Doody Duty

The things they don't tell you about in the parenting books are often the more funnny or interesting or disgusting things. Or maybe I'm just not reading many of them (only 1 actually) Tonight Mariana was being a bit fussy. She didn't want to eat much and she was more impatient than usual but I thought that bath time would perk her up. She always has fun in the tub. I got the bath all ready as usual; soap, got the towel ready, dumped some toys in the water and we're good to go. Only step left is to lose the diaper and get in. It was full of poop. Ah no wonder why she didn't want to eat. A big load in your pants will do that to you. I clean her all up nice nice and we get in the tub. Scarcely a few splashes in and she stands up is making kind of a serious face and she feels kind of hot. I started to think she was coming down with something until I spied over her shoulder the sight of my bare leg with little spots on it. On closer inspection there was what looked like a rotten black banana floating in the water. My first thought was "how the hell did I not see that when I filled up the tub?" It's hard to believe that it took me a full 5 seconds before I realized that my sweet little daughter had made a doody in the water. Hilary!! Help!! We hosed her off then hosed me off then hosed the tub down. Wow, that's nasty. No wonder she was acting weird- she needed to go, a lot. Wasn't it me who just last week was posting pictures of Mariana in the tub and writing about "parent revenge"? HA! Mariana always gets the last laugh. We came downstairs and flipped around youtube to see some funny videos for Mariana to calm down, sit still and drink her nighttime milk. We randomly came upon this video here:
