Hailey's School for Daddy-to-Be

We visited our great-niece Hailey (4 1/2 years old) yesterday, and she was telling me how she was practicing for our baby with her doll, "Baby Hailey."  So, I asked her to show me how she holds the baby, and she did a perfect job!

I told Hailey that she should probably show her uncle how to properly change a diaper because it's been many years since he's done it.  Oh boy, was that a hysterically funny event!  I can't even describe it without laughing, so I photographed it for your viewing pleasure:
"First we take off the used diaper." - Hailey
"Here, I'll get her ready for the fresh diaper for you."  -Craig; "No, Uncle Craig!  You don't hold the baby up by the leg!" - Hailey
"This is how you put on the clean diaper." - Hailey
"Then you stick the little tabs to hold the diaper on." - Hailey; "Like this?" - Craig; "Yup!" - Hailey
"Then you put baby's clothes back on." - Hailey; "I'll hold the baby still for you." - Craig;  "No, Uncle Craig!  You can't hold the baby by her head!" - Hailey
I'm sure you can imagine how funny this was in person!  I had such a hard time steadying the camera and not peeing myself from laughing so hard!  Craig's mom, Barbara, was looking on, and she also had a hard time containing her giggles.

Then I asked Hailey to show her uncle how to properly hold a baby.  He did fine holding her, but he got a scolding from Grammy about feeding the baby iced coffee!
"Craig!  Babies don't drink coffee!" - Barbara
