I'll see if I can even get one with me in bed so Sara can stop wondering what that looks like. I did get a good one of Peanut just now snuggling with her daddy, but I haven't gotten it off the camera yet. Hopefully tomorrow.

It hasn't even been 8 hours yet, and she's acting as if all is normal - yippeee!!! I decided I'm still going to let her run "free" at night - which means the shower curtain routine will remain in effect - because after I started thinking about it, I'm now worried about the increased risk of urinary tract infections with the diaper on. It's like a real diaper where it wicks the moisture away from the surface, and I did trim the hair around her butt before I put it on, but I'm still a little worried. I don't mind the shower curtain so we'll see how things go the next few days. Now, to answer your questions and comments....
The drama wears off rather quickly.
Yes, as soon as food was put down the 10 ton weight was immediately lifted.

she'll learn to love it cause she can go to the bathroom anywhere
Earlier tonight when Terry was hogging the computer.....again....I was laying on the couch and she jumped up on me, and immediately proceeded to squat! Before that would have been cause for a resulting immediate action by me of jumping up and running her to the litter box. This time I just lay there and let her pee away.

poop coming out of the diaper and onto everything was worse than cleaning up pee. How do you manage that part with Peanut? It simply stays in the diaper?
Uuuummmmm....haven't gotten that far yet and I was wondering the same thing. Am I going to have to change poopy diapers? Having had no kids, I've never had to do that before in my life! I'll let you know how it goes. Oh, and the shower curtain is warm too, but that just means the heat gets turned way down.

So ... just Where IS the House, now?
OK, I've been gone so where have you just settled into? Are you just now getting to Quartzite?
We're now in a really nice RV park that is almost 1/2 way between Tucson and Phoenix. The nearest towns are Eloy and Marana to be more exact. Terry decided he didn't like RV sales so he quit and since he didn't want to stay in the dustbowl that is Quartzsite, I had to quit my job there too, which was just fine with me. We decided after all the ruckus of the last year - what with selling the house and everything in it and getting everything ready for our great adventure, then actually beginning the great adventure - we needed a break. So, we're just going to relax for a few weeks and see what happens and see where life takes us from here. I don't mind because it gives me lots more time to spoil Peanutter.

what keeps the pee from coming out of the hole for the tail? I've always wondered.
I'm not sure, MOFF, good question! I do know they come in different sizes and maybe the tail hole is sized depending on the size of the diaper - large diaper, large hole, small diaper, small hole. BTW, Peanut takes X-small, and I might even look for XX-small next time.

Thank you all so much. My little girl isn't getting any younger or any healthier and I'm just trying to make her as comfortable as possible for as long as possible - and still keep my own sanity in the process. She is all curled up next to me right now, sleeping soundly.....after "peeing" on her daddy a few minutes ago - should have seen HIS face! I think I'm going to like this....I just hope it continues to work well for her too.
