C is for Creativity...and Cat Poop

Yesterday was interesting.

I had a ton of work to do (I type for a meager living), but the hubs had a migrane and the house needed a hazmat sign, so we cleaned all day. Unfortunately, Mischief was not so taken with our idea because it meant a smidge less attention for him than usual. So he improvised.

I was loading the dishwasher and noticed him playing with a case of bottled water. Or so I thought. When he's playing with something that's gooey or messy he does this squidgy leg thing. He sits up with his legs out in front of him and flails them one at a time out and in out and in out and in. So he was doing the squidgy leg thing sitting in front of the water and I thought, well maybe he's got a piece of plastic wrapper under his leg. So I watch him. He's now doing the squidgy leg thing and rubbing his hand on his leg.

And then the smell hits me.

Poop.

But not his poop.

Cat poop.

Oh, yes. He had somehow gotten a cat turd - a FRESH cat turd - without anyone noticing and was painting the floor and himself with it.

Lovely.

Bathtime!!

And this was before 7:30am.

Then about three hours later, the hubs was watching the boys. I'm using the term "watching" loosely. You'll see why. Anyway, he was watching the boys and Mischief was in his exersaucer having a snack. This is how our conversation went:

Hubs: WHOA!! I think somebody's pooping.
Me: Okay.
Hubs: Yeah. His whole body was red, not just his face.
Me: Wow, really? Well make sure he's done and then change him, okay?
Hubs: Okay.

Fifteen minutes later, the smell hits me.

Poop.

Again.

Me: Hey Babe, did you change the baby??
Hubs: Oh! No! I forgot!
Me: Crap. Well grab him and change him.

Hubs lifts Mischief out of the exersaucer and his dimply little legs are going a mile a minute.

And they are coated in poop.

As is the entire floor of the exersaucer.

Which he has been foot painting with his poop.

Which neither Daddy nor Mayhem who are sitting next to him in the same room have noticed.

Bathtime!!

Again!!  Two baths before 11:30!!

A.M.

And both involving poop.

Not all of it his.
