On that (smelly) note…
March has not been a very good month for me, and it all came to a head just a few minutes ago when my kids woke up from their naps.
Bug climbed down from his new bunk bed, opened the door, and heard Bean making noises in the room across from him where she had been napping. He opened the door and then came running to find me.
“Mommy, Yee yee stinks,” he informed me.
“She does? Did she poop?” I asked.
“Yeah,” he replied.
“Do you want to change her?”
“No! I not a baby diaper!”
(Which I took to mean, “No! That’s your job, nutso!”)
I walked down the hall and sure enough, the scent of poo came wafting into my nostrils. Not just any poo, either, the really messy kind.
I enter the room and there’s Bean, a serious look on her face, and no diaper on her butt. She is pointing at the diaper on the floor of the playpen.
“Mmboodisp!” she vehemently exclaims.
I interpret this as “You took too long to get here, so I took matters into my own hands, lady!”
Caked all over Bean’s butt, hands, face, clothes, blankets… everything is poop. Nasty, nasty poop.
I wiped her down, plopped her in the tub, and chucked everything she and I were wearing into the wash. Ew. Ew. Ew!
Still, I had to chuckle. March has not been friendly to me. (For instance, my Pregnancy Nightmares, Springing Forward, having to overhaul an entire short story, being sicker than sick for a large chunk of the month, and falling on my ass yesterday) So, I figure this was the perfect send off to a slightly frustrating month.
On that note… April is going to rock!
And March is out like a giant, stinky, lion. Good riddance!
Just get through April Fool’s Day, and you’ll be good as gold!
Hope April’s better for ya!
Love your blog.

Ooh! I’ve had that experience a time or two. Poo-poo painting is even more fun. Or not. Just remember to save up the story to tell when she gets older and needs to be brought down a peg or two. Hope April is better!
