Day 1

It is no sooner than this idea came to me, that my son, 2.5 years old and full of gusto, decided to be the subject of my first 'real' post.

Today he decided to defy logic, defy the natural order of things...It still baffles me. I get the whole intake, output (in proportion) thing. I am a hands on mommy that after her kid has only eaten a cracker all day, has remarked "Wow! You MUST feel better after THAT". I've had full conversations with parents about input/ output diaper experiences, while my non breeding buddies try not to listen and go off to book vasectomy appointments. This is different...


My son had 3 outputs today, the first, normal. The second (the fact he had a second) more unusual, & disturbing. He had put his hands down his pants... great. Scrub scrub scrub, & back to the day. Now his third required him to be stealth, something he has a hard time being, but he found a way! Nap time... the dreaded nap time. A time most parents look forward to, and I AM one of them, except that it is completely unsupervised time, time you tuck them in, read a story or two, and leave them to fall asleep.

Today, he did not sleep, today he had output #3, stayed silent for 30 minutes, whilst he took off his pants, then his diaper, and used his poo, like any kindergartener would finger paint... sigh... 

nothing like a mid day bath, while your 3 month old is crying, whaling for your attention, and scrubbing poop off of hands, backs, buttocks and ... well everywhere else. 4th load of laundry? Check!

The day winds down with some frozen pizza, a movie, hugs, kisses, a skipped night time bath & some bed time stories, crossing my fingers to not have an output #4.
