So today has been a very, very hard day, and the boys have been about as disagreeable as they ever can be (and totally off schedule), but we ended on an up note.  This morning we dressed Dexter in a tie-dyed onesie for Laura’s benefit.  He wore a sweatshirt over the shirt most of the day, but then came the final diaper change of the night.  Dexter was a little bit ripe (i.e. poopy), so I volunteered Katie to change him.  It was something of a difficult diaper to clean up, and we ended up taking him to the kitchen sink, still wearing his onesie but sans pants or socks.  He hates that, but it’s better than a diaper rash from trying to clean his bum with steel wool or sandpaper.

Just as we were about done, suddenly Dexter contributed to the water flow into the sink in his own way.  It’s kind of hard not to chuckle as your son proudly urinates into the kitchen sink.  Katie handed him over to me afterward because Nic was pulling at her leg and only has eyes for Mommy tonight.  I got halfway back to the changing table and decided, “what the heck, he’s already peed.”  So I dropped him onto the floor and said, “run FREE, DexSTAR!”  And run he did.  He was running around with just his onesie on, hiked halfway up his chest (resting on top of his ample belly).  He started running laps around the house, squealing with delight, and flopping in the breeze.  Nicholas tore free of Katie and ran after him, laughing too.  15 minutes of nearly-naked hillarity ensued.  Nic kept trying to catch Dexter, I think to touch the big blue dot on the center of his shirt, but it made it all the more amusing.  I’m sorry for the lack of photos or videos, but we’ve worked to hard to keep these boys alive to invite a call to child protective services with naked baby pictures.

So we decided Dexter was our very clean little hippy, running around in his tie-dyed shirt and nothing else.  That one was for you, Laura.  But if he had peed, we’d have drafted you back into service, expired contract notwithstanding.
