Daddy had a nice birthday. We woke up to find that the uncles had made sure that everyone in the neighborhood knew it was his birthday. Any day that starts off with balloons is going to be a good day.
I made one of Rob’s favorite breakfasts – cheesy egg scramble and popovers, and we had family breakfast while we looked at cards and some presents, played with noise makers, and very briefly wore funny hats.
We also talked about what a teeny tiny little man B was last year at this time.
I had planned a date night at Picco for Rob. Uncle Darin was out of town, but Uncle Brian came over to babysit for a couple of hours. B was delighted so see him – he ran over to give hugs, and then grabbed Brian’s finger to lead him over to the door so they could play outside. Rob and I did a horrible job preparing for the babysitter. We left dinner for Brendan, but not Brian – and we didn’t even tell him where the diapers were. But we traded a few texts/pictures during dinner so we knew all was going well.
On our way out of the restaurant, we texted to say we were on our way home. A little while later, I got this text:
“Oh lord. When did you send that? Lol. If he hands me the mat by the diapers, is that a sign?”
Rob and I had no idea if it was a sign. Brendan has never brought us the diaper mat. Ever. He doesn’t particularly like to have his diaper changed. Then a few minutes later we got this text:
“Oh lord. He handed me a diaper. Drive faster!”
Meanwhile Darin was texting from out of town telling Brian he better buck up and handle it. (Darin typically changes the diapers, while Brian is the one to let Brendan play in the toilet)

When we got home, Brendan was running around without any pants on. Turns out Uncle Brian had never changed a diaper before. But now he can proudly say that he has not only changed a diaper – but a poopy diaper. And he did an awesome job. Even if he did use an entire box of wipes.
So what did we learn?
– leave some diapers for the babysitter
– ask if he knows how (and when) to use them
– our son is a genius and will help the babysitter out
– leave dinner for the babysitter – he’ll need fuel
– we are so lucky to have two awesome uncles next door who are up for anything.
Thanks Uncle Brian. Now that you’re all practiced up, we’ll just pass Brendan over the fence next time he needs a diaper.
As we were putting dates on B’s lunch for today, Daddy sadly wrote “10/9”. Another birthday over. But don’t worry Daddy I still have a few surprises up my sleeve…
