Ethan panicked.
Sophia watched from the doorway.
“Turn the diaper around.”

“The other way.”
He looked down.
Then slowly realized his mistake.
Sophia tried not to laugh.
She failed.
Ethan looked at her.
“You could have told me earlier.”
“You looked confident.”
“I was not confident.”
“You certainly looked confident.”
For a moment, they laughed together.

He never stayed longer than Sophia allowed.
He never demanded anything.
He learned.
How to feed Noah.
How to calm him.
How to recognize his cries.
