Prunes ain't no joke

The plague of many babies starting solids has invaded the Bonzo household...well, not all of us, just the littlest Bonzo. The glorious, dignified ailment of constipation. After going to the Dr. for her 6 mo well visit, we were instructed to feed solids like prunes, peaches, pears and peas. The letter of the day is P, for poo. Two days after starting prunes, Avery had a blowout, all the way up her back and even in her hair. Rob was home to help me so it was no big deal. Gross, but I'm sure she felt so much better.

Today I am at Joshua's house (the little boy I keep during the day) and they are both in the playroom hanging out and I come into check on them and it smells so bad. I ask Joshua, "did you toot?" Yes, keeping small children 7 days a week, this is what my vocabulary has become. He says no, so I check Avery and lo and behold if she doesn't have poo oozing out of the back of her pants and onto her back and shirt. Oh.my.gosh. Now, I am not at my house and the diaper bag is all the way downstairs and Avery is covered in poo. I run her into the bathtub and start peeling her clothes off. Poo is going all over the bathtub and Joshua is standing at the door asking what is going on. So I send him down to get the diaper bag so I can use wipes instead of Renee's bath towels to clean up this mess. So I hear him dragging the bag up the stairs and sure enough he got the wrong bag, he brought me my laptop. While it may have been handy for googling poo removal, it was not helpful in wiping any of it up! Sorry Renee, I had no other choice but to use your wash cloth to wipe up the mess. I bathe Avery with blueberry soap and get her dressed in her spare outfit (at least I had that) and put her back in the playroom so I can disinfect the bathroom. Meanwhile Joshua is saying look at this and look at that and can you get me this and where is that. I looked at him and said "The bathtub is covered in poo, the floor is covered in poo and I'm covered in poo. Now if you want to not be covered in poo, I suggest you find something else to do." I think he got the point.

So all the dirty clothes and towels are now in the laundry and will be dry and hung back up before Renee gets home, to which I would say, she'll never know ;) But Joshua likes to talk so she'll know as soon as we see her this afternoon.

Here's a prune face!
