September 2012: A First Time for Everything...

DISCLAIMER: If you are eating any sort of food...it might not be a good idea to read this post at this time.

Yes, there is a first time for everything with small children, and last night was another first here at the Carmack household...As I was giving Adelyn a bath, after washing her hair and a few minutes of playing, she suddenly leaned to her left and just looked at me for a second, and then sat back up in the tub and resumed playing.

And that's when I saw what was really going on. We had floaters....

And then I'm pretty sure I over reacted. I grabbed Addi, suds and all, and lifted her out of the tub as I yelled, "MICHAEL!!!! WE HAVE FLOATERS!!!! I NEED YOU!!! NOWWWWW!!!!!!" (Still holding this poor child by the arm pits in the air over the poopy water. Why I didn't put her on the towel that was sitting right next to me on the bathroom floor, I will never know)

I tried to spare you some details, but this is the crime scene. All of a sudden, I realized I didn't know what to do next! Michael took Adelyn to get her cleaned off and her pajamas on, and I was stuck with this. To make things worse, there were "particles" of Adelyn that wouldn't go down the drain when I ran the water. Seriously, people. They don't teach you about this stuff in your child birth classes:(

So, I left all the toys in the tub and did what any good mom would do....got out the bleach!! Bleach fixes everything in my opinion:)

Again, not sure what really to do, I mixed some bleach and water and filled the tub to sanitize all the toys and the bathtub as well. And I left it to sanitize for the rest of the night (excessive, I know). Meanwhile, in the other room, Adelyn and Daddy were having a grand ol' time with this post bath trauma (most likely laughing at the frantic woman that I turned in to)...

Meanwhile, I was just pure disgusted...

And then after getting her pajamas on, Michael brought Adelyn into the bathroom to see what I was doing, and her only words/actions were, "OH NO!!"...

Like I said...a first time for everything, I guess. Ewwww!! I hope that was the last time too (though I highly doubt it). But seriously...what is the "protocol" for when that happens? Any of you moms/cleaners out there know? Leave me a comment!

Anyway...on another note...this past week was pretty low key for us Carmacks. We hit up the library (Adelyn wasn't as interested in the books as much as she was all the other things around the library...)

And here Adelyn was enjoying a rare treat (a fruit smoothie Popsicle thing) - too cute:) 

Happy Monday All!
