I Told You This Would Be Comical

Good News! The kids slept in, which meant that I snoozed an extra hour or so myself! I think that is where the good news from this morning comes to an end! Belle started stirring, so I hopped out of bed to make her a bottle before she started crying so Cooper could sleep a little longer. I brought her out to the family room and started feeding her. She does her wiggle, wiggle, shake, shake move that means she has a burp. I tip her up and BLAH she pukes all down my pj's. Yuck. She started crying for her bottle, so I propped it up for her to eat while she was in the swing so I could go change. I peaked in Coop's room and he was still sleeping! Belle was making some more uncomfortable noises and so I grabbed her back up and burped her... this time I had protected myself! I wasn't taking any chances!



Fast forward 30 minutes... I'm sitting here watching some dull morning show and eating my cheerios. Belle is in her Bumbo chair just chatting away at this firefly rattle. I hear stirring in Cooper's room and could hear his little feet coming down the hall. He pop's his head around the hall corner....


GROSS!

He has something white smeared all over his head, chest, and of course, his hands. I'm was sitting there having insane flashbacks from the vaseline incident. Ever since then, I've been extremely cautious about the items that we leave within Cooper's reach in his room. Obviously, I had left something that he could get. Did I also happen to mention that he was butt naked?! That little turkey. So, I head to his room to investigate. Once I got to his room, there was NOTHING in there! What the heck did he get into? Just as that thought crossed my mind, I saw the soaked diaper from last night that he obviously took off of himself. I remember that I had put some Triple Paste on his little toosh last night because it was looking like the beginnings of a rash...

DOUBLE GROSS!
He was playing with diaper rash ointment out of his urine-soaked diaper! I grabbed him up and stuck him right in the bathtub... scrubbing him head to toe!

I think I might start duct-taping his diapers on him at night time.

I'm getting the 'oh thats nasty chills' just writing this. There's just something wrong about that boy playing with something that came out of his diaper... although, I'd take diaper rash ointment over something else that could have come from his diaper! **Shudder**

So, that was my morning... Belle is still in his Bumbo and Cooper is clean as a whistle watching Teletubbies. I suppose its my turn to shower and get all of this baby puke washed off!

I never thought I'd have something this good for my second post!

Nice work Cooper! I have two nephews and one went through a diaper diving phase. Be happy it wasn't POOP! That's probably next I'm afraid. Nicholas would practically paint with it - yuck!

FYI - My sister found the best way around this - make sure he sleeps in a onesie, so he can't stick his hands down his pants...
