Riddle me this. Riddle me that. What could scare the blackest cat? Answer: Anything that can destroy 2 diapers, a wall, a changing pad, and a pair of socks.
Yesterday, I was changing KidWonder -a #2- and after I put a clean diaper under the dirty on, I noticed a small spring bug on his wipes container. Not thinking I immediately let go of his little, yet very strong, legs to squish the little intruder. Crisis solved, I turned to find poop all over the changing pad cover. Before letting go of KidWonder, I didn’t close the diaper back and he proceded to kick as usual and his feet ended up in the poo. The formerly gray heels of his socks were now covered in poo and were spreading it around the changing pad, the clean diaper, and all over his legs. As I am sure he heard my yelp of surprise, DadWonder was soon at my side assisting.
I removed the socks and both diapers. DW stiffled his wriggles while I cleaned the scene. I looked above his head at what I thought was another bug only to find that, somehow, he had managed to fling a chunk of poo at the wall with those strong calves of his. I must say, I never felt like more of a mom. Am I now a veteran? Eh…
So once the real crises was over, wall cleaned, socks trashed, pad cover hampered, and diapers Genie-d, KW was in his usual I-want-to-play, I’m-the-happiest-boy-in-world, “Dad, let’s play” self. All as if he hadn’t just blessed us with a very funny story to tell.
