poop-tastrophe!

where do i even being with this one?!

i woke up around 8am today, and lucas was still asleep. so i used my alone-time to take a shower and eat breakfast. he was still asleep when i finished with that, so i just waited for him to wake up, which i expected would be any minute.

around 9:15 i decided he needed to get up, because i had things to do. i walked upstairs and about halfway up the stairs i could smell poop.

i walked into lucas's room, and he was sitting in bed, smiling at me. then a wave of poop smell hit me, and i looked at him. it was everywhere - up his back, down his legs, on his feet, hands, even his hair. plus it was all over his sheets, animals and the bars of his crib. GROSS!

i stood him up and tried to shake the bigger pieces off of him, then laid a towel out on his changing table, trying to wet wipe most of it up. then came a bath, which he hated because i scrubbed him hard - even his face (something he cannot stand at any time). i didn't even give him his bath toys - this bath was all business.

after the bath i brought him back over to the changing table and did another once over with the wipes to make sure i didn't miss anything. brought him downstairs for a bottle, then stuck him in his play chair and went back to tackle the mess with my lysol. half a roll of paper towels and a load of laundry later (not to mention some febreeze), i think we're clean upstairs again.

as for lucas, he seemed fairly unfazed by the whole ordeal. no temperature, holding his food down, still happy - so i'm not sure if he's sick or if this morning's diarrhea was just a fluke.

either way, i bet joel is very glad he wasn't at home.
