Turn that Gripey into a Happy-Morning Diapey!

The only one
I'm really scared of
is that very leaky diapey,
the cause of Mason's usual morning gripey.
And it makes me sort of nervous
when the toot scoots down the chute.
And that major smelly
down-wards of his belly...
I don't like it.
Not at all.
But packages of Seventh Generation Free & Clear Overnights
on the dresser-
They're great fun
to have around.
They tend to turn that gripey
into a happy-morning diapey!
They're rather nice
...I think.

silence

I am the mother, I speak for the zzzzzz's
I speak for the zzzzz's for the z's have no tongue
And I'm asking you at the top of my lungs- that sleep!
That horrible lack of sleep! What's that thing you've made out of my restful night?

Big A, little a,
what begins with A?
awesome ABSENT accidents,
a-a-a.

Big B, little b,
what begins with B?
Both my Boys with a dry Boot-y.

Restful Night

Milk has been drank, books have been read,
Now it is time to go off to bed.
Goodnight stars, goodnight moon,
It's dream time in my peaceful room.
Mommy and Daddy do some chores,
Then it's their turn for lots of snores.
They really, really like their sleep,
It helps them, all day, keep up with me!
I sleep much better, when I am dry,
The diapers would help, this is why!
Overnight diapers, without any bleach,
Would help us all, our dreams reach!

A whole night sleep without a

A whole night sleep
without a peep?
It's been over a year
since I've had that my dear.
With a big boy who wakes
or his twin sisters who don't sleep
Mama never needs to count sheep!

My, oh my!

A full night's sleep?
Oh, what a treat!

I think maybe
I will have one happy baby
if she sleeps through the night
and doesn't wake up with a fright

A dry diaper is the key
to a well rested mommy.
We'll be happy as can be
if there is no leaking pee.

Oh, Seventh Generation
is it just my imagination
that your diaper will stay dry?
my, oh my, oh my!

Oh to Sleep

A whole nights sleep,
Without a peep?
What would I give,
If we could live,
I a house,
As quiet as a mouse.

We cry,
We scream,
We pout,
We dream…. Finally.

The little one avoids,
And makes as much noise,
As a train,
What a pain!

If we could sleep,
Without a peep,
Until 6 in the morn,
I just might toot a horn!

Thankyoutoo

So happy I would weep

Goodnight my boy, now go to sleep
Go right to bed and don’t make a peep
If you would sleep though the night without a leak
I would be so happy I would weep

Sleep. Sleep. Oh for a night without a peep

Sleep! Sleep! Oh how I have missed you.
My little one thinks much of waking at 2!
Where have you gone, my precious dreams.
Into the past so it seems.

Mommy and daddy try to look bright-eyed and bushy tailed
But there is no way around the fact they have failed
We wait patiently for you to learn to sleep
So that we might go a night without a peep.

Sleep I do

Sleep! Sleep, I do
All night long
not even a baby's coo

Sleep, dream; Dream, sleep
I love it so
when there is not even a peep

After all night
now I wake
ready for the breakfast fight

A Mind At Peace with A Greener Diaper

Oh the wonderful night this dipe can make for you
Don’t you want to try them too?

This thirsty garb sucks lots of potty
So you can chill with your spouse, the hottie

These green diapers lack chemical ickies
Give a peaceful mind that they won’t cause sickies

Rest easy knowing they’re better for Earth
As they wrap the cute tush to which you gave birth!

Time to Rhyme

If my little one would sleep through the night,
Until the morning sun is bright
Then perhaps I could find the time
To write a longer Seuss-like rhyme!
But alas it's like a fairy tale
to get through a night without one wail!

Wonderful Night

The time has come
to turn off the light
As we tuck ourselves in
for a wonderful night

We've had lots of fun
It's been a long day
We giggled and ran errands
And friends came to play

We drank all our milk
and shared delicious food
Our tummies are full
Everyone's in a good mood

We put on our jammies
our teeth are brushed
We snuggle together
and the house is hushed

We read one last story
give kisses galore
After some sleep
we'll be ready for more

We settle in
to our comfy bed
and finally rest
our weary head

As the room becomes dark
we hear not a peep
Our beautiful baby
drifts off to sleep

She'll dream pleasant dreams
and get some great rest
She'll stay dry and happy all night
She is the best!

oh sleep so grant

A whole night of sleep would be so grand
but rest and a wet diaper do not go hand in hand
So sleep we must in a soggy state
until one baby does retaliate
a diaper dry all night long
I would sing a happy song!
Let's sleep through till day
so all parents can say,
All night dry is great
so baby wakes in a happy state!

Oh peaceful Night

PeePee, water, juice and Poo
All are needed, right now, too
It's bedtime but my son says no
It's time to play, he's good to go
No matter that its 3 am
It's time to Play, let's play again!
A peaceful night would minus these
and mommy would get on her knees
and thank God for a night of rest
surrounded by those I love best

A Good Night for All

The baby girl was asleep and tucked in real tight
Her parents were settled in for a long night

No sounds were made in quite a long while 
So mom and dad woke up with a smile

Seventh generation are the best diapers in town
For a night with no mess neither yellow or brown!

Just let mommy sleep

It's been five years since I've slept through the night
Now this third baby is giving a good fight.

Just let mommy sleep
8 hours is all
Just let mommy sleep
Without a call

I love you all day
And all night too
Just let mommy sleep
Without a boo

Sleep My Little One

Sleep my little one,
I promise I'll be much more fun,
if the whole night you sleep through,
I'll be so happy to play with you,
all day long for hours on end,
Seventh Generation overnight diapers- our new best friend!

SILENCE

My wife with heavy sad sounding sighs,
And deep dark purple circles, under her eyes, 
Said: “Unless someone like you cares an awful lot,
Nothing here is gonna get better. It’s not.”

Our two toddlers and infant frolicked and played,
And left us in silence, stunned and amazed.
The amount of energy they expelled was astounding.
And the shrieks and loud yelling, left our poor temples pounding.

The clock, reading PM, reached those dreaded double digits.
And my wife had just told me that she’d reached her limits.

Yes, my dearest just gave me a glance.
She gave me a very sad, sad backward glance.
And off she shuffled alone to our bed.
Leaving me to get all three kids diapered and bed.

With their bums all snug they slipped into their jammies, 
I then tucked the eldest of the family away

And the second one followed, and to much astonishment in bed he stayed!
The youngest fell asleep as I watched T.V.
As he lay on my chest, his breathing in sync with me.

So I turned off the tube, in the fast darkening house
And followed my wife.
And all that was left in the house was one word:
SILENCE at long last was the sound in my head.
  Then I shuffled right off to our warm cozy bed.

A whole night's sleep...

A whole night's sleep without a peep
I would spend it counting sheep.
I'd sleep so long, I'd dream so much
I may not wake in time for lunch!

Hurray for Sleep

I need the sleep
But cry I hear
So I have to peep
to console my little dear.

Diaper sooo wet
Leaked everywhere I bet
Bed soaking, too
Oh, what a boo-hoo!

Have a change to make
Find a diaper that won't leak
So some night I won't have to wake
And no need to peek
For the little one will not peep
Hurray for a whole night of sleep!

My happy chaos

Not a baby was crying
Not even her brothers…..

It was so quiet you couldn’t hear a mouse
What am I doing this can’t be my house?!

I awake from my daydream
to find out what’s all the racket
My two boys decide to hit ice cream
With my new tennis racket

I get all the kids cleaned up and sound asleep in their beds
After the ice cream fell right on my head

I then scrub and I scrub till everything shines
I still can’t believe those little devils are mine

It’s finally quiet and I head off to bed
I can’t wait till tomorrow to see what might fall on my head

In the crib you

In the crib you sleep
Hopefully without a peep
But on occasion you will keep
And go straight back to sleep

When you wake up in the morn
Reading, playing with the horn
I know it's due to just one thing
Dry you stay, oh how we sing!

Sleepy-poo

The baby is quiet, and thus so are you,
You take a step back and then you go "phew!"
You wipe your brow and so does your hubby,
And one of you whispers, "my, isn't she lovely!"

You stand and stare for a minute or two,
But you can't stay--you have things to do.
There's the laundry, the kitchen, and the playroom as well,
And off to your own bed before midnight bell.

The life of a parent is never a bore,
When you're done with one thing, there's always more.
But when you're tired and weak and at your wit's end,
Just go to the crib and watch her again.

MY POEM

My eyes are gettying droopy
with yet another poopy!
With waking not one, not two times a night,
I gather all my might to turn on the light.
Thrice the cries wake me
"Please change my diapy!"
If only there was a solution
for the nighttime regrouping
Alas, it is near...
Seventh Generation is here!

No Thanks to Potty on Your Head

At 3a.m., a wimper, a shout!
What is all the noise about?
Off I go on a familiar route.

Is that potty in the bed?
Is that potty on your head?
The potty should be in the diaper instead!

My eyes are feeling awfully buggy
For your Huggies are feeling ever so muggy.
Momma is not a happy camper
For your Pampers have never ever been damper.

I will not take it anymore!
These diapers must go out the door!
Off I march to the grocery store
To find a more absorbent core!

There is no potty in the bed.
There is no potty on your head.
The potty’s in the diaper instead!

Someone finally got it right!
At 3 a.m. all are tucked in tight!
Thank you for this peaceful night. J

Of Laundry and Sleep Broken Nights - Oh My

Oh dear, oh me, oh what a fright
Our laundry room this morning is quite the sight
One load, two loads, three now more
The sheets are strewn across the floor

Up the stairs things do not get much better
Laundry baskets full of pjs that couldn't be wetter
Leaking, wet diapers are filling up that bin
Here comes mother not wearing a grin

Is there no diaper around today
That can keep our wet at bay
Is there no way to greet the morning sun while still dry
A chance to kiss the houses sleep broken nights goodbye

We have heard of a place far far away
Diapers that work the entire night they say
Tired worked out mothers are the inspiration
A wonder from a company known as seventh generation

If only if only it was a place we could go
We would stock up so our diapers did not hang so low
And have you not heard what rumors are saying
Chemical free and safe so our cheeks are not chaffing

Oh we must tell mother we shall we need to
She would not say no to a whole nights sleep for you
No more hassel with putting a diaper on without a light
This is finally an idea she will think is right

We can stop with the trying those revamped and restamped
For we know that they are just going to leave us damp
Out with the cloth, out with the hyped up and out with the failed trials
Finally onto something right that will give our mom smiles

Dry Bottoms are a thing of the past.

All day long we try to swaddle in cloth,
But at night alas,
Baby's wet to his socks,
An overnight diaper,
A solution at last,
So Mother and Father can sleep till eight past,
Peace came at such a low low price,
To our pockets and our forests,
No more rolling the dice!

Go to sleep!

Go to sleep baby girl,
go to sleep! go to sleep!
Don't make a sound baby girl
not a peep! Not a peep!

Mommy's so tired
she's about to weep!
Please baby girl,
go to sleep, go to sleep.

Go to sleep baby girl,
Get some rest, it's the best!
Sleep baby girl,
like a bird in a nest

Tomorrow's a new day,
I do say you can play,
But for now could you
please hit the hay?

You've had kisses and hug,
You sweet cuddlebug,
Now sleep sweet and sleep tight
Like a bug in a rug.

Mommy might clean,
she might sew, she might sweep,
If her sweet precious girl
would just go to sleep.

Mommy Gets No Sleep

For Mommy there is no sleep;
our toddler does weep and weep,
when in the middle of the night,
he wakes up with a fright.
Up the stairs and turn on the light,
Mommy sees a wet toddler and a wet bed.
Down the stairs we are lead,
"I went TEETEE!" is all he said.

After changing his diaper again,
he's falling asleep (AMEN!)
Since his bed is not clean,
and in my sheets he is between,
There he stays to sleep the night,
and finally everything is alright.

Sleep, my dear child

A night of sleep for this mama?
I'd never ask for anything more.
I'd scrub the floors
I'd dust and mop
I'd even eat at IHOP.

What a wonderful night

What a wonderful night when we hear not a sound
A sleeping babe is all we want round
A clean dry diaper is the key to sleeptime bliss
When mom and dad want a wink not to miss
So send through those diapers, I'll try anything I can
To get a good night's sleep again!

Sleepy girl

Sleepy girl, sleepy girl, it's time for bed,
It's time to lay down your sweet little head.
Teeth are brushed, they are shiny white,
And now it is time to say good night.
Clean diaper is on, and Jammies zipped up,
Then you ask me to fill your water cup.
You give me a sad look,
Then I say, "one more book..."
Prayers are said and we hug,
Oh how I love you, my ladybug.
Sleepy girl, sleepy girl, you get some sleep,
Fingers crossed to have no leaks!

The simple joy of Sleep.

The simple joy of a full night's Sleep.
To go all the night without a peep.
No fussing, or crying,
No awake there lying,
thinking maybe she'll quiet back down.
But knowing I'll be getting up with a frown.
To not have to make the blurry eyed trip upstairs,
to go and check on her underwears.
To have a diaper that last's all the night,
and made without chlorine which gives me a fright.
Yes made safe for the earth and my daughter too,
That would be a dream come true.

A Simple Request I Ask of the Best

"If I ran the world," said this mother so sleepless,
"Then, tonight, and all nights, would be nights so peep-less
No tossing or turning, no diapers to change.
No stinky wet sheets to wash and arrange."

"Why can't there be diapers that don't spring a leak?
And aren't filled with chemicals, my interest is piqued.
There are wonders of science so fine and so fair
And flying fazooms that whizz through the air."

"My baby most dear has been lacking his sleep.
His mother, hardworking, lays counting her sheep.
Please Seventh Generation, come rescue me!
I'm so sick of waking to a babe covered in pee!"

"My query is simple- a diaper most fair
Made of soft, recycled fibers, not air.
Just as gentle, yet tough as the others you make
But for these, help them last a night, with me un-awake."

"Oh wait! They exist! My prayers aren't for naught
Here are the very diapers I sought!
Seventh Generation now makes overnights and I am now free
Now, forgive me, as I go dance with great glee!"

I love you my dear, but sleep

I love you my dear, but sleep you must
This time you you will do so and not kick and fuss

Your Daddy and I sure could use some rest
We are quite exhausted so please try your best

With a whole night of sleep we would jump we would cheer
we would feel so much better than we have this whole year

So now it's time to tuck you in nice and tight
I hope we can all get some sleep tonight.

I heard the alarm for the very first time...

It is 5 am and awake are my eyes
here i lie waiting for cries

to go to my daughter i am ready
to change the wet dipe on a girl so groggy

sleep she would if only she was dry
sleep i would have if she didn't cry

but wait i hear not even a peep
I think I'll roll over and go back to sleep!

O/N diapers

Due to Seventh Generation overnight diapers
I’m happy to convey,
That my toddler’s 12 hour sleep
Does not end with pee all astray.
It stays in her diaper
And not on her sheet,
Not on her pajamas
Or even her feet.
Since the pee does not wander
I need not launder.
We can save the world,
With the Lorax,
One diaper at a time.
He’s an environmental friend
Of both yours and of mine.

A PEEP FREE PLEA!

Sleep without a peep you say!
Sleep without a peep!~
Oh how I dream of a whole nights
sleep without a peep!

No leaky diapers to cause a fright!
No cries out in the middle of the night!

OH PLEASE! I REALLY NEED A PEEP FREE SLEEP!

Yes, I am the Mother.

Yes, I am the Mother who speaks for the boys, which you seem to be thinking don't make lots of noise.

But I'm also in charge of the nightime routine, which plays such a role in the Mother's drinking wine. A night without a peep means the wine she can keep! In the refrigerator for company, of course.

Now, thanks to your diapers which promise this wish, Mother can wake without a hangover to dish.

A boy & a girl Have no reason

A boy & a girl
Have no reason to twirl
For, at night
They get wet & create such a sight.
The boy, he will sleep all 12 hours.
But his bladder, I'm afraid, does not have such powers.
His p.j.'s & sheets - soaked 'cuz his diaper has failed
And his self-esteem, I'm quite sure, has ailed.
The girl has had her fair share of wet nights.
I don't want it to be a habit. She fights.
With Seventh Generation diapers so clear & free,
I'm happy to show my kids how nice a dry night can be!

There were 2 little boys That

There were 2 little boys
That had so many toys
They wore themselves out
And started to shout
We will go to bed
We want to rest our head
But our bottoms they our sore
Then mama said "look no more"
I have a new diaper here
It is free and clear
Will last you all night
Bedtime was no longer a fight!

Who has the time...

Who has the time to rhyme,
when your son is ready to play?

Who has the time to rhyme,
when he confuses night with day?

I sure thought life was busy before,
as I the lights, and softly shut the door...

And wonder, just wonder, if he might...
finally sleep for more than 2 hours at a time, preferably 12.

Oh sleep, oh sleep, oh where can you be?
It seems you've escaped me, by my tot under 3

Oh tot, my sweet tot
Stay in your bed if you please
Don't come into my bed
and climb onto my knees

Oh Mommy, Oh Mommy
my bed is so bare
your bed is much softer
I want to play with your hair

Someday you'll be big, tot
you'll learn to stay put
you'll sleep in your big boy bed
and Mommy's eyes will finally shut!

Oh Wyatt

Oh Wyatt my boy, 
Oh Wyatt my dear,
I'm coming terribly close to losing my mind I fear.

You're so sweet in the daytime,
So smiley and kind,
But when the sunshine goes down, you're out of your mind.

You eat and you fidget,
You waggle and widget,
You're my very own tiny ninja midget.

I love you sweet boy, that's truer than true,
But its time to sleep,
Do it for me, if not you.

Apologies to Wocket in my Pocket

Did you ever have the feeling
there's a dreamer
in your screamer?

That perhaps
just maybe,
there's a napper
in your baby?

Or a sleeper
in your creeper?

Well, that's the kind of house I live in
and I hope I never leave it.
