You Can't Stop the Urine, Nobody Can Stop the Urine
I learned something very important tonight.
A few minutes ago, I was changing my 5 month old daughter's diaper. I had pulled off the wet diaper and was cleaning her behind with a wipe when all of a sudden...she started peeing. Now albeit, it would have been worse if it was a boy because the pee stream would have been shooting straight up like a lemonade fountain. It's still bad enough when it's a girl because the urine dribbles everywhere.
This is my younger daughter and, oddly, the first time I've experienced this phenomenon with her. It happened several times I can remember with the older daughter. This being the first time in 2 years I've had to deal with this, none of my infant surprise urination training kicked in. I panicked and grabbed the wet wipe I was holding and held it up to her "tinkler" in a futile attempt to dam the flow at its source. Surprise! It didn't stop it. Thankfully, the flow of urine just looked more plentiful than it really was and I was able to clean it up really fast.
