I Didn’t Know That, Daddy. But Thank You For Telling Me.

“Princess, before you take your nap, Daddy wants you to know that he loves you,”  her Daddy said sweetly as she leaned on the side railing of her crib.

A little tummy trouble had led to a messy day for her so far.  But after her Daddy fixed her a simpler lunch of toast, apple sauce and banana pudding, her tummy settled a bit, enough for her to sit up straight without pain but not enough for her Daddy to put her back in her thinner, daytime diapers.

“I’m glad to see that you’re feeling  better because Daddy doesn’t like it when you get sick.  And I know that you don’t want to take a nap right now, but you need to,”  her Daddy gently explained.  “Also, Daddy needs to go take care of something – which is what I want to tell you about before you go to sleep.”

The BabyGirl tilted her head to the side, intrigued by what her Daddy wanted to make certain to tell her before nap time.

“Princess, Daddy is so appreciative of you having done the laundry today.  And Daddy is so happy that you like your new cloth diapers.  You look adorable in them,”  her Daddy said with a warm smile.  “But cloth diapers have to be washed.  And from now on, maybe we should always wash your cloth diapers separate from all the other laundry, okay?  Especially on days when you have poopie troubles.”

The BabyGirl’s eyes grew wide and she nursed on her pacifier with a look on her face that said:  “I didn’t know that, Daddy.  But thank you for telling me.  And I will definitely remember it in the future.”
