Warning: Stereotypical Mom Blog Post

So Maria wrote a great post the other day about Mommy bloggers and related how she can't stand reading boring posts like what your kid ate for breakfast. In my comment, I agreed that I don't like reading the mundane details of other's lives unless they're funny. Like if your kid eats dog poop for breakfast, that's blogworthy.

And on that note.....

The baby's eczema has been really bad for the last few weeks. His cheeks are red and chapped and he's been prone to terrible diaper rash. So we've been giving him as much commando time as possible. He poops at almost the exact same time every mid-morning (and only then), so I am comfortable letting him be diaper free much of the time.

So this morning, when he woke up at 5:30am, I fed him and took off his diaper.

You know where this is going...

An hour and a half later, when everyone else was waking, I heard him cooing and went to get him out of the crib.

Yeah, the mid-morning poop came a few hours early. He was covered head to toe. And face. And mouth.

Yum.

Oh.
My.
LAWD!

I think I would have gaged my way thru clean up.

Of course, being a scrapper, I would have taken a pic!

Eew!

Thanks for the stereotypical mom post. It cracked me up.

Yummy. We had a similar debacle today. Lucky for both of us. Hey. Do you mind if I steal your meme graveyard sign? I need stuff for the new site.

Hmmm, this sounds vaguely familar. Ask baby's Daddy if your blog brings back any memories for him... Can you guess where this is going... think Cloville Avenue...think about a young, impressionable sister waking up in the am only to find a certain someone cooing & yup, you guessed it... one hand in the diaper digging for 'gold' the other hand COVERED in s**t and totally shoved in his mouth! The horror! Guess the apple didn't fall far from his tree...

That just made me shutter from head to toe.

We escaped any awful poop stories with number one, but now that we're trying for number two, we are opening the way for that to be remedied.

Yuck. So, did you take teenage bribery photos?

Ew. Just. Ew. *shudder*

Ewww? I'm so glad those kind of days are long past for me.

Laura said...

ohhhhh ewwwwwwwww yucky!

I have grandsons...there are many poop debacles. It cracks me up every time...at least as long as the debacle doesn't happen while I am solo with them.

LunaNik said...

OMG...I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. This has never happened to me...yet...knock on wood. However, my kids make a regular thing of undressing while in the crib, and deconstructing their diaper so that those little absorbant, silicone ball thingies are EVERYWHERE.

P.S.
So glad you're a CVS convert! Just wait until you get really, really good at it and then you will be AMAZED at what you can bring home for under $1!!

AND MOUTH.
BAAAAAAAARF.

I just shuddered. Lucky you! And with your supersonic pregnancy nose smelling abilities, I'm sure that was an ABSOLUTE JOY to clean up.

And this is why I have always feared the commando. Hell, it's why I fear letting my oldest wear underpants to bed. Even though she hasn't a poop accident ever. Thank you for justifying my laziness.

Shelle said...

I've totally been there and DONE that...and there could have been a PRE-WARNING because i was totally enjoying what I was putting in my mouth BEFORE I read the post :)

and I'm totally a stereo typical mom blogger...I suck!
