The Good Ship Poopypants

I realized recently that I use nautical metaphors when talking to Virginia on the changing table. I give her a toy or book to play with while I am changing her and when she gets tired of it she tends to throw it "overboard."

That one has been around for a while, but a new nautical phrase has just joined diaper change time. Virginia is much better about putting her hands on her bottom than she used to be but, once her entertainment has gone overboard the hands sometimes wander in that direction. A couple weeks ago I found myself exclaiming, "No hands below deck!"

All this nautical nonsense leads me to conclude that the changing table is actually a ship. Now, where it's headed...? I'll let you know. It has to smell better than where it has been.
