Lesson for the day: Never put your one-year-old to bed in just a diaper. You just never know what might happen.

Do you really want the details?

Baby C went down for his first nap in a T-shirt and a diaper.  Yes.  Older, wiser mothers may have thought twice about this. They might have thought that any day now that one-year-old might turn his diaper into a toy and start exploring.  They might have had the foresight to pull on a pair of shorts or even a onesie or perhaps a straight-jacket to prevent such exploration.  But, alas, I suppose one must learn some lessons through experience as one begins her progression into the older, wiser mother category.  Anyways, to make a gross story short…C woke up from his nap.  I heard him talking but decided to leave him in his crib for a bit to play as I usually do.  The problem is, today he was playing in his doo…. As I found out when I went to retrieve him.  He had removed the diaper and THEN decided to poo and pee all over his sheets/bumper pad, etc.  The diaper itself was clean. The baby was a complete mess.  And, since everything at this point in his life is something to be discovered and, most of all, tasted…well…let’s just say his face was smeared with poo and he was sucking his thumb when I entered the room.

So, today was bath day.
