So by now we are becoming experts at changing a nappy in a matter of seconds, a deft swipe with a nappy wipe, nappy on and away we go. Obviously this activity is normally preceded by a quick sniff of Maddie’s bottom to see if she needs changing.

Today however was different, just as we were walking out the door I became aware that my hand was (there’s no nice way of saying this) covered in shit – her nappy had leaked and there was poo on the sofa, her legs, my shirt, my jeans, my jacket, her dungerees and her body suit!!

All this was greeted with a big cheesy grin and thus 15 mins later than planned after a few quick outfit changes and another nappy we were on our way again. (I resisted the temptation for a themed photo!)
