G-L-A-M- oh, never mind....

I often joke about how being a mom has to be one of the most glamorous jobs one could have and this last week I was reminding of why that is. Sit back and enjoy my tale......

It was bath night and Brady had gotten out of the tub to go to bed and I was finishing up with Kellen when he peed in the tub. I got him out quickly and decided that he could have some "naked time". I am usually wary to trust my child without a diaper on, but I figured it was pretty safe because I knew he had just peed. So, we went downstairs and joined Hannah in the living room, where she was watching Project Runway. I was watching Kellen pretty closely because, well, he was naked! (or at least, I thought I was watching closely, I really did!) Hannah was also keeping an eye on him. Everyone knows you can't trust a naked baby. After about five minutes, I made Kellen come over and put him in his diaper and pajamas for bed. At this point, I shifted my focus away from Kellen and onto Project Runway. He was in a diaper now and needed much less supervision. A few minutes passed and Kellen came over to me like he had something to give to me, so, naturally, I held out my hand. You can imagine my surprise when he placed a fresh, warm log of poo in my upturned palm! POO!! I grabbed his hand that had had the poop in it with my empty hand and then was stuck. I cried out "Hannah, help!". Hannah sprang into action, while questioning what in the world happened and dying laughing. (she's quite the multi-tasker) Everything was swiftly cleaned up and taken care of, but we still don't know when/where he did his business. It had to have been the fastest poop ever! I am still getting over the shock of my little "present", but there are so many much, much worse ways this could have gone, I have to say I'm thankful that he just brought it to me! And that is a glimpse into my life- thankfulness for poop in my hand....and a lot of laughing!
