the joys of motherhood

so for those of you easily grossed out, please feel free to stop reading this post at this point....

you're still here? ok, here goes

My dad was here visiting for the week last week. On Thursday we went out to dinner and then came home to do the whole bathtime/bedtime routine. Prior to getting in the tub, Blake soiled his diaper (I'll pretty up the language). I thought "oh good, now were free and clear to get into the tub." Well just a few minutes into the bath Blake "soiled" the tub too. I didn't know what to do, so I just pulled him out and started draining the tub- you have to clean it after that, you know?

So while I went down the hall to get the cleaner, he started crawling after me and I realized "OMG, he's peeing in the hall!" Now I have two messes to clean up and how do you decide which one to do first. Well, the choice was made simple for me for as I was moving him back into the bathroom (where the was a towel on the floor) I noticed him sitting on the floor pooping (I forgot I was using the word soiling, wasn't I). So now there is a pile of pee, a pile of "soil" (in a different spot) and the tub full of mess. I picked him up and put him in the back shower and shut the door until I could clean everything up, then I gave him a quick shower and off to bed. YUCK, right?

Well, that wasn't it. As I checked in on him later that night I smell something funny in his room- yep, turns out he had thrown up in bed too. Delightful.

So as most of you that read this have kids, I'm sure it's funny (it is when it isn't happening to you) and those of you that don't have kids (if you're still reading) must just think it's gross. oh well
