Today was an "interesting" day. B didn't sleep well last night, so Ababa and I didn't sleep well last night, so we were late to church. After church we went to the playground. B was tired and cranky but then got over it and had fun--he can't resist a good slide:-). We came home and ate lunch (corn, potato, and squash chowder--this is important to know for later in the story) and then B went down for a nap.
So far so good...
Then at 5 I went in to wake B up. He was just waking up on his own and was happy and cuddly, but his room smelled foul. I thought it was the cloth diapers which were in their bag on the way to the laundry today. I took him to the po-po like always after nap, unsnapped his diaper to put him on it, and was faced with a TON of poop (super nasty poop given his lunch). The is the first poopy diaper B has had since he came into our care. He has been adamant about pooping in the po-po (potty) since July 1 when he came to live with us in Ethiopia, even when he had giardia and was going 10 times a day with gross diarreah.
The poop was contained in the diaper (yay! cloth diapers totally work:-) but it was everywhere. While I was shaking it off into the toilet as best I could, before I could clean him off, woosha came up and started trying to LICK IT OFF OF B's BOTTOM!!! GROSS!!! AND...IT STARTED DRIPPING ON THE FLOOR!
Ababa was taking a nap, B was in a great mood and wanted to try and run around (with poop all up and through his bottom and halfway up his back), woosha was trying to get a "snack"....it was a poopstravaganza!
Question: What do you do first when you have a poppy kid, a poopy diaper, a poopy dog, and poop all over the floor?!?!?!??!?! Answer: Yell really loudly that Ababa's nap is over and he better get up RIGHT NOW:-)
I put the poopy diaper in the bathtub, wiped off the poopy kid, made the poppy dog sit/stay, wiped up the poopy floor, picked up the poopy diaper and rinsed it in the toilet, wiped off the floor, cleaned out the bathtub, ran a bath for B (wipes were just not going to cut it), and then when Ababa finally was awake and functioning, sent him downstairs with the week's worth of diapers to wash, including the most recent nasty addition.
B thought the whole thing was hilarious and has been in a great mood ever since (I would be too after the giant load he got out of his system!)
Not sure if his tummy is upset or what since he seems to feel great. We only fed him a little fish and rice for dinner with just a few pieces of plum and is going to bed a little early just in case.
I really hope that this is a one time deal and he goes back to being poop potty-trained tomorrow (we're still working on the pee potty-training) b/c this was not at all fun!
Good thing he's so cute:-)
