So, yesterday or the day before, Tristan ate something that doesn't quite agree with him. Or maybe he just has a stomach bug. At any rate, diaper changes have been fairly traumatic the past 24 hours and the mantra he chants until diaper changes are complete is "Butt owie! Sur!" (sore.)

So I'm trying to comfort and console him and convince him that even though wiping hurts while we're doing it, it will feel better once I clean him up and get some balm and a dry diaper on him. Meanwhile, in a tiny part of the back of my mind, I'm viciously squelching the little voice yelling "butthurt!"

Nah. The acidic diarrhea is bad enough without putting him through that.

I'm sure Ambrya and all you parents already know this, but I did not know this and it probably could have saved my little girl some serious pain: acid burn is not the same as diaper rash. And they have stuff that works wonders for acid burn.

when you know you're child is getting the acid burn type of runs, after a thorough, gentle cleaning, it's a good idea to place a layer of vaseline on the skin. It helps keep the acid off the skin come next round, and less painful on the butt.

Butt Paste for normal runs rocks. Also, I just love the name. It always make me chuckle.

Using cloth diapers limits our balm options a little because petroleum based balms would ruin the absorbency of our diapers, but I've been slathering him pretty generously with Angel Baby Bottom Balm which has an oil and calendula oil base and it helps.

Treat a kid having diaper rash issues with a laxative oil. Mother of the Year, here you come!

careful with that, Deb/ If Thom is beginning to talk or talking already you never know what words they pick up. And their little baby talk is real cute, but they have a high chance of warping things to sound awfull (although funny as hell.) I can easily imagine him saying Daddy caulk? at the wrong moment. Smiley: lol

The word "clock" is interesting around our house, because unless we say "cuh-lock" very slowly, Tristan will drop the L from the word entirely. I also got some raised eyebrows from my in-laws when he started quoting from a book about a fox.

Also, apparently there's no S in "disk."

Heh, We actually haven't (had to) use the buttpaste in some time - he really never gets any rash. And he doesn't talk yet - just babbles, sometimes mamama or dadada or yeahyeahyeah.

He did have his first apple today. Like almost a whole small Red Delicious. Kid loves his fruits and veggies but won't touch meat!

If hilarity is more your goal, some baking soda in the diaper would probably make for a hilarious mess.

It may just seem like babble, but he's still picking up words along the way, just not saying them. Also, one day out of the blue, he will suddenly parrot something he hears and you never know when that moment will be. I had to stop watching True Blood while Tristan was awake because one of the characters shouted a very bad word and (even though Tristan hadn't shown any propensity for doing this yet until that moment) it got Tristan's attention enough that he shouted it right back.

Yup. I've had to stop watching Knicks games for the same reason.

Ashes favorite words right now are fart and ****.If he hears gas passed he immediatly perks up and points to the offender yelling "FART! DAaddy FART!" then giggles. And he is very proud when he farts, and wants the world to know.

it doesnt help that this cracks us up which makes him do it more. But when you hear a 2 yr old voice yelling fart, it is a great form of entertainment.

(I love this age)

Whenever Tristan hears anyone fart, he not only announces that there has been a fart, he then makes sound effects to recreate the event in case you missed it the first time.

The other day our cat hocked up a hairball and he overheard his dad say that kitty had puked, and so now every time he sees the cat he declares "Kitty PUKE!"
