Non-Problems Really
Posted By Kathleen David on March 2, 2005
Caroline is a tall kid for her age. I have people mistaking her for much older than she is. The 2T clothing is becoming very short on her. One of the problems we are having currently is getting her diapers to fit correctly. I know that soon we will be potty training her but even then her night diapers might be a problem for a while. She is too long for size 5 but not wide enough for size 6. So we are making do for now.
I have applied for another job that I would be very good at. Considering the information I have gotten from a couple of people, I am not holding out much hope for this one but I had to go for it. I really need some private time to think about this job thing and my options right now. I have some ideas but have no idea the best way to execute them. I think I am going to clean something. I tend to clear my mind while cleaning up.
Caroline using me as a jungle gym has a few problems. I think between that and the knitting, I have aggravated my left elbow. It really hurts when I pick things up with my left hand. My right shoulder is not much better right now. I turned my left ankle the other day slipping on a loose toy. Having a child can be hazardous for your health. So heat and cold and anti-inflammatory are the order of the day.
I am grateful that I can still pick things up.
Boy, can I sympathize with the first “non-problem.” Katherine is long and slender — as of her six-month checkup last week, she’s 90th percentile on height and 10th on weight. (She’s been 10th on weight consistently, so nobody’s worried about it from a health standpoint.) We just started running into problems with diaper fit as well this past week. When Caroline was younger, any particular brand that worked well (or badly) for her?
I hope all the aches and pains fade with the melting snow! (The snow IS melting, right?)

We have a somewhat different problem with Emily. She is very short and lean, but what fat she has is all in her belly, making her somewhat budda shaped. So she ends up needing bigger stuff to fit the waist and it hangs markedly off her legs, way too long. So my question is this, exactly who are these clothes made for?
Kathleen’s responce:
According to the diaper companies, they are making them for an average baby. Funny, I have never met one of those.
