A Redneck Diaper



It is amazing how resourceful a parent can be in a pinch. On Saturday, I realized we were going to need to get diapers on Monday. I had two diapers left on Monday morning, so my estimations were right. I sent Brendan to the store to pick up a pack (he couldn't go on Sunday because everything is closed on Sundays). Well, Brendan came home with a very worried expression on his face. Everything was still closed!! Apparently, Monday was Man Day in Germany, which is a work holiday here.


So, this is when it gets interesting. We pulled out a burp cloth, a maxi pad, some tape and pre-wrap. It actually worked for awhile! Sadly, after Nathan woke up from his nap he was soaked, but by then I found two Size 2 diapers that I had left over (keep in mind, Nathan is a Size 4 now). I put him in those and they actually worked!! It was interesting, to say the least!
