A letter to Max for the future

Dear Max,

Are you reading this blog? It's 10:40 pm on December 29, 2008, but I'm guessing you are looking at this far in the future. You are perhaps running for President and you are vetting this blog for any dirt on you. So let me tell you about your diaper changes.

We are carefully keeping track of all bowel movements, not for our own scientific curiosity, but because it's an indication of whether or not you're getting enough nutrition. Problem is, it's really hard to count, because we can't tell where one ends and another begins. You've given an endless stream of poop and pee for hours. We signed up for a diaper service on Friday, and got, we were told, a 10-day supply of diapers. Well, it's 3 days later and they're almost gone. They gave you "newborn" sized diapers. We may have to switch to adult incontinence pads and duct-tape them on you.

With love,

-Todd and Delia
