Wipes Woes

If you've ever spent any amount of time around a newborn/infant and have had to deal with diaper changes, you've probably used one of those "fancy" wipes dispensers that's designed to keep the next wipe ready and available so you don't have to dig into the carton to get it out. And in theory, they work pretty great. But, despite having multiple diaper-changing stations set up at our house, each with its own dispenser, none of ours seem to work as designed. And it has nothing to do with the particular brand or model, but rather everything to do with a particular two-year old. A particularly "helpful" two-year old. Whether I'm changing Garrett's diaper or his own, William has to be the one to close the container of wipes when I'm done (seriously--don't try closing it on your own or be prepared to face the wrath of William). And for some reason he has decided that it is completely unacceptable to close these containers with any of the wipe sticking up and easily accessible. Not a huge deal when the container is full, but when it's getting down to the bottom? I have to waste precious seconds digging for a wipe while my always-moving two-month old (who--by the way--recently decided that he only needs to poop once a day, so when he poops, he POOPS) is trying his best to smear poop onto whatever surface I'm changing him on. So just a note to the designers of those wipes containers: Your products are pretty handy, but if you could build them to withstand the destructive forces of a well-intentioned two-year old that'd be great.
