Beware all ye who enter here
Remember how I said yesterday this blog was about me?
Well, I actually should have said this blog is about Dallin and his poop.
It started so innocently. I stripped him down to eat his lunchtime pasta...similar to Spaghetti O's in color, but not so packed with preservatives. He made an exceptionally large mess...put his face down all the better to eat his pasta with, so he had an orange nose, forehead and round little cheeks.
I was snapping pictures of my little Jack O' Lantern when under the orange, he turned red. Great, I thought, even more to wipe off him.
Maybe Rite Aid brand diapers weren't such a good idea after all.
Well, not only did my son need to be cleaned up, his highchair needed to be disassembled and BLEACHED.
His little toosh was red and sore, so I let him go wild and free while I cleaned up the rest of his lunch and poop smears....as I hardly need add, against my own better judgment. He's peed around the house before, after all.
WHO REALLY WOULD HAVE EXPECTED HIM TO POOP?! AGAIN?!!!!!
I turned to find him spreading his legs, adding to a pile of disgustingness that was already on the rug. Another foot and it would have been on the linoleum. But no. It had to be on the rug, which not only is a household item I really like, it was also a wedding gift from some very dear and special friends.
Oh, and WHO REALLY WOULD HAVE EXPECTED HIM TO STEP IN IT AND GRIND IT INTO THE RUG?!
I grabbed him by his skinny little arms and whisked him away to the bathtub, where he happily played while his Mommy scrubbed poop out of the fibers of the rug.
In the meantime, he also contented himself by pulling the splash guard towel Mommy put down into the tub with him (I'm feeling a strange sense of déjà vu).
And here I thought working with special needs children in a Romanian orphanage had prepared me for any grossness I may encounter. Apparently the memories have faded.
I think I need to go back to Romania.

Ummm....those pictures are DISGUSTING! But I was laughing hysterically the whole time...mostly about the fact that you were taking pictures of all of the grossness while it was going on. Hey, the day can only get better, right?! :)
"OH MY GOSH", shades of your brother Sean!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, I managed to live through it, but then again I ONLY had one son. Got to love my grandson!!!! I laughed so hard I nearly fell off the chair. I hope he doesn't do that when he is living here this summer....the green carpet downstairs might look like lawn to him and if he is like his uncle, all the better to pee on!
Oh my. I chuckled at the censorship spot! I guess this prepares you for potty-training!!
Yikes! I'll take my non-napping 7-month-old today. Treat yourself to a bubble bath or something after he goes to bed.
Yes, I agree! I'll go! (I'd even sleep on the couch again!)
Oh, my goodness, that is quite a story. I have to admit, even though those are some nasty pictures, I was laughing my head off. I'm sorry.
When I read this post all I could think was "OH MY GOSH, WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!!" thanks for keeping it real, I'm sure we'll be trading poop storiees in no time. yay?
Ah, now I SEE what all the buzz was about. I'm gagging over here! Sheesh. You crack me up!!
