Sleeping Like a Baby

In an effort to keep Cooper’s chronic diaper rash under control, we’ve been taking turns checking him at about 10 PM, which is about two hours after he’s gone to sleep. If needed, we’ll change his diaper and apply a fresh coating of cream or gel to his bottom to get him through the night.

What dumbfounds me is that Cooper remains sound asleep through this entire process. Keep in mind that this is a boy that will fight us through an entire diaper change when he’s awake.

I tried to put myself in his place, and I cannot conceive of staying asleep if someone were to put me through the following process:

  1. Remove me from my bed.
  2. Plop me down on a chilly changing table
  3. Remove my diaper
  4. Apply a cold, wet, wipe to my bottom
  5. Suit meback up
  6. Put me back to bed
That’s quite a few steps. Good for you, little guy!

Rocky Horror

Tonight, I watched “Rocky Horror Picture Show” for the very first time, in preparation for part one of Kandis’ birthday next weekend. Next Saturday night, we will be attending a live showing of this film along with a group of friends. After seeing the movie tonight, I’m now looking forward to next weekend instead of dreading it. There will be plenty of room for fun (after a few beers, of course).

Sleeping In

Cooper slept in until 10:30 this morning. As a result, so did we. WTF, Cooper?
