You have the best Aunt in the World. We went down to the beach at the campground. It was a decent walk away from our site. Since you've been in pull ups and you learned quickly how to potty in the great outdoors I didn't bother to take a diaper bag. What were the odds that you would poop? Well, pretty good apparently. Poop you did. We had only been to the beach for a few minutes. We were ate a crossroad. I knew you were super excited to be at the beach. You practically ran down the path and were ripping your shoes off far before it was time. If I were to walk you back to camp you would completely melt down. However, I couldn't let you play knowing that you needed a new pull up.
That's when Aunt Diane said, "Wipe as much as you can with the diaper and I'll rinse her off in the river." Now, I would like to say that this is something I thought of, or at least would have been willing to do, but I was very relieved that I did not have the appropriate footwear to be walking into the river to clean a babies butt. Aunt Diane was wearing flip flops so I took her up on the offer.
I wiped as good as I could, but it was a pretty full diaper. Aunt Diane carefully picked you up by the armpits and carried you a good arms length away all the way to the river. She then began dipping you and letting you sway back and forth in the water.
We all thought you would scream because the water was so very cold, but you giggled with glee. At that moment Aunt Diane was not only the best Aunt in the world, she was also your very best friend. And mine too, because it was one less butt I had to clean that day.
You owe Aunt Diane a pretty big thank you hug next time you see here. It probably wouldn't hurt if we got her a Starbucks too!
Love You Kiddo,
Mommy
