Why is the bath water GREEN?!

                             

Lexi loves her bath time now and is very content during it. She is almost too big for the little hammock thing she lays in, but as long as she has a wash cloth over her and daddy keeps pouring the warm water she is great! Well, Saturday night Jaron and I were giving Lexi her bath and I was washing her while Jaron poured the water. After scrubbing her we just let her lay there and enjoy it for a moment. When it was time to get her out, I always put one hand under her head and one under her bum and lift her out quickly and lay her on the towel. I always hurry and wrap her up in the towel and start drying her. As I pulled the towel down to put on her diaper, I was alarmed to see very green poop under her bum and it was all over the towel, even on the little top part that covers her head. How in the world did poop get everywhere? I hurried and grabbed a wipe and wiped it up as best I could. Then we put her back into the bathtub to wash her again. I then realized the inside of my hand was green! Lexi must have pooped in my hand at the exact moment I was pulling her out of the tub. What timing!!! That was how it got all over the towel! It was in my hand! How did I not know she had pooped in my hand, you might ask. She was very wet coming out of the tub and so was the poop!  Just as we put her in and put the washcloth back over her, Jaron heard a particular sound and saw green oozing out into the bath water. He of course bolted to the other side of the room yelling Ewww, GROSS! I hurried and grabbed a paper towel, which was the closest thing to the tub resembling a wipe and scooped up as much as I could off the hammock. However my efforts failed when I noticed the green ooze had already contaminated the water. We rinsed her off as best we could, but had to result to wipes mostly. I was so relieved when I finally had her diaper on because there wouldn't be anymore disasters! While I continued with Lexi's bedtime routine, Jaron, the noble dad, was left to clean up the mess off the tub and towels. Luckily, we have this amazing green spray called Advanage that takes out ANYTHING, including very green poop!!!

I hear a quick trip to the shower with baby in hand is a great way to solve this type of major disaster. Gotta to be fun. The story gets better after 20 years too.

LOL so stinkin' funny. Austin NEVER pooped in the tub. He peed but NEVER pooped thank goodness cause I probably would have gagged. Thanks for the story and laugh. I can totally hear Jaron saying Eww, gross!

This is really funny! Your husband is quite the guy! Jake has horrible gag reflexes and gags at everything! I'm not sure he would have made it through all of this! She is so stinking cute too!
