He Did WHAT?

Before we were mothers we probably never had the experience of being sucked on, chewed on, pinched, scratched, bitten, peed on or… pooped on! We might have minded before too. Now it seems that we’ll gladly take anything our child can throw at us and wear it like a badge of honor!

Nolan, now 9 months old, was ready for a bath. So I did the usual–get the water ready, strip him down to his diaper, get the towels and soap ready. As we all figure out pretty quickly, the diaper is the very last thing to go right before we put them in the water. I took off his diaper and walked him over to the tub. Before I could sit him down in it I felt something growing in my hand–the hand that held his little bottom. As soon as I felt it I knew what had happened. I pull my hand away, and I was holding a hand full of poop! I tossed it into the toilet and washed my hands then went back to the duties of motherhood.

Is this really what I signed up for, I asked myself. But then just looking at Nolan’s face and that two-toothed smile reminds me in one-tenth of a second that the answer is yes! This is exactly what I signed up for!

Your turn. What has your little one done that made you squirm? Post a comment. I can’t wait to read them!

1. Oh yikes!

   This isn’t nearly as cringe-worthy as your story, but my 12 month old loves to offer his food to our two dogs and let them lick his hands or food before he eats it!
