Poop Painting!

I'll keep this short to keep all your gag reflexes in order. So you don't barf, like I almost did. But my kid painted all over his crib with his poo! Too many blueberries resulted in an early morning diaper explosion up and out of jammies. A little too much alone time in his crib that day meant he discovered some new form of creativity with his messy, blueberry poo.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!

I know this can happen (my mother has told the story of when my brother did this for the last 30+ years) but it never happened to kid #1 so I was unprepared for the joy and sanitizing that lay ahead.

I can wipe up crap from a diaper like a champ and my cleaning up puke ability is stellar since becoming a mother. But when poop is somewhere else, a place it should NOT be, it's rather unsettling.

One can possibly handle poop on the crib, poop on the sheets and poop on his books. Yuck. But when there is poop smeared on your son's FACE? Under his nails? In his hair.... what's a good mother to do?

Bathe him, yes. Immediately.

The question that looms - did he eat it?

How will I know? It's not like it will show up alarmingly in his diaper like an eaten penny or bauble. It will blend in, like, well, more poop.

Sigh..... I think blueberries are banned.
