. . . wet wipes? Before our babies were born, I never bought wet wipes. I rarely even used paper towels. Rags and towels, it seemed, were all we really needed to clean up the occassional mess. Then our first daughter was born, and along with the obvious necessity of changing diapers, wet wipes came in very handy for all the new messes that turned up. I'll save readers the gory descriptions of bodily fluids, but you mommies and daddies know exactly what types of messes I'm referring to. Now that my kids are no longer babies, I wonder how I ever lived without wet wipes, even before they came along. I've got a pack in each car and in almost every room in the house now. You never know when you'll need to wipe off obnoxious face paint from your 3-year-old's face before heading to the store, etc. Don't leave home without them!
