A Second Chance

Who are you smiling at

"Okay, changing baby boy's diapers can be tricky.  I've never known anything else, so I've got it down pretty well.  You have to shield his little mister gently okay?  If not you'll get pee all over you, and that isn't fun.  You boys, especially the twins got me all the time!  Your father and I were young and new to the whole thing, so we were constantly drenched."

"Heh!  That's funny!" James laughs.

"It was not!"

"Alright, alright, hold his thing up and what else?" Sam asks.

"Not up, he'll pee on himself!  Like this."

Jessica shows the boys, then moves aside and says, "Samuel, you go first.  It's not a stinky one, so you've lucked out."

"Okay..." He says in a nervous tone.

"Grab his little legs, and make sure he's all clean.

...

Now close up the diaper and make sure it doesn't fall off of him." She chuckles.

Sam picks him up and lightly moves him up and down.

"I did it!" He smiles.

"Good job, baby!" Jessica smiles and pats his back.

"Now you two might need to help each other, because the next one will probably be a dirty diaper."

"Oh great!" Michael and James look to each other.

"Oh my gosh! *Gags* This is unnatural!  Why does a little boy just a week old have this gross of a diaper?" James asks.

"Oh come on boys, it's not bad!"

"Mom, my eyes are watering!" Michael says.

"You're fine!" Jessica slaps his arm with a diaper.

"Grayson, you're cute.. But man you're smelly!"

Jessica hits James' arm and says, "Awe don't tell him that!  That's not nice, is it Gray?  No it's not, baby boy!" Jessica cups his little face and kisses him.

Once thanksgiving break was over, Jessica and Grayson were on their own for a few hours while the boys were at school.

"Are you sure you're okay by yourself, mom?" James asks.

"Yeah baby, we'll be fine!" She smiles.

"Okay.. Call us if you need anything."

"Thanks James."

"That's nicer than Sam." Michael says.

"What?"

"Mikey, shut up."

"What did he say?" Jessica chuckles.

"That he was excited to go back to get out of the house for a while and that a newborn has taken a lot out of him."
