When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.

So far this morning I've been peed on, been hit by an explosive poo DURING a diaper change, and been spit-up on twice... and it's not yet 10:30am.
Welcome to my world buddy!! It's a wild ride, but lots of fun. Congrats!

Congrats Eric! What a lucky baby Max is! Don't let Doug scare you. Mornings aren't that bad. I got a big kiss from a little person that smells like pancakes, I used my superhuman parent power to fix a bumped noggin, and I am the funniest person ever and receive applause whenever I enter a room. Pretty sure the diaper/vomit thing happened sometime this morning, but the pancake kisses made me forget all of it.

It's disgusting! You'll find remnants for days. Check the surrounding area for collateral damage.Sounder wrote:...explosive poo from a 4-week-old is notable.

You guys need to work on your pre-diaper change planning. Stage the primary replacement diaper near the area of concern before entering the contamination zone. Always place the primary diaper in the same location, this builds muscle memory, so you can find it quickly in any emergency. Of course, always be sure to keep a backup diaper on a bungee ready to go. All this limits the amount of time that you are OOD (Out of Diaper) and exposed to the potential for explosion.
Congrats Eric! Have fun with him!

Re: Congratulations to Sockmonkey!
Oh, don't get me wrong. There are definitely dark moments. For example, I now own a commercial grade closet auger and it gets used more often that I care to mention. I'm sure my septic tank is quite full of toys, flashlights, socks, marbles, board-game pieces, Christmas tree ornaments... <sigh>Sounder wrote:Ok fine, I GUESS they're pretty cool too... but explosive poo from a 4-week-old is notable.
PS - I wrote my super awesome congratulations message in a private email. I'm not 100% hijack 100% of the time. Just for the record.
