The Curse of the Puppy Outfit

There’s apparently an unwritten rule that baby clothes with puppies on them have to be blue. So, even though it causes Carolyn to look like a boy*, several weeks ago I bought her a really cute teddy bear and puppy outfit that’s blue, white, and teddy bear brown.

It’s cursed.

Carrie’s worn it maybe 4 or 5 times, and each and every time she’s had a major diaper blow-out. I just finished cleaning up the most recent one. Well, “finished” may not be an appropriate word, since I still need to put my jeans through the wash, but I figured the baby clothes took precedence. This incident actually required a bath and everything, and I’m afraid her white socks won’t ever be the same again.

I’m going to rename it the Poopy Outfit, and I think I’ll wait until she’s in the next size up diapers to try it again.

*I’ve actually been asked, while Carolyn is dressed head-to-toe in pink, if she’s a girl or a boy, so I suppose it really doesn’t matter if she wears blue occasionally…
