I'm pretty sure she would have worn it all day if we let her.

The Purple Heart of Diaperage

So Jodi and I have been biting our nails the last couple of days and doing some diaper archaeology. This little foam purple heart disappeared a couple days ago and we had to assume that Harper had eaten it (she had been chewing on it just moments before we lost track of it). Of course the day it disappeared Harper started coughing a lot. We know now it was "just" a cold but it seemed like immanent choking to me at the time. Well, two days later we found the little purple heart and thankfully it wasn't in a diaper. Instead it was under a couch that both of us swear we looked under twice. Oh, well. I'm just glad it turned up one way or the other. It would have been very nerve racking and just plain gross to have to keep checking diapers, until we were sure it had made it through her system. They never mentioned this in the parenting class!
[BTW: Jodi read this post and wanted me to add that it was *me* that left the purple foam heart on the floor in the first place]

Let's see if this thing works. Welcome, weary traveller...
