**IT Happened!

Warning: This post is about POOP! If you don't like to read about POOP, then you might want to leave ASAP. OR you can pretend that the picture I'm about to show you is a bit of dirt....or chocolate (ewww).


What you are seeing is exactly what you think it is. I'm only blogging about this to journal that it did in fact happen to us, although I never thought in a million years that it would. Lesson learned for mommy, don't ever think your child is incapable of doing ANYTHING and never say never.

When Ava wouldn't go down for nap, which isn't entirely odd, as she goes through phases, I didn't think much of it (especially since mommy missed her usual nap time b/c we were having too much fun playing at the park and feeding the fish/ducks). However, what is odd is that she fussed and cried this time, which she doesn't usually do. If she fights nap, she'll sit in her crib and sing or talk or play. Only this time, she cried.

Well, I gave it a few minutes, ten maybe, and went in to console her and tell her it's at least "quiet time". I had already been in once when she screamed about having her shirt stuck on her head when she tried to take it off herself. I just never imagined that she would have removed any other article of clothing. When I entered, though, I smelled poo. I figured she had a poopy diaper, I would change it, and all would be back to normal re: naptime. That's when I noticed that she was not wearing a diaper.

It slowly started to sink in, a blurb of brown streak on her crib behind her. Ava just sitting there starring at me.

Needless to say, the crib was sanitized, the bedding, blankets and animals washed, and a little girl was put in the bath. Truth be told, it wasn't awful (as awful as it could have been). There was only the one smear (seen above) and nothing else. One time was all it took for her to realize the nastiness, hence the crying.

Sooo, mother-of-the-year over here warns all her readers: When your child is crying at naptime, maybe, just maybe, it might be worth going in and checking on them.
