Bathtime: A Horror Story

So the other day Hadlee and Miss Baby were taking a bath.  I was checking on them literally every 30 seconds while I did other stuff.  My husband was quite confused why I went in there 10 times in 5 minutes.  Hadlee is quite vocal in the bathtub, constantly singing or playing with her toys, so I wasn't to concerned that anything would happen without me hearing about it, and I was only 10 feet away at most.  But while I wasn't in there, Hadlee started yelling for me.  I bolted over, terrified that something had happened.  Something had happened indeed.

Floating in the bathwater were turds.  Yup.  Poop.  In the tub. 

I immediately tried to remove Hadlee from the tub.  I was quite sure that it was Miss Baby that had used the bathtub as a toilet, and thought it was disgusting that Hadlee was sitting in someone else's feces water.

Our conversation went something like this:

Rachel:  Hadlee, get out now!  Here is your towel.
Hadlee:  I didn't do it!  It was the BABY!
Rachel:  I know, GET OUT!
Hadlee:  But it wasn't me!  It was the BABY!
Rachel:  Yeah, I know, the baby pooped, now GET OUT!
Hadlee:  But the baby did it, I didn't poop!
Rachel:  Hadlee, I know you didn't poop, the baby did, and you are sitting in it and that is disgusting, now GET OUT!!!!
Hadlee:  Fine.


Apparently me taking her out of the tub first was like accusing her of pooping in the tub.  Like she was in trouble.  If it were me I would have jumped out of the tub as fast as I could, I guess she thought I should just take the turds out and bathtime should continue uninterrupted. 


She finally got out, then I took Miss Baby out of the tub.  I tried to get her to stay in the bathroom, but since I also had to empty the bathtub I didn't exactly succeed.  I fished the floaters (good news, Miss Baby must be getting enough fiber, at least that is what I learned in the Prairie Primer) out of the tub with toilet paper.  I missed one by a little bit and got some on MY THUMB!  GROSS!

So I finally get all of it out, and have to wait for the tub to drain, which apparently takes a little while.  As soon as it gets empty I start refilling it so I can wash the girls from head to toe to make sure they are at least mildly sanitary after the last debacle.  I put Hadlee in the tub and then go to get Miss Baby.  Who was standing right outside the doorway of the bathroom.  Peeing on the carpet.

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news!  Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time  is giving away a great prize!  One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives!  Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house.  Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts.  The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways.  During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters.  These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites.  They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...

God Made You Just Right by Jill Roman Lord - A Review

Most of the books I review are for adults, but I got a chance to review God Made You Just Right, which is a board book.  From the back of the book: You're brilliantly created, and there's no one else like you!  With simple, rhyming text and whimsical illustrations, this book is a welcome reminder for little ones that God created each of us in just the right way. I love the artwork, it is colorful and engaging, which should catch the attention of small children, but still nice to look at for adults.  The text is encouraging and has a good rhyme pattern, which I always appreciate in books for small children.  It isn't a story, but poetry telling children that God knew exactly what He was doing when He created each part of each person.  I love that it talks about the things you uniquely need to be able to fulfill God's plan for you. At the end of the book is Jeremiah 29:11, which gives scriptural support to the rest of the book.  My only...
