Diapering 101

I have always wondered how drug addicts and mental cases take on the responsibility of a new baby. And there are crack ho's with twins. How do they manage ? I can barely do it sober (most of the time).
And then I watched this and realized, hell...if a 4 year old can handle it, SURELY a druggy can. and then I felt bad about myself for just hanging on.


I know most of you will probably push play and then watch for 2 seconds and then hit comments because WHY watch 4 minutes of this.....but I need to tell you, it took me 5 hours to get this damn thing loaded to one.true.media and uploaded to my blog....so if that made you feel the least bit bad, maybe you could watch for at least 30 seconds. :)
You can sign up for winter quarter November 1st. Syd will be teaching all classes Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-2 pm.

Funny about the tooting!! HAHAHA

What a cute little girl! And a big helper! Does you hire her out. LOL

Stacie said...

How cute! I am with Beans, I was wondering if she was going to get nailed, too. So glad she managed to escape that--she might not want to help any more!

I will have you know...that your 5 hours was not in vain. I watched this 2x!! Awww, how cute!! The babies are getting so big, and they are sooo cute!! I'm glad she's helping you out! And she's doing such a good job too!

Audra said...

LOL at the tooting. What a great helper!

Jo said...

I watched the WHOLE thing. One, those boys were incredibly patient with their sister, they obviously love her to death. Two, don't you love knowing the way Syd is with the boys, talking to them and being all cute with them comes from watching her mamas love her brothers? You must be doing a great job! You could mass market her you know....

Too Cute!

There you go again making poor syd work. I guess Utah has lax child labor laws. Really though, I watched the entire video, it was adorable. I LOVE Syd's laugh. Very cute.

Jen said...

Ah, it's a cold heart that would push stop before that sweet video was over. I sat mesmerized through the entire thing. LOVE how she calls him buddy through it all and worries if it's too tight and apologizes to him. SOOOO Sweet...I wanna gobble 'em up! Lucky mama you are to have that little helper!

Reminds me of myself when my baby sister was born. I was 9, much older than Syd. I watched the whole thing with admiration.

She is absolutely wonderful. I get so flustered with an 8 month old and a 5 year old and I see her so calmly with the babies. I loved how she stopped diapering one, focused on the other, then went back to her diapering job.
Very calm!

She is such a mommmy's helper. I especially like the motherly advice you gave her, "don't touch the penis", keep reminding her that so in 12 years she knows not to touch the penis!

Your 5 hours was not in vain. Not only did T watch it earlier, but when I watched it the kids (all 3) wanted to watch it. It was stinkin' cute. I, too, am surprised she didn't get a peed on. I especially loved when she stopped to cover Nathan before finishing up with Ryan:)

Catherine said...

She is unreal :) I can't believe how much she can do with those boys-and so motherly :) She must be a wonderful help to you!

Eva said...

That is so adorable. I love how gentle she is with him. What are her hourly rates?

Jennica said...

Ok that might just be the cutest thing that I have ever seen. She is so sweet. You guys have taught her well.

keri said...

ooo - they are all so cute! & what a good big sister she is! It's like she's playing dolls.

kyky7079 said...

Ok, I watched the entire thing...and I wanted it to be longer! The best part, "I touched his penis!" Of course I was watching at work with the volume up. LOL! What a great big sis.

Shawna said...

Syd totally kicks ass.

Does she change cloth diapers too? If so...send her our way, please.

hotomiky said...

AJ's mommy said...

oh i watched the whole thing and that was adorable! She is doing so awesome with them!

Beth said...

I watched the whole video through and just loved it. She is so sweet and loving to her brothers. You have raised such a sweet big sister!
Thanks for sharing!

amy said...

watched the whole thing and LOVED the tooting and peanuts, too cute! she's incredibly gentle with them, maybe lots of practice, maybe just a really sweet girl, maybe a combination of both!

Ali said...

Oh, I love it! We watched all 4 min and 22sec. What a precious big sister!

Colleen said...

I watched the whole thing. Wow is she adorable, I'm glad she didn't get peed on. ;)

Heidiat2nd said...

FYI...watched the whole damn video, mostly 'cause I really wanted him to pee on her. But that is just my waaa haaa haa personality coming out! :)

Rainbow Momma said...

Good for you for having a little helper. My Sydney is a big helper, but she still won't change a diaper - at almost 6! Speaking of changing diapers, I smell something bad...

Jen said...

So dang cute! I need a little helper like that for middle of the night cryings. I'm too tired to care how old they are, so Syd will do just fine.
She is so much like you, WOW! You are lucky to have such a great family.
