Yellow is the new white. |
Ever
since we brought our son home from the hospital he has been pretty consistent
at not doing one thing in his sleep… pooping. Of course, while there hasn’t
been any mess there has been a fairly large amount of auditory pollution but
that is a topic that I have already covered. But the simple, and kind of
amazing, fact is that our son learned early on that it is not comfortable to
sleep in your own poo. With that said, he does not abide by a rather famous
saying… he does crap where he eats.
The eruption
usually occurs late in the morning or early in the afternoon. The one
commonality is that it happens either during or immediately after he has his
bottle. Until recently there was little doubt when this happened at the colonic
alarm would usually sound. However, recently our son has employed the sniper
crap… you don’t realize what has happened until it is too late.
Because
of these sneak attacks, there have been many casualties along the way. It is
common for our son, like many babies his age, to wear a multitude of outfits
during the day. While we have gotten pretty used to this routine there are
occasions when we just have to take a step back, take a deep breath (not
through our noses), and proceed with the usual hazmat procedures. Pretty astounding
considering he is already wearing size four diapers.
And
it never fails that the worst of these atomic tests occur outside of the house.
Sometimes in the car and other times while we are eating in a restaurant (among
other locations). Always concluding with a mischievous smirk. The latest occurred
while having lunch on Saturday before we headed out looking for a new car. It
was bad… it was the first time that we had to really clean the car seat.
In the
end, his development and early habits are different than we could have ever
anticipated. He is so far beyond where we ever expected him to be and I am
excited to see how fast he continues to pick things up. Hopefully, this is a
foreshadowing for an easy potty training but I am really not counting on that
one. Until then we will just have to continue our vigilance when we sit down at
a restaurant and hope that wind doesn’t carry the fall out across the dining
room.
