All in an afternoon...

Yesterday afternoon Miss M pooped... her big sisters were sleeping & the case of wipes I bought last week were in their closet. In the diaper bag there was ONE wipe left. While trying to judiciously use every corner of the one clean wipe, Miss M kicks her hardest, causing me to release her foot out of my hand & into the poopy diaper. She then grabs said foot, thereby getting poop on her fingers. In the process of trying to contain her I get poop on my shirt & my pants. So into the shower we go. After cleaning up and sharing a giggle or two, we emerge and I discover that I am out of heavy duty pads & tampons ... Only light flow and panty shields left, and this is day 3 of my period. I want to start this day over. No such luck.

After getting us both dressed, it is clear that Miss M is now empty and loudly expresses her displeasure of not being fed sooner.

While nursing she grabs my bangs and yanks- clinching them in her vise like grip. I finally get her to release them and she grabs my boob and twists the skin! All done I declare!

I decide to move on to feeding her solids. Three spoonfuls into her apples & oatmeal, she grabs the bowl and yanks. She and I, plus her chair and the floor are now speckled with blobs of baby oatmeal.

Thankfully my 2 toddlers napped through this particular adventure. All in an afternoon for this mama of three!
