Early Morning surprise
This morning was eventful with Sweet Pickles. She called for us loud and clear, with a loud aaaaaaaaaahhh!!!!, at 6:15 in the morning. I was beat as we'd had friends over for a delicious pot roast dinner last night, but when General Bearious calls Reveille you have to be a good foot soldier and attend to her. Well, she was in a delightful mood, and I took her in the spare bedroom to cozy with her for a half hour. She was very vocal, calling out raaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! and singing to me where she basically vocalizes out loud for 30 seconds. In the middle of this she let out a fart, but I didn't think anything about it. After a half hour I was going to take her down to see Mommy for bubba, and I told her it was time to change her diaper. She was wearing flannel oversuit foot pajamas and then lightweight pajamas underneath. When I took off the oversuit I saw an ominous sign: a water mark on her belly button. It could mean only one thing: blowout. As I lifted her shirt, there was poop everywhere, and I don't know how she does it, but she immediately reached down and got her hand in it. Ugh. I took her in the bathroom and she is just smiling and loving it. Poop all over my shirt which I have to take off - I get her pants off poop everywhere - now on her hands, the rug, the side of the tub, me. And she is just having a grand time of it all. We are both down to underwear - it is like a scene from Lord of the Flies. I clean her up with about 25 wipes and dump her in the tub. This apparently was the most awesome thing I could do for her. She is hollering and squealing with delight the whole time while I smell like a sewer. Even being very tired, I can help but laugh at her. Even in a very stinky situation her unbridled happiness is infectious. I wash her while she is trying to do her kicks and get her out and get her dressed. She is kicking and rolling as if this is a special surprise Daddy gave her. I love that Bear.
