The Diaper Genie

I put Troy down for a nap today, and as I’d usual when he’s home in the middle of the day, I laid him on the bed instead of in his crib. He was wearing a t-shirt and pants rather than a onesie, and he asked me to take the pants off. So, I did with a little reluctance. I covered him and left to let him drift off and sleep.

He was unusually restless, flopping around and moving the pillows from one end of the bed and back again. After 45 minutes of laying there with his eyes wide open, he stopped. The next moment, he stands up on the bed, and all I see in the baby monitor is his bare buttocks in full view of the camera. He had taken his diaper off and mooned me! He stood like that for a minute, and then he laid back down. So I went in to put his diaper back on. Apparently, the freedom and cool air of going diaperless had struck him with the notion to pee all over the bed and pillows. And that’s how I found him, laying on the only dry spot on the bed and complaining that someone, he wasn’t sure who, had wet the bed. Why does he only do this stuff when I’m home watching him by myself?!
