I had to post these pictures, as weird as they may be. This is the scene I found this morning when I woke the boys up: Both Roy and Rex were on the top bunk (Roy's bed) fast asleep. Aaawww, how cute right? Then I noticed what Rex was wearing...a mass of pull-ups from his waist to his knees. I could not imagine why on earth he would have on so many diapers. He couldn't even move his legs, but there he was sleeping soundly as if the giant diaper cast were as comfortable as jammies.I did what every good mom does when she finds her kids doing something bizarre--started taking pictures and posting them on the internet! (That's the beauty of living in this century--we don't have to wait a decade to submit them to the high school year book, we can begin the public embarrassment immediately.) Bo was out in the living room so I whispered, "Honey, you've got to come in and see this." We had a really good laugh, which woke up the kids. Not a bad way to wake up--both parents in fits of laughter standing next to your bed snapping photos. I can think of worse.
Anyway, we definitely needed an explanation so here's what Roy told us. After we put the boys to bed, Rex decided that he'd like to sleep in Roy's bed with him. Roy, concerned about Rex's bed wetting issue, said, "No way! You are NOT going to pee in my bed." Rex was persistent enough that Roy relented under the condition that Rex put on an additional pull-up "just in case." Rex decided to comply, but took it a few steps further. He put on every pull up he could find--23 to be exact. What could Roy say to that? There was no risk of leaking with a giant diaper leg.
A few amazing observations from mom...
1. How does one get to the top bunk when you can't move your legs to climb a ladder? (Roy says that Rex hopped.)
2. How does one sleep wrapped tightly from the waist down?
3. When we got to the bottom of the diaper stack, not one was wet! Now that is amazing--23 diapers and all of them dry.
Never a dull moment in the Buettenback household! Thanks for sharing a laugh with us...

Sarah you have me in tears laughing so hard at this post. I just shared it with Brett and he got a great laugh out of it also - every mom should read this one. I can totally relate because Joshua sleeps on the top bunk and Matthew in the bottom and Matthew is "not allowed" on Joshua's bed for fear of peeing on it. I just loved reading this!
That is probably the funniest thing I have ever seen from a child!!!! Oh my word Sarah!!! Isn't it amazing what they'll come up with! Thanks so much for sharing and starting my day off with a hearty laugh and big smile ~
that is hilarious!!!
