so yesterday sadie had quite the experience with her poop. she completely blew her diaper off (figuratively). and as i was checking the damage, i noticed this was going to be no ordinary diaper change, this was a complete bowel blowout. it was all up her back, on her forearms, on her legs and feet even, on her front up to her bellybutton...she wiggles so much that it just got everywhere. and, poor girl, it got in her hair, her HAIR ! so i proceeded to undress her (spreading the poop) and gave her a bath. then i drained the water and bathed her again. i almost took a picture of her backside with all that yellow poo, but i decided writing about it was going to be graphic enough (sorry).
so, switching gears....
the stars were aligned, the moon was in its lunar phase or whatever, but all the kids plus the girl i babysit, napped together at the same time. there was silence in the house for about an hour. this was huge for me. audrey has stopped taking naps and reese has always struggled to settle down. sadie kind of just sleeps whenever.
but yesterday, the sun was shining down on me and they all crashed and slept for about an hour and a half. it was a beautiful thing!
i then proceeded to stuff my face with as much food as i could find in the house before anyone was disturbed. (i use food to relax me, comfort me, when i'm bored, sad, happy, or itchy....its not healthy, but i am working on it)
michael didnt get home until about 8:30, but that was surprisingly okay...audrey and reese had a pretty good day and they have been listening a lot better at bedtime.
then as i was going to bed around 10:30, sadie was wide awake and she was so talkative, gurgling, cooing, fake coughing, and she even kind of laughed a couple of times. she was loud, and trying really hard to make new sounds. the laughing was a new sound we had not yet heard. it was darling. she was so happy and bubbly. it was a great end to my chaotic day. and i was glad that she wasn't too upset about being covered in poo for a little bit.
it was just one of those funny days......

wow, I'm so happy for you that they all slept at the same time. That really is a miracle. 4 kids asleep. You got lucky. The poo, on the other hand.... not so lucky!! Your days must be so busy with having a newborn and watching that other little girl. Does Audrey go to preschool or is she going to? Once they start getting into school it gets a little easier. I'm glad Sadie is laughing and being cute... that is the best.
Preston had a major blow out yesterday too!! I mean it sounds just like Sadie's it was his worst one yet and everywhere! I'm so glad they all slept for you- I love when the 3 boys sleep at the same time- the house is quiet and it's just a nice break!
