Good Morning, Mommy...

This morning started like most but quickly changed. I walked into the boys’ room because they had just started complaining that I wasn’t getting to them fast enough (at least that’s what I thought). I immediately noticed that one of our sons (who will remain nameless) was buck naked from the waist down. I was not thrilled but did not feel concerned until I got a closer look. Unfortunately for me, the diaper was more than wet and had been thrown out of the crib. The room stunk to high heaven.

Upon even closer inspection, I realized that some of the contents had been smeared all over the sheets. I put him on the changing table and started cleaning him up and realized the extent of this mess – all the way down his legs, on his feet, on his arms and all over his hands. I explained to him that this was not okay and he was not to ever take his diaper off – I’m not sure he fully understood but he did understand that he didn’t like the feeling of all the mess. What a good morning greeting…yuck!!! (Oh and I spared you any pictures of said mess – be grateful!)

Katie did that this past winter. Nasty surprise. I didn't even know where to start in the clean-up phase. I just wanted to walk out and pretend I hadn't seen it. "Franz, could you check on Katie? I think I heard her wake up..."
