Regression

Months ago, Caleb went 36 hours
Without soiling his diaper.
I was very pleased.

Since the holidays, he has regressed,
And I am again responsible for changing
Stinkiness. I don’t like it.

Today, having wrestled him down
And wiped and wiped him,
He squirmed away and sat up.

And promptly peed all over my bed.
He’s never done that before.

Five sons later, I still don’t have this gig down.
