The Leaky Diaper Adventure

A few nights ago Ryan leaked though his diaper at night. Not just his diaper, but his pjs, sleepsack, sheet and mattress pad too. Thought it was a one-off thing so I put his diaper on better the next night. It happened again :(

This is pretty common when a diaper gets too small, and considering what a big guy he is, I figured that was the case. I went up a diaper size. It leaked. Then I tried folding over the top of the diaper (I read some people online suggesting this). It didnt leak! Well, for one night. He woke up wet again the past two nights.

After some internet searching I found two additional tips:
1) Go up two diaper sizes
2) Get Diaper Boosters.

This morning we took a walk to Babies R Us to get them both, and had quite the adventure!

Head out of the garage, rockin and rollin in the double wide. It felt funny. I looked down and noticed a flat tire. Good thing there is a bike shop with a pump right down the street. Went to the bike shop, pumped the tire. It was still flat. Turns out, it was a blown tire. Good thing this bike shop also does speedy repairs.
Ryan drank his milk while Brooke ran in circles, and next thing we knew we were back in business. We continued on our journey, but hit another small delay:

CONSTRUCTION!

Of course, we had to sit there and watch them work. Due to some major changes in the stripmall that holds Babies R Us, there were trucks and workers everywhere. Pretty much a kids dream come true :)

We finally made it to our destination and back home again. We ended up with a pack of diapers, the diaper boosters, and a jump rope. Despite the way we started off, we ended up with a pretty good outing.
