how did he do that?




We visited the playground again today and he wasn't as daredevil-ish as yesterday. He seemed a little intimidated by the slides after 1) he slid down one that was HOT from the sun and 2) he tripped and nearly fell on the upper part of a play structure. He wasn't in danger of falling off by any means, but he did almost fall down one step and caught himself with his arms grabbing a railing just in time. It upset him pretty badly and he cried and wanted down and wouldn't come down any slides after that. He'd run back and forth across the play structure (up in the air over my head) from one slide to the other, but he wouldn't slide down. I finally had to grab him when he passed by an opening where I could reach up and get him.

We spent the evening at the Gallmans' house and just after we got there, Dennis and Chloe immediately began screaming in glee and dancing and playing together. When we followed them into Chloe's room, we noticed something weird on the floor. A wet diaper, lying open. Upon closer inspection, it was a Luvs brand diaper, which Dennis wears. We checked Dennis after staring stupidly at it for long minutes and wondering how it got there. He was still in all his clothing and his overall shorts were undisturbed. But, he was totally commando under there. We have to conclude that he reached into his overalls, unhitched his diaper, and then pulled it out of the side or let it fall out a leg hole. If we hadn't seen the diaper on the floor, we'd not have known he'd taken it off. I hope this isn't a precursor to future stripping incidents (or my hardwood floors face certain peril).
