The Long Road Ahead


Here is a picture of what remains of a package of newborn diapers that Sofi hijacked yesterday while we were setting up the nursery. (Okay, she officially did it while Lance was playing the Wii and I was at a church meeting. Just a sign to Lance what is to come when he leaves the baby unattended! Yet another reason I do not like video games.)
She tore up half of the diapers to bits, spreading them all over our backyard and then managed to strew the rest near our sprinkler system. This morning I discovered 40 destroyed and water logged diapers in the backyard when I went out to play fetch with her.
*Sigh.* She was kinda sad yesterday as we were setting up the nursery, putting together baby swings, etc. She knows something is coming to change her life and I am assuming this is why she took the diapers. She is acting out like any older sibling would. Any advice on how to prepare this little beagle for her baby sister to come home????

  1. You're overreacting. Your baby won't have the teeth or the hand strength to tear apart a box of diapers for many, many months.

    Play on, Lance.

  2. That is a funny sight! [well, funny and not so funny :-)]

    This reminds me of my dog. He throws a fit everytime I leave (even if it's for 1 minute) and since he's confined, if I forget and leave something where he is he tears it up telling me of his displeasure.

    He really is our 3rd baby. Wish I had advice. Good luck!
