Footloose

Ok, today we really get into the dirty (literally) little secrets nobody ever tells the new parent. Those of us in that category never learn these important secrets until it is entirely too late to make a difference.

Today we present an expose on the following: You have to remove baby's socks when you are changing a diaper.

I ran this by my sister, at this point a grand master in the art of the diaper change, and she said, "Yeah, of course. Otherwise they get poop on their sock." Thanks for the timely advice, sis.

Unfortunately, none of the instructions and advice given to the new parent addresses this seemingly important element of the diaper change. (See here, for example. Notice the conspicuously missing step).

I think that is all that we have to say on the subject at this point. We have some laundry to do.
