Sad and Gross But True

This post is not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach. If you are brave enough, read on....

Let me preface this story by saying that I was home alone.

I did a two for one bath deal this evening, which is usually easiest, since we've mostly gotten past the "keep your hands off your brother's penis" stage. I washed up Rowan, who was wearing copious amounts of spaghetti sauce, and then moved on to Aidan. I was rinsing his hair and very focused on it, as he was shaking his head like a dog after every pour, which had us both laughing. Rowan, meanwhile, splashed and played. I poured the last cupful of water over Aidan's head, realizing as I poured that the water was full of poop! Yes, Rowan had done his bowel duty in the tub, with Aidan in there with him and I dumped poop on my firstborn. Not my proudest moment as a parent, but for sure one of my most disgusting.

To their credit, Aidan did not freak as expected, and they were very patient as they stood obediently, shivering, at the edge of the tub while I drained it, sprayed off Aidan's hair with the shower head, cleaned the tub, and refilled it, then re-washed them both.

Ew.
