In the past 24 hours I have changed 19 diapers. Twelve of those have involved the proverbial “Number Two.” If I wasn’t there when these two were feeding, I would be asking them, “What are they feeding you” It’s funny how quickly you can become an expert in something you’ve never done if you just keep doing it. In the past week I’d like to think I’ve grown pretty savvy in the diaper disposal and tushy sanitation department. The volume alone of diapers changed would be an indicator of my experience. In the past 3.5 days I have gone through 95 baby wipes and almost two packages of diapers. This, I’ve decided is what parenting is all about – bragging about mundane things every parent does.

But there are casualties to my constant changing of diapers and that is my hands. My hands are becoming chapped from all of the hand washing I’ve been doing. I mean, I wash them after every diaper change, every time I use the restroom, before I “finger feed” the kids, after changing the kitty litter, I could go on. I have considered using the hand sanitizer gel but I don’t like the way that feels on my hands either. I’m not a big hand lotion person – especially since I’ll have to put my fingers in the kid’s mouths. Anyone got a suggestion for this one
