Mama Said There'd be Days like This....

So we started the day off great... just after nursing Dylan, Kaleb climbed up on my lap and all three of us were cuddling, rocking, happy, and smiling. These are the moments I love being a mother, I thought!

Fast forward 6 hours and yeah...let's just say it's been a pretty poopy day. LITERALLY! I was on the phone with Bri, sweeping the floor, when K said he needed to go potty. We run to his bathroom only to find he'd already gone (an adult sized poo, I swear) and it is now all down his legs, in his pants, on the toilet & the floor. Lovely. I seriously need to get this kid potty trained, it's grossing me out!

Then about 5 minutes later, after K is all cleaned up and off busy playing, I check on Dylan. I was in the process of moving him to his swing so I could finish mopping, when I decided to check his diaper. He recently started cereal and has been holding it in and only going once every 3-4 days. Well I have seen some poopy messes before (having already been through one boy and 4 brothers) but this topped them all! Somehow baby liqui-poop ended up all over his clothes, arms, legs, back, my hands, the pottery barn changing cover that I love, the lotion pump, the wipes dispenser....everything! Ben & I usually measure how bad it really is by how many wipes we have to use to clean it up, but this one I lost track. I decide there cannot possibly be anything left in this baby of mine, so I strip him down and put him in his crib naked while I clean up the disastrous changing area and start the laundry. Two minutes go by and I come back to check on Dylan, sure enough pee all over himself, a few toys, and his crib sheets. SUCH A BOY!

I'm not so sure my mama said there'd be days like this, but I guess I'm glad she didn't. Thanks for letting me vent and for listening to all the grody details!!! :0) Btw... my middle's definitely sagging on this one and Ben is bringing me home a DP... diet, or no diet!

Oh yes, I have had many days like that! It is funny how it seems like stuff like that always happen on the same day. I hope that Ben brought you some caffeine home and that the night got easier for you!
