Air Dry

Today Stanley visited the doctor's office for his second checkup.  We met with Dr. Schwanke and he checked out Mr. Stanley from tip to tail.  Stanley has gained 9 oz since his last checkup and is now heavier than his birth weight at 8 lbs 8 oz.

Dr. Schwanke also said that Stanley is starting to get some diaper rash on his legs and tush and suggested that the best remedy is to let the guy air dry with no diaper.  The challenge here, though, is that he could go off like a loaded gun at any moment, spraying pee in any direction.  We decided to build a "catch zone" to let him frolic without any pesky clothes for a while but keep the carpets and furniture dry.

We needed every square inch of that quarantine zone.

This worked pretty well, but the little guy did manage to pee three times (in just about every direction) once we got the diaper off of him.  Something about the free breeze, I guess.  We also found that he was getting cold, so we followed another tip from the doctor and used a hair dryer to warm him up while he basked in the open air.  Quite a sight.
