Today I had the pleasure of experiencing the MOST DISGUSTING thing ever, courtesy or Raegan. I put her down for her morningish nap, she and Carsen were playing so well this morning we were late putting her down. So she went down pretty well. I jumped in the shower, about 15 minutes later I got out and heard Raegan crying. This is not uncommon, she sometimes gets really irritated that Carsen doesn't take a nap.
I threw on a robe and went to listen at her door, which was closed. Her door has to be closed when she sleeps because she is the lightest sleeper in the world. Back to the story. I got about two steps away from her door and realized there was an aroma coming from her room. Not a good aroma. I thought, well, she messed her diaper and is crying because she needs a new one. I also thought, WOW, this is STRONG! So I opened her door.
She looked both relieved to see me and super guilty at the same time. I turned the light on and realized changing a diaper was not the problem I was going to have to deal with. She had already removed the diaper. Prior to pooping. The diaper was in pristine condition....that was about the only thing in pristine condition. Poo was pretty much everywhere. I was grossed out by this, but Carsen had accomplished the same feat a couple of times, so I knew it was manageable. As I surveyed the damage, I noticed a couple of things, first Raeggie was crying, a cry I hadn't heard before, and she only stopped crying every few seconds to say UH-OH UH-OH. The other thing that I noticed was that the poo smears were not only all over her bed, toys, blankets, etc, but they were all over her. ALL OVER HER! When she looked up at me I saw that they were all over her face!!!!! What part of her face you ask? Well, specifically her mouth. Yes, her mouth! I don't know for sure but all indications point to the fact that Raegan ate poo. Her own poo. I was so shocked and revolted that I didn't take pictures, and I am a little glad that I didn't.
One good thing that came out of this mess, is that I now know babies can eat their own poop and really nothing will ever happen to them, as for their parents, I pretty much think I am going to be scarred for life...well at least for the next few days. I still shudder, and it has been about 2 hours... Another good thing that came out of this is I am sure that the nurses at the Bryner Clinic are getting a good laugh...

So I just realized it was April Fools, I think Raegan just played the Best/Worst April Fools joke EVER!
ROFL! That is disgusting! My nephew did that when he was little too...so you are definitely NOT alone in this experience. I only pray that it will NEVER happen to me! GROSS! (But at the same time totally funny too! Hee hee!)
Melissa! This is Jennie Davenport. I saw you posted your blog link on facebook...check ours out: jenniedavenport.blogspot.com. And I just have to say that I'm so sorry you experienced this...but I was CRACKING up when reading it! It's so awful, but absolutely hilarious! I'm looking forward to the days when I walk in a room for that surprise...
Hi, just your friendly neighborhood web stalker here: Camilla. Thanks for the reads link!!
This poop story is hilarious! If it makes you feel any better we were having a BBQ once with a group of friends and one of the kids came up to her mom and mom looks at her teeth and finds something, um, brown. It is about the same time that mom #2 notices junior's diaper is off and he is scattering little poo nuggets all over the yard.
So, I don't think you need to be scarred. Just think how wonderful this story will be to tell the boy in high school who is spending a little too much time with your daughter. Maybe this will scare him off!
I think Camilla has the right idea---who needs a shotgun when the boys come around when a good poo story will do the trick!
Of course she ate it. She's been making it for over a year now and every time she does, y'all take it away! Don't we all want what we can't have?
that is crazy! haha. By the way, you gotta change the link to our blog, it says, redCOLVERsunshine rather than redclover. ;) its up and running now, woot!
good to see you the other night! next time they have a paint balling game, i'm coming over to hang out with you. i'm BORED.
Yup, that is the job of the child -- keep mom guessing what will happen next!
People should read this.
