But apparently a side effect of Oragel is crazy, delirious baby that performs commando rolls. Miss Lily Pants has 4—FOUR— molars starting to poke through her tender gums. So last night I applied Oragel to all of them. Within 30 minutes she changed from normal toddler playing with her toys to wild one on a rolling mission. It was a sight to see and had us laughing very hard. Here is a little description to what we witnessed: Step 1- put right shoulder/arm under body. Step 2-roll like crazy. Not sure where she learned that move but she definitely had an order to it. She repeated this many, many times.
To keep with the theme of what people don’t tell you…one that tops the cake is diaper changes. Around month 9 or 10, there are no more easy going diaper changes. Ya know, the kind where the baby lays there relaxed throughout the entire process of removing the old diaper, wiping, applying powder, putting on fresh diaper and re-dressing. Now, child is on the move with the first unsnapping. By the time we lay Lily down to start the process, she is either very upset and using her baby wrestling move to keep from being pinned or crawling madly away from us. It’s not all horrible, once they are old enough to stand you can do most steps in this position pretty easily. Speed is another factor. If you can do it all within 30 seconds you’re doing okay. My brother and sis-in-law are just beginning to fully comprehend our diaper changing stories. Connor is 10 months old and he’s getting antsy. I proudly told him about my super diaper changing ability while Lily was sitting the entire time. I had to brag, he’s my brother.
