Surpassed

Some diaper background - Ben is in a size 4 diaper night and day. He's never had any problems with his diapers leaking or being too small. On the contrary, the 4's still look a little big on him - they go way up his belly and his back. We only just moved him into 4's a few months ago. Logan is in a size 3 diaper during the day and a 4 at night. The size 3’s are really too small on him, so we’re just trying to use up the 3’s from the last package we bought. We started putting him in 4’s at night a few weeks ago because he kept waking up with pee-soaked PJ’s – because Logan loves sleeping on his stomach at night, the pee all goes to the front… and at a certain point the darn diaper just won’t soak up anymore pee, so it leaks. It’s actually quite funny – in the morning his diaper is completely sodden and waterlogged and heavy in the front, but the back is bone dry, just how it came out of the package.

Anyway, a few times in the past week, Logan's 4’s have leaked at night. So yesterday I did something I have never done in my two years of being a mommy – I bought a size 5 pack of diapers. I think it is hilarious that the 5’s are not for my almost two-year-old, but for my barely 8 month old. Hilarious!!

And wouldn't you know - this morning, though the front of the size 5 Cruiser was full, my precious baby's PJ's were lovely and dry :)
