Our daughter has been able to dress herself (more or less) for some time now, and any help we provide is minimal. She’s only in pull-ups at night, and I suspect that’ll go soon as well. It’s been a while since we’ve had to change a poopy diaper, and even longer since Laura would fight or scream while being changed.

Ah, welcome back to newborns…

Getting back into the habit of newborn maintenance is a lot tougher than I thought. Diapers are a bit trickier, especially as he’s a boy and you need to be a bit more careful to avoid being peed on in mid-change. Changing is also a challenge, as he’ll struggle and I’m trying to remember how to get his clothes over his head. And then there’s holding him properly while supporting his head, keeping his head up while he’s laying on your lap, making sure you don’t bleach his socks, and on and on and on…

It’s coming back, but wow… I forgot how hard this is!

Still totally worth it when he’s sleeping on my lap though.
