Six Weeks with Daddy – Day #5

// April 23rd, 2010 // Marriage

::630am:: It was a day like any other….and then the whole thing blew up. We started off as normal. When the baby woke up we played and talked for a little bit, changed a peepee diaper and then had our bottle. Then everything started to fall apart.

::800am:: As I’m getting dressed, I hear grunting coming from the living room. As powerful as a Daddy may be, you cannot control when your child is going to poop. (Despite my best efforts to change his poop time to the evening after Mommy gets home.) Alright, let’s change the poopy diaper. Nothing much out of the ordinary until I thought I had everything cleaned up and I realized that the poop went halfway down his back, skipped a little bit and then continued on up towards his neck. Even though I got everything cleaned with a mountain of wet wipes I felt this was a good time for him to have a bath. So we took a quick bath to wash off the poop residue….or resi-doodoo if you will.

::830am:: A clean, dressed baby = a happy baby, right? Wrong. I realized I still had a poopy diaper folded up and sitting on the counter. Today is trash day so I decided to take it outside and put in an old trash bag so I stop stinking up the house. (Yesterday I put two poopy diapers in the kitchen trash can and the house STILL smells like poop.) Mind you I’m still in my underwear at this point.

::9am:: I managed to squeeze in a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios (ironic since no one was “cheery” this morning) and getting dressed somewhere in between fits and we were off to pick up my sister so we could go visit my aunt. He was alright in the car until we stopped for gas. He doesn’t like stopping.

::930am:: He drank a bottle on the road and by the time we got to my aunt’s house he was still wide awake butt at least happy now. He was excellent during our visit. He smiled and talked the whole time.

::1015am:: Time to head back home. Today seems to be the day of little cat naps. 20 minutes here, 20 minutes there. What happened to the baby that slept for 2-3 hours every 2-3 hours all week??

::11am:: We met Grandpa for lunch at Burger King. He was excellent until I got about halfway through my double cheeseburger. Then he decided it was time to go home. I thought he had pooped so we headed for the house since we live just down the street. Turns out it was just a smelly fart. Drank another bottle and then down for a nap. Just kidding. No nap!

::1230pm:: Finally drifted off to sleep in the swing so it was time to mop the floor! I actually managed to kitchen the entire kitchen and entry way swept and mopped while he slept. My socks are wet now though because I kept forgetting the proper way to mop and end up mopping myself into a corner. Then I have to step on the wet floor to get out.

::130pm:: After a couple of close calls of waking up he dozed off again and is currently sleeping. I’m going to enter in some Pampers Gifts to Grow rewards points and then take a nap myself!
