Oh Crap! (Literally)

Funny story I thought I would post very quickly. Sunday was a fun day at our house. I stayed at home with the three boys due to runny noses and coughs, while Gary took Karly to church with him. I was exhausted and decided a nap was in order. So I knew Gary would be home in about an hour, and asked Kaleb if he would keep an eye on Tanner and Evan for me. Of course, every mom knows that we pay a price for our "alone time" and I definately did. I woke up many times before Gary got home and at one point noticed tanner streaking across the hall. I asked kaleb to put a diaper on him for me and then went back to sleep. When Gary got home, I was still pretty exhausted so I continued my nap. When I woke up, I hurried through the house cleaning up the disaster the kids left behind. My sister and her man was coming soon and I promised to make them dinner. As I neared the kitchen, I spied a poopy diaper and threw it in the trash. Then I saw my son Tanner streaking once again through the house. I asked him where his diaper was and he said he didn't know. Then I asked if he was poopy and he said yes. I went to get him and smelled something so awful I wanted to puke. I immediately ran upstairs-one of the few places carpeted in my home- and walked into his room to the horror before me. There was squishy poop-remember he had been sick- not in just one place, but several. I think he decided to have a parade through his side of the room and poop along the way. As I was cleaning it, my sister arrived and very chivalrously offered to help. She and I scrubbed and picked up glops of poo for about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, I had my husband give Tanner a very cold shower-which he screamed through the whole time-to disuade him from ever taking off his diaper again. Hopefully I haven't screwed up the potty training in the future. Anyway, it gets worse. As we are cleaning Inotice small fragments of poop everywhere like a trail towards the door. Evan was standing against the train table in the room and I asked Kaleb to come get him before he got into the mess. Well, my sister notices he looks a bit strange with the mess around his mouth and inbetween his fingers. I asked Kaleb to smell it-there was no way I would do that-since he's a boy and easy to entice. Yep, my baby had crawled through the poo and wiped it on his face-I am still not able to allow myself to play with the idea that he may have eaten the poo. Anyway, we cleaned him up and he seems to be fine. YUCK!!YUCK!!YUCK!!! What we go through as moms.
