Patience, Lilia, Patience

Dear Lilia,

I know that I've already written to you in regards to not going to the bathroom while we change your diaper, but maybe I need to expand a little on my views.

First, it would be fantastic if you wouldn't insist on pooping right AFTER we finish changing your diaper. Before would be best. This is made more important by the fact that Desitin works much better if it's on your bum for longer than two minutes.

Second, you're getting WAY too smart for your daddy. Every time I come up with a new way to prevent a diaper accident you decide to make things more "entertaining". Case in point -- I finally figured out how to make you go before being in the middle of the diaper change, but then you go and change things up by waiting until AFTER I've decided that you really don't need to go.

Third, I know that you have lots of pent up energy in that little body of yours, but flailing your arms and legs all over the place doesn't make the whole process go any faster.

Love,
Daddy
