Meditation on Elimination

    Before I had a chance to hold my daughter in my arms, I wondered what it would be like to change her diapers. Would it be nauseating? a tiresome chore? an impossibly complex manuver?

    Never did I suspect that parents read the content of diapers like some read tea leaves. With a single word vocabulary (Wwaaahh!) she communicates her health by taking fluids in and moving them out. We have become detectives of the derriere. Strange but true.

    I promise all of you -- NO pictures on this topic.

    PS -- I'm figuring out what all those wipes are for..........
