A Father's High's and Low's

Today I got to experience both my most favorite thing and my least favorite thing to do as a father.

Most Favorite Thing: Riding my bike with Tate tagging along in his trailer.

Least Favorite Thing: Cleaning poop out of the bathtub.

Just thought I'd share . . .

Why did you poop in the bathtub?

Kent said...

I've cleaned it too, Wade, and it's not fun. I don't know what's worse, though: poop in the tub or baby vomit in your bed at 3:00 in the morning.

I cleaned poo out of Scout's tub on Monday! Vomit.

Hey Cas,

Father of the Year right here!

Hey Anon,

Ha! Very funny! Glad you felt comfortable firing a shot at me from underneth the cloak of Anonymous.

C'mon! Step out into the light!

Hey Kent,

Hmmmmmm - good one. I say vomit in your own bed at 3 AM is worse because you have to get up to switch sheets and then try to fall asleep despite the smell of vomit permeating from your matress.

At least poop in the bathtub doesn't interfere with your sleep - or else if it does then something has gone horribly wrong!

Hey T,

Sorry! But try not to vomit on the poo - it just makes it messier!

Thanks all for stopping by,

Wade, that is so tempting to satirize, but I shall be nice to you.

Yellow subs=good
Brown subs=bad

Lol to what Anonymous said!!! I've had to do that too. Not fun... makes me wonder how many times she's peed in the tub without my knowing it.

I'd probably rather not know.

Yep - "Father of the year - Award" for that!

if you want to see another toddler's mom blessed with the small things given insanity - the photos are too cute, but poor mommy that has to hang in there!

Poop in the bathtub is better than poop in a bed or all over the carpet. Count your blessings. The worst is at the dinner table, when the infant suddenly gets red in the face, sticks his/her hand down the back of the diaper, draws it out to inspect what was found, and attempts to continue eating. You never saw parents moving so fast.

Hey Russ,

Thanks for not jumping in on the mayley - I knew I could count on you!

Oh, and thanks for the Yellow sub/Brown sub tip. I've got it taped in the bathroom about the tub!

Hey Josh,

I can deal with knowing that Tate has peed in teh bathtub - mostly because it doesn't require a clean-up job that inevitably leads to me gagging repeatedly!

Hey Helen,

Thanks for the link - pictures like that make me cringe! The thought of an inconsolable child it nearly too much to bear!

Hey Lawn,

Oh wow! Had that been me, I would have also been put out because of immediately losing my appetite!

Thanks all for stopping by,
