Blog Guy, we’re coming to Washington, DC in July with our small baby. Will there be places were we can change her diapers?
Sure. Just take her over to the White House. Go to the historic Cross Hall near the East Room, and look for this elegant antique bench in these photos. If there’s no bothersome president strolling by, you can try using that as a changing table.
See, that surprises me. It seems like it would be rude to change diapers at the White House.
It depends on how spunky you are. Look at this woman who was there a couple of days ago for a ceremony. She was doing the diaper change when a uniformed usher escorted her to a more suitable place.
More suitable place? Where would that have been?
Nobody knows. I don’t think she was ever seen again.

- Posted by Pregnancy blogs, baby blogs, parenting blogsthere is clearly a changing pad under that baby.
- Posted by BrianThis is great!
This is what democracy is all about.
That bench is property of the American people. The baby and the mom both look like people to me. Somebody needs to take care of the American People’s business (number 1 and number 2).
How come the politicians in DC can spread all the poop they want, but the babies they kiss when they need votes have to take it somewhere else?
Why is this news again?

- Posted by Pregnancy blogs, baby blogs, parenting blogsIt makes no difference IF someone TOLD her to just go ahead and change the baby on this antiue bench in the middle of a hall way in the White House, or not… the simple fact is she should have had alot more common sense, and decency, to have told the person NO, that it wasn’t the place to do something like that - especially given the fact that so many things could go wrong during a change — destroy the bench then what?? Ooops, sorry but it wasn’t my fault, someone told me to change the baby here?? Yeah right… common sense - you are, after all, in the White House!!!!!!! Show just a little bit of respect for your surroundings!!
