Yeah… I’ll bet you know what I’m going to say here.
Sometimes we let Jack run around in the nod normally after a bath, before he goes to bed. I think that we think that it’s ‘airing’ his bum and bits, as they’re cooped up in a nappy all day and night. This hasn’t been a major problem until now. The last ‘incident’ that we had in this situation, was where Young Mr. Rigby decided to let out a little wee on the carpet, stopping and standing still to do so.
This morning, however, he took things to the next level.
After a shower first thing, he was standing butt-naked at the baby-gate in the doorway of his playroom and, in the blink of a grown-up’s eye, several large chunks of soft-looking brown poo appeared on the carpet. It was my eye that is the blinking benchmark here, as I saw him standing there looking all innocent in his birthday suit, glanced away, glanced back and had to double-take on what I saw.
By the time I had chance to rush and grab his, he stood in it and had begun smearing it on his legs and into the carpet.
Taking his straight to bathroom and into the bath, Claire came over and we began hosing down the little poo-maker. Sitting there all chirpy in the bath, whilst he looks up at us with them big blue eyes, it was a bit difficult to keep a straight face. We washed him all over again and then began the process of getting a nappy on him and quick, although it did feel like a case of the closing the barn door after the horse had bolted.
Aside: Claire just came in to where I’m writing this blog post and has read it before I had finished it – she instantly ‘fessed-up to already having picked up a bit of Jack’s poo from the carpet in his bedroom and cleaned up the minor mess before I even knew anything about it, thinking that she had got away with it, and that Jack wasn’t going to do any more. Well, she was wrong!!
