Bathtime improvised

Aidan stinks... and I say this in the most loving way. Aidan is still in diapers- he was in the midst of potty training when we went into surgery- and we (obviously) have put that on hold while in his cast. To be honest, I think life would be a little more difficult if he was using the potty- trying to hold him over the potty and aiming... I just don't see it working so well. However, unfortunately- we have had a diaper incident too. Aidan was, well, tucked into the cast in a way that made it so that when he urinated- it went right into the cast- missing the diaper completely. So, our Saturday this past weekend was spent trying to clean the iside of the cast (not such an easy task) and blowing him dry for about 3 hours (FYI- the cotton they use for lining the cast- does not dry very quickly). So, if you get close to Aidan- and stick your nose down by his cast- he is kind of stinky. Poor little guy. We try to keep him as clean as possible- we just miss about half of his body since it is cast covered. But at least his head, arms, feet and exposed other areas are cleaned. We have a perfect set up for Aidan's "bathtime". Our counter is perfect size for him to lie down beside the kitchen sink and we have a pull out spray nozzle to spray his head down. He doesn't love it- but I think he must feel better when we are all done. Here are a couple of pictures of Aidan getting his bath.
