One of those laugh later moments
A bit of my morning the other day.............
You know you're a mother of two under two when.....
Bathtime can go any direction.
Here's how ours went today.
Mommy puts toddler into bathwater to soak. Realizing she forgot to assemble needed items(clothes, diapers, comb etc.), she runs out to quickly put everything in the livingroom(the usual dressing area). As she puts down said items she looks at the happy baby on the floor. However, what gets her attention is not the happy smile on the chubby face but the large, wet, brownish yellow stain on the carpet that seems to run about the length of baby. Mommy runs for the diaper pad and upon picking up said baby, realizes that he has pooped from his shoulders to below his knees(he is wearing a sleeper and every mother who has ever nursed a baby knows what their poop looks like and how it runs). She puts him down and starts surveying the mess, trying to decide on the best course of action. She decides to use some stain remover and it takes some of the stain out but it is still so painfully obvious. She then sprays some carpet cleaner on spot and strips baby, cleans him up as best she can and runs back to the bathroom and throws him into the tub with his sister. She gives him a quick scrub and runs back to the livingroom and diapers and dresses him at all speed. She then sits him up and continues to scrub at the stain. She realizes it is not working so decides to use another cleaner. But Mommy remembers that you aren't supposed to mix chemicals(she has already used two on the stain) so she decides that she needs to rinse it first. She gets under the kitchen sink and gets out her only water bottle/sprayer and pours it's contents(about 1 1/2 cups) into a cup and fills it with water(all the while yelling to the soaking toddler "say Mama" to make sure she is still breathing). As she reaches up into the cabinet to get another towel, her elbow hits the cup, sending it all over the kitchen floor. Mother looks to Heaven asking what she did to deserve this and leaving the mess, runs back to check on pruny toddler. She then scrubs at the spot full force after soaking it with water and notices that it is helping. A lot. She then looks up at baby who is sitting a few feet away and shoots the happy smiling face a dark look and mumbles something about "using up all his naughty points". She returns to the kitchen to clean up mess and does a quick mop over the main area of the floor. She then goes back and finishes the scrubbing on toddler and dresses and diapers her. There, at least they are safe. Mommy puts them both down for a nap. Yes the spot is still there, no I don't know how I'll get it out. Whoever thought of white carpet was a moron and definitely did not have children.
