...and we're back. In the last few days the boys have embarked upon a competition of 'who can poop the most at one time'. The competition consists of storing up the material for 12-20 hours, and then releasing it all at once in a single event that can only be described as flood-like. We refer to changing a diaper (sometimes also suit, changing table cover, and someone's shirt) after such an event as "clean-up" and everything around the ... geyser as "disaster area". We are getting better at this. We manage mega-poops with a few diapers, uncounted wipes, and a smile. So far Zev is slightly ahead, but I am sure they aspire to greater and greater achievements. Let it never be said that the teenage boys have the greatest affinity for jokes involving bodily fluids. New parents (and grandparents) laugh way more about poop, spit, and urine, hands down.
In other news - both of the boys weighed in at over 6lb today, and we are cleared to let them sleep at night until they wake up hungry, rather than wake them (and whoever is pulling night duty) every three hours. We all look forward to reducing the number of night feedings, even at the cost of feeding more frequently during the day.
Congratulations! Sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun. Enjoy your time with the boys-they grow up so fast.
ReplyDeleteWe would call these Diaper Filling Events, and would rate them on an open ended logarithmic scale.
ReplyDeletenice. we haven't assigned a precise numeric system yet. So far we have micropoop, minipoop, poop, megapoop, and FLOOD. for example, today Benjamin had a solid megapoop after nearly a day of storing up, followed by a FLOOD.
