A Moment that smells
Before I start this story, I must let you in on a detail. Tadpole and I share the hide-a-bed. It’s easier to nurse when I can just go back to sleep. Especially as he still is waking up to eat at night. He does have a playpen he sleeps in during the day, but at night, with me nursing, it’s a lot easier to just have him sleep with me.
Now, that being said, this morning, I wake up to this cute guy pulling at my mouth wanting to explore my teeth and generally pull my lips into directions they were never designed to be pulled in. I say good morning and smile at him and he smiles back and gives me his version of a good morning kiss. Then he gets this very, very concentrated look of distress on his face. I hear various noises and I realize that he’s just filled his britches but good. Which is great as he was due for a good dirty diaper….so to speak. My daughter, who will be leaving for school soon asks me something and I answer her. I look back at Tadpole as I hear him whimper and see chocolate all over his face and him looking at me as if he just tasted something not so good. I realize that it wasn’t chocolate and he busted his diaper all over himself, me and the bed.
*laughter*
You may ask how in the world I could start laughing as my infant is sitting there tasting his own poop, but I couldn’t help myself. I ask E to bring me the babywipes, not bothering with a diaper because we were both heading to the shower. I’m still laughing as I remember the time we caught one of my little sisters when she was about 18 months or so pulling off her diaper so she could sample her own creation. It’s also sort of funny to try and clean your child while he’s busy licking his own fingers and making a huge mess all over his face.
I have so much laundry to do this morning…but before I possibly lose this blog, I had to gross you guys out this morning and hopefully make you laugh too.
I know I certainly needed it. LOL

I am sure that my brother will figures something out so the blog is not lost entirely. It may just have to be post poned for a little while.
On a side note, I know that John is very pleased with Alex sticking with the wrestling and wanting to continue in sports. If he needs anything for his sports, email me. If Erica wants to get involved in a sport or karate or dance or something like that, I am sure we would not mind making the equipment costs their christmas/birthday/etc gifts. I hated the fact that I never got to do dance or anything esle because we couldn’t afford it. I know money will be tight until Karel gets this worked out and you finish school (by the way, I am so proud of you…not that it matters). I don’t want A and E’s activities curtailled because of it.

Both my babies slept in bed with me for the better part of a year. It definitely is a lot easier for nursing! And I think they’re happier next to their mom, and sleep better than babies in cribs.
But I’m really, really glad that neither of my girls got into their messy diapers. I think I just got lucky, there.
