Poop Happens

Lovely title isn't it? It pretty much sums up what happened this morning. Isaac and Cardale both woke up crying this morning. So, I carried Isaac downstairs to get his milk and Cardale's bottle. I noticed Isaac had peed thru his pj's, so I went to change his diaper. Of course, no diapers downstairs. I took his diaper off him and thought he'd be ok while I made Cardale's bottle. BIG MISTAKE. I went back in the room and Isaac was staring at a pile of poop on the carpet. I was a little upset, but not a big deal-just cleaned it up. Cardale was still crying upstairs so I left Isaac and went to get Cardale and some diapers. I come back down and Isaac is crying. Sure enough Isaac is sitting on the floor with MORE poop on the carpet and now it's on his feet, hands and face. Horribly disgusting!! Seriously, in the 3 minutes I left you alone you had to poop again?! So I'm cleaning him up while he's crying and Cardale is crying as well b/c he just wants his bottle and then Caleb starts yelling, "Mommy, can you open the gate, I have to go potty!" Fabulous. Can I go back to bed now?

Thankfully God is merciful and we made it thru the rest of the morning without any more poop or Mommy meltdowns.:) When I told Nate the story, his response was something along the lines of "poop happens?" A fitting title indeed. :)

You poor girl! Yucky, yucky, yucky! Glad you survived. Nothing like a good poop story. BTW your nephew is beautiful! Thanks for sharing the pic.

Your story was the icing on the cake so to speak. After spending a week with Mike and Colleen, I thought we had covered every poop story! What a hoot!! Sorry you had to do all the clean-up. I was reminiscing about the time I came to visit you in NY after Caleb was born. He was about the same age as Jack and just as cute. Thanks for your good sense of humor. It made my day.

Oh, Stacy! I'm so sorry...that's not a good way to start the day. I'm glad that you were able to see the light-hearted side of things eventually. :)

I could just cry in empathy!

Maybe we now know what inspired the author of the ever-famous book "everyone poops." Good story, though!
