You know parenthood has hit a new low when...

you have to scoop poop out of your child's mouth!

I realized I forgot to share our hilarious story from a few weeks ago so here goes...

We were beginning our normal bedtime routine following the twins' dinner. Abigail pooped in her diaper as her grand finale, so that put her first on the docket for bathtime. We still bathe them in the kitchen sink; our sink is big enough and it's much easier on our backs. Call us selfish if you wish. So into the water Abigail goes. I put G on the floor to play while I did "poop duty" with the cloth diaper. It was explosive, so it had to take priority. I went into the other end of the house and upon my return to the kitchen, looked down at G (whose favorite thing to do is push the chair around the kitchen)....he had poop all over his mouth from the seat of Ab's booster chair!!!!!! I was mortified, shreeked, scooped him up, put him into the other side of the sink and started hosing him off with the hand sprayer, clothes and all!!! Matt's yelling, "spray in his mouth!" so just as I have done with Boomer a thousand times before, started fishing the poop out with my fingers! Matt and I are cracking up laughing and completely grossed out at the same time! And of course we start throwing blame, "you were supposed to be watching him" and "I couldn't watch him and bathe Abs too"...all the while laughing hysterically!

So after ten minutes of thoroughly analyzing the situation, Matt realized that in order for him to have eaten the poop, there should have been poop finger trails from the seat of the chair to the edge---I'm shaking my head as I'm writing this thinking how sad it is that we had to discuss the logistics of our son eating his twin sister's poop. We finally figured out that the "poop" all over his face was the brown vitamins that we gave him after dinner and it dripped from his lips to cover his chin!!!! And yes, we stuck our noses in his mouth to ensure that it was indeed vitamins, not poop! Too funny....

Hopefully you had a good Monday belly-laugh like we did!!!
