It all starts around the 1:09 mark . . .
When GirlGeeding goes to bed, I hide Kermit and in the morning she likes to try to find him. To jazz it up a little, I made BoyGeeding’s T-Rex try to eat him and now GirlGeeding has to rescue Kermit when she wakes up. All of this kind of reminds me of those cartoons where Bugs Bunny was being cooked in one of those big black pots.
Yes, I’m a goofy dad.
About a year and a half ago Jennie Rubinshteyn and Yaroslav Faybishenko’s 1-year-old daughter was crying in the back seat of their car.
“I was being paranoid. I couldn’t stop asking myself and my husband, ‘What is in her diaper? What’s in her diaper?” Rubinshteyn, 35, told ABC News. Faybishenko responded, “Data is her diaper. Urine is full of so much health information.”
And that, the couple says, was the start of a new family business in making what they call “Smart Diapers.” No, the diapers don’t send tweets or alerts about when there’s pee or poop inside — that’s still a job for Huggies’ TweetPee app. Instead, the husband-wife team have invented a regular disposable diaper with a medical trick — it collects information about a child’s urine.
A dry-reagent panel, just like those colorful sticks you pee on at the doctor, sits on the front of the diaper. It works a lot like a QR code. Using the Smart Diapers iOS and Android app, a parent can scan the panel and see information about the urine.
*Wink, wink.
