We had been battling the flu at my house all week.  First DH started, then 2 days later me and the baby came down with it.  On the plus side no need to debate the flu shot with anyone!  Today was the first day I started to have energy and actually felt almost normal.  I got up ran a few errands, then came home and got ready to go to work.  I left the house looking forward to being home because me and DH finally have a day off together tomorrow.  Work was work and I got home and DH and I sat down to watch Lord of the Rings after putting the baby to bed. 

About an hour into the movie he tells me he's going to bed because he's been up since 4 am cuz he had to work today today.  No big deal.  Kisses and goodnights ensued and then I went back to the movie.  About a half hour after DH went to bed the little man wakes up.  I go in to see what's wrong and upon pulling back the covers I see an enormous wet spot on his back.  Lovely.  But no big deal.  I pick him up and as soon as he is high enogh to come oer the rail of the crib, which happens to put his butt level with my face, I catch my first smell since I got sick.  And its poop.  Uh-oh.  I turn on the light and look down the back of his shirt.  It's EVERYWHERE!

Down his sleeves, at his neck.  Just everywhere.   I head into the bathroom stand him in the tub and begin the process of stripping him down.  It's a messy process.  Everywhere that wasn't covered is now covered and slippery.  I need back up.

"Harold!  Harold!  I need help!"

"What's wrong?!"

"This kid literally just shat everywhere and I need back up!"

"Hold on lemme get my glasses."

He walks into the bathroom.

"Oh my God!  My little man.  What did you eat?" he says

"Can you warm up the water and get the shower head down while i get this diaper off."

"Yeah sure"

We start the process of cleaning of the doo doo.

He says, "Oh honey, this smeills awful!"

"Yeah well this is the first thing I've smelt in a week so no complaining allowed."

LOL.  So we get him cleaned up and diapered again and DH goes back to bed.  But yes my big surprise was having my first scent in a week being a lovely pile of poop.  Ladies I'm telling you this is one of those times that make you wonder why you feed them in the first place if you have to clean up the mess afterward. LOL.

LOL  my grandson did that to my husband and I Saturday night. We were babysitting him. As soon as his mom and dad left he pooped and the bath process started!!   He is 9 weeks old and a nursed baby so the poop was the watery yellow mess with  no smell thank God!

LOL! Unfortunately he only does it to mommy and daddy.  And usually one has to wake the other up for back up.  It doesnt happen often but when it happens watch out!
