of Lili, 3, dashing off to the garbage yelling, “Ewwww,” the entire way there…Sooooooo funny, I think I would have yelled Yukkkkkkkk and even more kkkkkkkkkkk.
Thanks for sharing Dei, I now have something more to give thanks for but to be honest, I think I would rather have a 100 dirty diapers and a childs hug than no diapers and miss out on the Joy of all the Love a child gives.
Christian Love and hugs your friend Annie.
Thank you, Annie. Grandchildren are a blessing even when things do go a tad awry!
God Bless You!
Oh no he didn’t! haha! God bless you, Lady D! You are noble and kind and oh so brave in the face of leaky hoses!
Hello, Debbie. I may buy a rain suite for the next encounter!

Dei, I can just picture this, and am still laughing. With a new, tiny granddaughter (born Jan. 14), we are getting back into the diapers and bottles and things – the next youngest is her brother who will be 9 in July. I didn’t realize how much I missed having a tiny baby to care for until a week or so ago when I sat rocking her to sleep. Peace filled me to overflowing as I sat looking down at her as she slept. Enjoy those grandbabies while you can – they’ll be grown before you know it.
I agree, Dru. They are so sweet when they’re sleeping. My eldest grandchild is seven and it seems like yesterday when he was a tot.
Thanks for the visit and God Bless You!
