#859 Playing with a baby and not having to change its diaper

Great fun until diaper changing time

Save your money.

Babies aren’t interested in your board games, video games, or iPhone Applications. They just want to play Peekaboo, Patty Cake, Ripping up Wrapping Paper, Breaking Your Glasses, or Sticking Their Hands In Stuff. And playing with babies is great fun. You don’t need to look for batteries, find a set of dice, or put your shoes on. You just make faces, do baby-talk voices, and fly your hand around like an airplane. They laugh and giggle and you’re suddenly a world class entertainer.

It’s great.

Until of course, it’s that time of the afternoon. You know what I’m talking about. Mommy or Daddy pops in, picks up the baby, does the classic Reverse Angle Diaper Peek move, and finds a little chocolate factory working overtime back there.

When they say “Looks like somebody needs a changing!,” that’s your cue to slink off silently to the kitchen or bathroom. The party’s on pause during your daring Dirty Diaper Dash but it’s back on ten minutes later when you casually show up and ask “Hey, can I play with the baby again?”

AWESOME!

  1. And this is why being and Aunty is awesome. Play with baby, then toss’er at Mum when things get stinky.

    …What’s that? Aunty’s should be eqipped to change diapers? Naaaah. Been there twice, man. I ain’t never going back. o__O

  2. I’ve never played with a baby before. But on the plus side, I’ve never had to change ones diaper! That would be a nightmare. I don’t even want to imagine.

  3. Awe…You people have no idea what you’re missing! Change-Table-Time is one of the bestest bonding times~ Baby language story times and sing-a-along times. Building trust and bonding times. And as baby gets that you cared to “clean up their world”~ their huge gratitude smiles, fill your heart and “rock your world”!

  4. I don’t mind changing diapers because the relieved look on babies faces when they finally has a clean diaper on is priceless. And then they get all smiley at you, and you are well on your way to being one of their favorite people

    1. Guess i wont be one of my nieces favourite person. I had to change her diaper, because i won a game and that was my price.in the beginning it went well. But she moved a lot. So i had to constantly lay her down correctly. In the beginning it went well, but in the end.. her head doesnt touched the blanked softly (the changing was on the ground on a blanket). And she began to cry. I felt really bad, because it was my fault. I dont know how much ive apologized. Her mom said its oke, dont start crying. And there were my tears falling. I felt so bad, and everyone was trying to make me laugh and saying that it makes her stronger. Still feeling bad about it.
