Over the summer, my husband & I decided to renovate our bathroom. I was due with our second baby in November so we figured to get the project done early. This being said, during construction we were left without a shower. Luckily both our of parents lived within five minutes from us, so bath time for my son was no problem. My son was about 18 months that summer and still in diapers.
One morning I was in the kitchen getting breakfast while my son played in the living room. When I got up to the living room my son was standing there without a diaper. At first I thought “how cute he is learning how to take off his clothes”. That was not the case. I looked past him at his diaper and noticed he pooped before taking off his diaper. Then I looked at him and noticed that he must have tried to pick up the mess he had made. Yes, exactly the poop was all over his rear end and hands.
Without a shower I panicked and finally decided to stick him in the kitchen sink. No problem right? Well as I put him down in the sink he screamed and reached up for my head. Then my arms. Then my face. I then proceeded to clean him while he was waving his arms and grabbing at me. By the end of this disaster he was clean and free of poop. The problem was I was covered in poop from head to waist and anywhere he had reached for me. Luckily he fit in the sink so I could clean him, but I was left unable to fit in the sink and without a shower. That is clearly the grossest thing I have done as a parent.
