Day-in-the-life: Diapers

Over the last several weeks, we've received lots of questions about how various things work with me in my cast. I've asked Dad to put together a couple posts to show you how things have worked lately.

Today's topic: Diapers.

 Welcome to my changing table!

After getting cleaned up, the first step is to tuck a smaller diaper (size 3) under my cast in the front. It's nice that the doctors cut a stomach hole in the cast, because my diaper changer can grab the top of the diaper through that hole (see Mom's left hand in the above photo). 

Then I get flipped over! This is perhaps my favorite part lately because I love to try to pull myself around. The diaper now gets tucked under the cast by my butt. With me on my stomach, there's plenty of clearance for fingers to tuck the diaper.

 Reaching for anything to play with. I love to open the box of wipes and pull them out. But my favorite is when Mom or Dad asks Keillor to stand next to the changing table and I get to pet him!

The last step is to get flipped on my back again and a larger diaper (size 5) gets wrapped around my cast and holds the smaller diaper in place. The larger diaper doesn't get dirty, but we change it every day or so because the tabs eventually break off!
