We currently have three types of diapers in our home: the regular Pampers, Huggie Swimmers and Huggie Overnights. We had to get the last type because Mr. Lucas was wetting through his diapers at night. I normally have a good sense of which is which, even in a hurried moment to grab one.
Saturday when my sister in law came over with her boys for a swim, I quickly got Lucas ready in what I thought was his swimmer diaper. He was just going in the pool with the diaper and a shirt because his suit was still wet from an earlier swim session.
I got him dressed, put him in the pool and watched as he splashed around and enjoyed his older cousins. A few minutes into the fun, I noticed that his diaper had doubled in size-I thought that was odd.
Then it came to me-I didn't put a swimmer on him, I put an overnight diaper on! It was slowly absorbing water to the point that it was completely saturated! The poor guy was weighed down by this enormous diaper. At least I got to see how much water it will take on. All I could do was laugh. We were barely able to lift Lucas out of the pool-Wendy ended up just taking it off while I stood him up.
It provided some much needed mom humor. I will be sure not to make that mistake again.
