New Adventures for Dad

I've often been quite proud of my 'potty-record' with Alex and Troy. I've never had a mishap - you know, peeing in my face or poo smeared everywhere... until today.

I now have a Poo Story.

I gave Alex a bath this morning, then when he was finished, I had my shower and decided to take Troy in with me - he needed to get the breakfast off. :) After we were done, I saw Alex playing with his tools downstairs and decided to let Troy play in his room while I shaved. I also thought he could use some bare-bum time, so left him without a diaper - he'd just peed in the shower, so I figured I was safe.
As I'm wrapping up my shave, I think, "Boy, Troy sure is playing well - not a peep!" WELL...!

I go in, and there it is - POO! And, it stank! Thankfully, there were only 2 piles and he'd only just discovered one when I got in. But, that first fist full went right to the mouth! AAAAAGGGGHHHH!
I quickly grabbed his hand and ran him back to the bathtub. I turned on the water and just started wiping! All I could figure was get as much of that shit out of his mouth as possible! Then I could take care of the rest on his hands, arm, shoulder, legs and bum.
Of course this whole time Alex wants to help. I'm telling him that he should just go play in his room or downstairs, but of course there's nothing more interesting that Poo!
Once I get Troy hosed down and dressed (while being adamant with Alex not to step in the poo), I toss him into his crib so I can get dressed and deal with the poo smears on the floor. Alex then asks me if he can join Troy in the crib, and I think it's a wonderful idea - keeps both kids out of my way! After using the baby wipes to scoop the crap up, I have to find a way to get rid of the stains...
The in-laws have a steam cleaner - I'll be borrowing that tonight! But, in the mean time, I run down to the basement to get that bottle of Club Soda that's been sitting around since our last tequila binge. It does the trick on the 2 smaller stains (yep, I found another one!), but the bigger spot is still noticeably... discolored.

The boys are now both clean and lunched. Troy hasn't puked, so I'm guessing the small amount of poo that he did injest hasn't caused much harm. He's now sleeping, and I think my stomach has settled enough for me to go eat.

Good times!
