I even made it up to a local baby boutique that sells cloth diapers and second-hand clothes. I love that I can see, feel, and molest the diapers before I decide which brand to try. Maybe some day the big chain stores will catch on that some people want to be more green and start stocking cloth diapers. Sigh, some day. Anyways, we needed some new covers 'cause Tam's outgrown a few of ours. Oh, there are some really cute diapers! A small part of me just melts and goes awwww. Then, the larger part of me realizes that this is a part of his wardrobe that only Brian and I see and holds the poop! It does not need to be cute. Yet, I still bought the blue and green covers and none of the pink ones. Pink and poop just doesn't go together.
My last stop was at good ol' McDonald's. Not so much for food because we are all trying to eat healthier, but Tam needed a clean diaper and milk. I thought Mickey D's is family friendly so we shouldn't have any problem meeting these goals. I walk into the women's restroom (which was very clean) and noticed...no changing table. None, zip, nada. I walked back out and looked for a "family" restroom. Nope, zip, nada. Finally, I thought well, maybe this McD's is progressive, and I actually peaked in the men's restroom. Nope, zip, nada on the changing stations. Sheesh. Being a person that isn't phased in the least, Tam gets changed on vanity next to the sink. He totally loved it because he could just reach the faucet to turn it on and off and had a blast making faces in the mirror. After this, I go up to buy the milk and some fries and put in the inquiry as to why the great American iconic family restaurant has no freakin' changing table. The answer I got is that no one has installed them. Sheesh.
I don't know what the moral of this post is. . . maybe I should learn my lesson and avoid all fast food. Or I need to learn how to change kiddo quickly in the trunk of the car. Oh, I can't wait for potty training :-)
