Parenthood is not for the squeamish (TMI warning)

Well, after months of being a mum, I thought nothing Kaitlyn does make me go "yuck" anymore... but of course, she managed to surprise me.

Last night, I was feeding her dinner. As usual, she does a No.2 during the feeding (yeah I know, eating and pooping at the same time, how very talented). I thought nothing of it as she does it every night. I waited for her to finish so I could change her before continuing the feeding. THEN... she rubbed her little hands together, and I saw something... brownish green... I looked at the congee I was feeding her to make sure I wasn't feeding her beans... then it hit me... OMG, she's playing with poo!!! I completed freaked out... dropped the bowl of congee and grab a hold of her hands, to make darn sure that she doesn't stick her fingers in her mouth, while yelling for my parents to get me towels to clean her up. Apparently, she had done a No.2 SO BIG, that it blew out of the side of her nappy and she grabbed a handful...

Yes, YUCKY!!!

As I was feeling disgusted and get myself in a tangle trying get her cleaned up and changed from head to toe. Guess what Her Royal Highness did? She laughed!!! I am glad SOMEONE saw the humour in all that mess...

Thus far in my motherhood journey I had been covered in vomit, pee and poo on numerous occassions and I have learned to not be easily disgusted... but this really brings it to a new level. Parenthood is one messy business.
