Use the old diaper to block the stream. I once was asked if my son had peed on me. After answering in the affirmative the reply was "gross!"
Not really. As a baby I got three other liquids from him (puke, snot, and diarrhea) that I would trade for pee any day!
Pee washes easily out of sheets, clothing, diaper pad covers... Just block it from hitting the wall!

While this is the best thing ever, my son is now pretty much exactly half my height and sometimes he runs full speed at me, I feel like I need to wear a cup anytime I'm around him now.

Or when they're teething and biting everything in sight at the same time...
...and think that it's hilarious when you yell "ow".
Maybe that's just my little sociopath though.

Pee is much better than being covered in baby spit up. The smell is just the worst. Sour milk.

Haha yes. I was taking care of baby late last night and apparently she spat up on me and I had no idea. I was late this morning so I rushed out the door and now I have a stinky sour milk smelling t-shirt. I'm considering going to the mall at lunch and buying a new shirt.

Putting aside the question of how (eg adoption, egg donor etc.), how old is too old to be a dad?
For various reasons many people are choosing to have a child later in life.
Obviously a lot things depend on the age of the mom in terms of raising a child, but for a dad how old is too old? 40, 45, 50?

My dad had another kid at 43. Not too old at all.

The only hard part of being 40 with young kids is that I sometimes don't have enough energy to keep up with them. In some ways it would be better to have kids in 20s just for the energy. That being said, they are keeping me young and I appreciate the kids way more now than I ever would have in my 20s!

I'm 28 and I can't keep up with my 1.5yr old. That kid would run around outside all day if we let him -.-

I just found out a 72 year old in my building is the father of a 4 year old. I had assumed he was the grandfather.
It's obviously never too old to become a father however I've heard it gets harder the older you are due to a lack of energy and greater unrelatability when the kids become teenagers.

At the end of the day, this:
I learned how to be a father when I lost my son at the mall
Quote:
Their parents couldn't have been any more prepared than I was. They had to be just as lame, just as inexperienced, just as worried. And yet, against all odds, their kids had grown up.
For the next decade or so, I found solace in crowds. I’d sit at a baseball game, and when the attendance would be announced, something in my stomach would loosen. Another 26,212 people who’d made it past the slings and arrows, the meanness and innocence, the temptations and tempests of childhood. And I would sit back in my seat, put my arm around whatever kid I happened to have at the game with me and believe, perhaps against reason, that my children would outlive me.
And that is really the only Father’s Day wish that matters.

Wife is at 36 weeks with our second now. He's measuring pretty big. It's weird, having a 2 year old and thinking about going back to the beginning with another one. Soon!

I was changing my son once and he started to pre as I was wiping his bum. This caused him to pee in his own face. He cried, I said "it's your own fault, I'm not the one that peed on my own face."
He hasn't peed while I've changed him since.
That said I also put a wipe down to cover him so if he does pee he's covered and he doesn't pee on me.

In my experience the rush of cooler air to his junk can trigger the pee, so I got in the habit of opening the diaper, then closing it about 5-10 seconds later for a moment or two. Mileage may vary.

Our 2 year old is on hour 3 of being up in the middle of the night for no particular reason. Not upset, not sick, doesn't say much when asked what's wrong, just awake and won't stay in bed. Tomorrow should be fun.

One of our kids went through that. I would get up with him and watch cartoons until he got sleepy and agreed to go back to bed. It was a phase that lasted only a week(?) and then he went right back to his old sleeping habits. It should soon pass.

My two year old when he comes in, he always closes the door behind him. I'm sure you know of the grace of 2 year old children closing doors. Slightly panic inducing being woken up from a dead sleep at 3am by the door crashing shut, haha.
