A milestone for a young man

He didn't appear in any of the last set of pictures, but he was there! Etienne lives across the street, and has agreed to help with our wading pool outings each week.

(Isn't he a handsome boy? And gentle, too.)
After our water time, it was time to get dressed again. As I wrestled children out of soggy clothes and into dry ones, I directed Milan and Owen to the teens for dry diapers. Etienne expressed consternation: turns out he had never changed a diaper!

Well then. Am I going to rescue him? Not on your life. This is a Learning Opportunity. I show him how to orient the thing, and leave him to it. Mwah-ha.

Rebekah, she of years of diaper experience, stepped alongside. "You hold their feet like this, and slip the diaper like that...

Pull this side down and draw the tab up..."

And ...

VICTORY!!!

Another diaper-experienced teen is now on the babysitting market.
