This morning while I was mid-diaper change with Emily, she pooped. But it wasn't just a regular poo.... it shot out of her cute little bum all over my arm
{covering my arm from mid forearm to mid bicep!} and onto the floor
5 feet away! I know this because instead of helping clean me off Shep ran to get a tape measure to assess her projection distance. ;)
Well that's one way to wake up in the morning! But honestly, who could get mad at a cute little face like this?!
It amazes me that things I never thought I'd be able to tolerate or even discuss before seem like ordinary life now! I've never used the word "poop" as much in my 30+ years of living as I have over the past 6 weeks. I'm normally
a little very squeamish when it comes to anything remotely "yucky".... and it's shocking to me that having most of my arm covered in human waste was no big deal! It's a good thing that my skin is a little bit thicker now
{no pun intended} ... dealing with poop, puke and who-knows-what-else is part of my job description and daily life now! Honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. I'd do anything for my little kissy face.
So Emily is 21" tall and her poop landed 5 feet away. That would be the equivalent of a 6 foot tall adult being able to poop 17 feet away.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! This exact same thing happened to me once when my son was a baby. It was crazy how far that poop shot out, covering me and the kitchen cabinets behind me, also a good four-five feet away!! But you're right, who could get mad at a sweet little face like that? She is surely a little beauty! May the adventures in babyhood continue!!! XO
