For others, it&#8217;s the opening of spring training. Then<br \/>there&#8217;s me.  Nowadays, my life pretty much has two forms of excitement.<\/p>\n<p>The first happens almost every time I change a diaper. For just a<br \/>moment after I rip the diaper open there&#8217;s a split second where<br \/>anything can happen. It&#8217;s like a game of diaper roulette (unless I can<br \/>already smell the danger, in which case I&#8217;ve already lost). Most of<br \/>the time it&#8217;s an innocent enough wet diaper, but every so often one of<br \/>the babies has a stinky surprise for me. I don&#8217;t know how they can<br \/>keep something that foul a secret, bit they find a way.<\/p>\n<p>The second source of excitement occurs more often and is a lot more<br \/>dangerous. Every couple of nights we give the munchkins baths. One of<br \/>us gets in the tub to bathe them while the other takes care of getting<br \/>the little ones ready and bringing them into the bathroom. That&#8217;s the<br \/>exciting job. It&#8217;s about 15 steps from the changing table to the bath.<br \/>Normally this isn&#8217;t a big deal, but when you&#8217;re carrying a naked baby<br \/>chanting &#8220;Don&#8217;t pee. Don&#8217;t pee. Don&#8217;t pee!&#8221; it seems more like 15<br \/>miles. So far we&#8217;ve both made it without either baby making a mess,<br \/>but it&#8217;s been close a few times and it&#8217;s only a matter of time before<br \/>one of us isn&#8217;t so lucky. Sure, we could just carry the babies into<br \/>the bathroom and then take off their diapers, but what&#8217;s the fun in<br \/>that?  Then we&#8217;d have to jump out of an airplane to get our excitement<br \/>fix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For some people, excitement is jumping out of an airplane or driving arace car.
