WARNING: TMI
Well the past 2 weeks have had a major theme, a gross theme, but a definite theme. Poop. Yup, its been interesting. I had a lot of those diaper changing moments where you have to think "Okay, how am I going to tackle this one" because there is poop on their front, their back, and their legs. these are the tough issues moms have to deal with.
Olivia has been clogged up pretty much from birth so we escaped diaper blow outs for a long time. Last week everyone had a stomach bug, so she was pooping quite blastily. Then I changed her formula this week and it has become normal baby poop. This means pretty much daily we have an outfit blow out. I don't know what it is about my girls but both of them have a real propensity to blow out full outfits no matter what diapers they have on! One instance she had it all up her back so I got all her clothes off and she was laying on her tummy so I could clean her off and then all of a sudden she rolls onto her back and then back over to her tummy and then back onto her back! Full barrel roll! She had to pick that specific time, spreading poop all over as she rolled, she was pretty shocked with herself.
I have been experimenting with potty training Harper this week, it has gone pretty well all and all. We will go full throttle next week, pray for me! She had a naked day and seemed to enjoy that and did pretty well all day. However about 5 minutes before Blake got home she decided to go in the other room and make a little mess on the floor. She told me about it and I grabbed my rag and Lysol. Luckily it was just a tiny little bit, I thought PHEW! Then I check Harper and somehow she has poop smeared all over her rear and all over her dress she was wearing and now it is all over the potty! I did a bunch of cleaning up and lysoling and explaining why we don't do that and Blake came home to find a naked happy Harper and a "pooped" mom.
Next i decided to experiment with her wearing underwear. We went to Target and I let her pick out her own underwear. She was SO EXCITED about it! She carried her Dora underwear around the store proudly telling every stranger we walked by that she was getting Dora underwear so she can potty. We got home and she insisted on putting them in the washing machine herself and then putting them in the dryer. It was pretty cute how excited she was about it. What was really not cute was the enormous mess the next day was! I cleaned 3 pairs of undies she had decided to poop in, not fun at all, that pursuit ended by 1 o clock! Today I decided it was diaper time again, well that didn't save me either. I was working on the computer and I look up to see Harper with the contents of her diaper all over her shirt and her back and her pants. UGGGHH! So I evaluated the best way to tackle the situation, We ended up with poop all over her back and hair and she ended up with an early afternoon bath! It was after this last disaster that I thought I have to write a blog post about this, as gross as it all is...





Pretty darn gross. Kids are disgusting:) Good luck with potty training! It'll be a nice change when she catches on! One less diaper to change is always a good thing!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! that is a lot of poop! I bet she'll pick up potty training quick!
ReplyDeletebaha so glad you posted this. sick sick sick. good luck with the rest of potty training!!! glad you're missing V Day this year??!
ReplyDeleteWell, I am not sure that I am glad that I checked in to see if there were any new blog postings....pretty disgusting, but in the long run worth it. It sounds like Harper is either clogged up or having blow outs every five minutes. Isn't motherhood wonderful? Maybe you could share this if they ever ask you to speak on Mother's Day. They won't ask you again....
