One of my jobs as a new dad was to wake Bronwyn up when she fell asleep during a feeding. I hated this job because waking up a peacefully sleeping baby made me feel like the biggest turd in the world. The trick was doing a diaper change - necessary or not. For the first few weeks, Bronnie hated diaper changes so this never failed to cause her to wake up screaming mad. If I dared console Bronnie after a diaper change but before her feeding was over, Crystal would give me a dirty look and sometimes call me a dirty name to go with that look.
Nowadays, Bronnie doesn't mind diaper changes so much. She's accepted them as a very frequent part of life. When she did mind, every diaper change made me feel like that butt-hole farmer in Burger King's Angry Onion commercial with Bronnie playing the role of the innocent onion.
I'm posting the commercial here in case Bronwyn reads this in 15 years and wants to know why Mom has always been her favorite parent. It's because your old man got his parenting techniques from this guy
