Mr.Duck

This is the duck that I've mentioned before. Ashley and Matt P's mother brought him to church the Sunday that we visited them. Simon loves the duck! He runs to retrieve it from the bathtub whenever the door is ajar.


WARNING:

NEVER PUT SIMON TO NAP OR TO GO TO BED WITH ONLY A DIAPER ON. EVEN IF
IT IS 120 DEGREES OUTSIDE, PUT A PAIR OF SHORTS ON HIM, ALSO.

TRUE STORY: TODAY I FELT SORRY FOR HIM AS IT IS SO HOT AND DECIDED TO
LET HIM NAP WITH ONLY A DIAPER. BIG, BIG MISTAKE. A FEW MINUTES
LATER I HEAR LOTS OF TALKING IN HIS ROOM. I WAS ALREADY NERVOUS ABOUT
JUST LEAVING HIM WITH A DIAPER ON, SO I OPENED THE DOOR TO CHECK ON
HIM.

SIMON WAS STANDING UP, GIVING AN AUDITORY EXPLANATION OF THE QUILT ON
THE WALL, MENTIONING THE STARS, TRAINS, ETC. I SMILED AT HIS
SWEETNESS. I ALMOST SHUT THE DOOR. ALMOST. I DECIDED TO LOOK A
LITTLE CLOSER TO MAKE SURE HIS DIAPER WAS ON. I SAW SOMETHING WHITE,
AND THINKING IT WAS A DIAPER, I DECIDED TO LEAVE.

BUT THEN, SIMON NOTICED ME AND SMILED, SO I WENT OVER TO SAY HELLO TO
HIM. AS I NEARED THE CRIB, I STEPPED ON A PERFECTLY CLEAN DIAPER. I
NOTICED THAT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A WHITE DIAPER ON HIM (IN THE DARK)
WAS JUST HIS SWEET LITTLE WHITE BOTTOM AS HE HAS A LITTLE TAN ON HIS
LEGS.

HMMM....

SIMON SAID, "DIAPER?" "DIAPER, BYE BYE."

WELL, THE DIAPER ON THE FLOOR WAS DRY AS TEXAS IN JULY; I WISH I COULD
SAY THE SAME FOR THE CRIB SHEET AND BLANKET.
