Horror

What do you do when your baby is happily splashing around in the tub after hair, tummy and toes have been washed and rinsed when all of the sudden, the splashing stops and the tub goes still? And you see it. You see your clean baby playing in a tub of water and ........................................................................................................................................................................................wait for it..........................................................
POOP!

You scream of course. And call for your husband who holds the wet baby up so you can get the residual poo off of her sweet little bum. And then you stare at the tub and wonder how in the heck you clean that up. Fish out the poo first? That requires touching poo water but if you drain the water first, you run the risk of poo clogging up the drain. Either way you gotta touch poo water so basically, you're screwed. We opted to drain the water first and clean the tub after the crime scene dissipated a bit. Actually JD cleaned up while I slowly dressed Beatrice in the other room.

After eleven months of all sorts of poo encounters, I have never not known what to do. Until tonight. Poo floating in a tub with a clean baby is out of my realm of expertise. Thankfully, JD was quick to act and the situation was under control in a matter of minutes before anyone got hurt. Beatrice was not fazed.

  1. I'm jinxing myself by admitting this, but we have not yet had a bath-poo incident yet. But I've been worried it would happen and still have no clue what I would do!
