Wow, that is a lot of diapers!

I had to change a dirty diaper at the park, and a friend commented on how fast I was. Naturally I replied, "I've changed a lot of diapers."

That got me thinking. I have been changing diapers for 6.5 years. That is 2439 days of diaper duty. I've often had more than one child in diapers at a time, so I took a conservative estimate of 9 diapers a day. That ends up with...

21,951 Diapers

No end in sight either.

That's a whole heck of a lot of diapers!

And I've got to see you do the "change the diaper on the knees thing again" cause I can't get it to work! Maybe that's just another disadvantage of having lets that are way too short...Molly just doesn't fit!

And in case you're wondering...lets = legs!! Oops.

Holy Cow! Now I'm gonna have to figure out how many I've done. Malachi drinks from a sippy all day almost non-stop so needless to say he has a lot of diapers. And did you take into account how many more your newborns went through in a day?

That's a lot of dirty work and a lot of diapers! ;)

Yowza! That doesn't even count the amount of diapers I'm sure you changed BEFORE you became a mother.

I don't think I want to know how many I've changed or how many I have yet to look forward to.

Yikes...that is a lot of poop. I am going to have to figure that one out. YOu will win this one though. (I am glad that I loose at this game.)
