Justice and Cami on diaper patrol...

Last night I was getting the little boys bathed before Zach got home from work and Sloan was in the bathtub already. Well there was some crisis downstairs with the dog that I was dealing with and I asked Justice and Cami to get Jafeth undressed and put him in the tub with Sloan and then keep their eyes on him until I could get up there. Well I heard some sort of scuffling and giggling upstairs about five minutes later so I hollered up at the boys "did you get Jafe in the tub yet?" and they said "no, he's poopy." So I hollered up "okay, I will be up in just a minute." Well, I headed upstairs and what do I come across? Justice wiping Jafeth clean and Cami holding Jafe's arms and distracting him. They did a great job and got him all cleaned up, undressed and in the bathtub! I was so amazed and proud of them! Justice said "I never knew I could change his diaper, it was pretty easy!" Cami quickly put the diaper in a safeway sack and put it on the front porch for Zach to throw away (that is Cami's "job" he is our local diaper duty man). Anyway, I was so blessed I just had to share that. My boys have their share of unlovely chores (obviously disposing of nasty diapers is Cami's) and Justice is forever on laundry patrol, no easy task with 6 people a puppy and 2 flights of stairs to contend with between where we shed our clothes and the laundry area is. (He is also required to sort them into whites and colors in the appropriate baskets as well). I know that any of you moms with girls are snickering, but let me tell you, seven and six year old boys don't usually volunteer for diaper duty! Thank you Lord for my boys, they are so great!
