TOTT and I are midgets...errrr...small people.
Hanging with Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell. Like ya do.
Someone call Alanis because I've got a new one for her song. An actual ironic moment. Not just bad luck, or poor planing. Actual irony. But more on that in a minute.
There is something about NYC that usually makes me want to take a Xanax. Since I'm a bad weaner, Xanax isn't an option right about now. Curse you Xanax and your non-safe-for-nursing-relaxingness!
Let me just tell you, that if you need to hit NYC may I recommend you arrive as the guests of the fantastic Huggies team. When I received the email asking me if we would like to attend the Huggies Jeans Diaper fashion show and inviting Max to be in the fashion show, I was like...hold on let me check my sched. OH HECK YEAH!! First off, Max already rocks the Huggies. Second, who doesn't want to go to NYC for a fashion show! I though I could live out some sort of 90's Carrie Bradshaw fantasy. Only instead of D&G hot pants it would be jeans diapers. The Huggies team even popped some in the mail to us so we could try them out before we got there.
I think they are adorable! I've seen some rumblings on the internet about them and to those people I say lighten up! They're diapers, they look like jeans, and they are so cute. You know I love a baby in a diaper, and this adds to it. I've always been a wee bit jealous of the adorable cloth diaper covers...why can't disposable diapering moms have some fun too? TOTT, Max and I took the train from DC armed with an Elmo video and a well stocked diaper bag full of treats. The moment our train arrived in New York my phone rang. How lovely! It was Attitude New York letting us know our car was waiting for us. Let me just tell you, hopping into a driven Escalade complete with car seat is a lovely way to roll into the city. Well done, Huggies.
We were driven to the W Hotel at Union Square, a swanky hotel which at first glance might not seem to baby friendly, but the entire staff simply couldn't have been nicer to Max, the door man and the kiddo had a nice high five or two and we were off to our room. And what a lovely room it was!
Then it happened.
We settled in and I started to clean the little tyke up before we headed off to dinner and then TOTT and his fellow producing partner were to see American Idiot. I started digging through the diaper bag, and then the suitcase feeling the panic rise as I futily searched.
It went like this:
Me: Dude. We forgot diapers!
TOTT: Who is this 'we', kimosabe?
Me: Shut it you! We. Have. No. Diapers.(I start to giggle) At a diaper event.
TOTT: It's like ray-ee-ain on your wedding day! (he starts to laugh)
Max starts to laugh too, just cause we are.
Me:(Laughing) I can't believe we are here for a diaper event and have no diapers.
TOTT: (laughing) I'll just run out and get some.
Knock.Knock.Knock.
TOTT: (confused face-answers door) Hello?
Adorable Hotel Worker Marian: Miss Dulli? Huggies would like to welcome you to New York.
She then proceeds to hand me a Skip Hop denim (natch) diaper bag. I say thank you and the moment she leaves we begin giggling again. I tear open that bag and whatdayaknow! DIAPERS! Huggies literally saves the (stinky) day! After the kid was changed and we had wiped our tears of laughter and totally rewrote Alanis' song (remind me to send it to her. It's pretty good. And features actual irony) we dug into that cute bag and whoohoo! more goodies!
Along with the diapers and bag were coupons for more free diapers (squee!) a gc to cover eating out etc. and oh yeah...a FLIP video camera.
We headed up and moved on out to meet the friends for dinner. I've no idea where we ended up, exept that it was totally YUM and featured this:

Ultra awesome super sly taken on the go pic of Uncle Jesse in several poses. How oddly awesome.
At that point I wasn't aware that Rebecca Romijn was the Celeb mom. Weird, non? (note to Alanis, NOT ironic though.)
The Huggies team even let me know that he ended up on the life.com website and he even made the Access Hollywood promo for the event. Well done, Max.
After a quick trip to the St. James theatre, Max and I were off to the hotel to catch some ZZZZ's before his big day! We started out with a lovely breakfast with our fellow bloggers who were total rockstars. I don't mean to be biased, but seriously...some outrageously adorable children amongst the bloggers. They kids quickly got acquainted as did we. Is there anything cuter than a bunch of 18 mo-2 year olds playing together?
We got the kids ready for the fashion show and then two of the tallest, most beautiful people ever walked in the room. Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell. The two of them were very nice and down to earth! Even better they seemed to genuinely like babies and were happy to interact with them. Jerry told Max that he had two little girls at home for him...so it looks like Lauren the waitress has some competition. I know I'll be the mother of the groom, but I've got some great ideas for the Dulli-O'Connell wedding.
Before you knew it we were off to the fashion show! Having done a bunch of these myself as a kid I know how hectic they are and you add babies into the mix and it's a whole lot crazier! There were a couple of mix ups, and we felt a little ummmm, second fiddle there for a second but the Huggies Team was on the case and took care of everything politely and brilliantly!
I was very proud of Max, he's done a ton of photo shoots so he's a pro with that, but this was his very first fashion show and he did very well!
The Huggies team even let me know that he ended up on the life.com website and he even made the Access Hollywood promo for the event. Well done, Max.
I wish the shirt was shorter so you could see the jeans diapers!
We had a wonderful time, and the diapers are great. We used them overnight in NY and they held up beautifully while Max slept for 11 hours! Go Huggies! (and Go Max) They fit him like a dream and I think they are cute. Why not have a little fun while keeping our little ones dry? Everytime I've asked M to bring me a diaper he's chosen the Jeans diaper so I guess he likes em too. Get em while you can cause they are only available during the summer. Thank you to Huggies for hosting us, we had a lovely time and we love the jeans diapers!

Seriously? That entire thing was just too fun and too cool. And I'm not afraid to say that I MIGHT be a wee bit jealous. I mean, NY, for free, free diapers, JERE O'CONNELL. I'm SO sure! Max was adorable, of course, but I couldn't see the diaper very well. Oh well...looks/sounds like you had a grand time! I've totally stayed at the W, it's fabulous. The beds are delicious!
So cute! He is adorable!
Looks like Max was the only one that represented the Blogger team! Little B wanted no parts of walking down the runway, lol. Had fun and great to meet you!
Oh my gosh!!! Great job, Max!! He is such a rockstar that I can hardly stand it.
I can already tell you that I will be a disposable diapering mom and I'd buy those. They are adorable.
And holy crap how tall are Jerry and Rebecca?
Max is awesome and adorable! Check him out with his brave walk. Cutie! So maybe you and Z aren't really short, but it's that Rebecca and Jerry are giants...
Cool!! Fun!! I love RR & her super-cute twins! At least you & TOTT have a sense of humor about these things, right?
BTW, is Max OK after his ER visit?? I'm dying to know what happened!
it was a blast totally glad we made the connection! looking forward to many happy returns!
What an awesome fun time for you! Max is a serious cutie!
Stopping in from SITS.
Way to go Max! I just saw those denim diapers in the store yesterday and thought they were tres chic'!
And look at you, dear Mommy, with your hand and forearm on Life.com! You model mom, you!
You totally stayed at my brother's hotel. Ok, not *his* hotel but the hotel he works at! Did you see a sweet blue eyed guy who is just the nicest person I know? If so, that was him. :) xoxox
I have always had a HUGE crush on Rebeccca Romijn, so I'm not entirely sure what happened in the rest of the post, because I couldn't really get past drooling over Ms. Romijn's loveliness and my completely over the top jealousy that someone I sorta know got to meet her but I didn't. Oh yeah, the kidlet's pretty damn cute, too. But now back to Rebecca....
