the job of a mommy


so, as i'm cleaning up lunch today, i look over to find amelia eating something off the floor. this is not uncommon, but i had just cleaned the floor so i looked a little closer. actually, it was the smell that caught my nose. it didn't take long to realize that poop had literally spilled out of her pants onto the floor and she was eating it. YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so, where do you start the clean up?????? i rinsed her mouth out as best i could, removed her from the poop pile, stripped her down, bathed her, and started ANOTHER load of laundry (i had just finished all the laundry yesterday:) and we wonder why it is that we mommies seem to get nothing done during the day. this is a tribute to all you other mommies out there that are cleaning up messes all day long too.

Oh, awesome picture! It makes me want to gag, but great picture all the same. I am actually very happy that in the midst of all that poop, you took time to get your camera! That's a mommy for ya! Happy Cleaning:)

That is so nasty! Way to document it for her! I can't believe she was eating it too. Ewww! Can't wait to see you next week!!

Kind of like when Zain was a baby...got him out of the bath and wrapped a towel around him and laid him on the floor. Go to get some jammies and come back to find him up on all fours eating something. Yeah he pooped and was eating his own recycled black beans!!!! I don't think he has eaten them much since. Yuck. I thought I could probably never kiss his little mouth again, but I got over it eventually. Just another day at work...
