The Life and Times of the Brothers Mac

Today was MY Friday the13th!!

Gavin has been sick with some kind of stomach virus since Sunday and so Mommy has been hard at work with cleaning up diarrhea and vomit and washing sheets and bedding and changing a million soiled clothes for both of us. In addition to trying to care for 2 yr old Gabe, keep him on schedule, & get some rest all while holding a sick, cranky, tired, infant! Ugh! Needless to say, it's been a long week already and it's only Wed AM.

Gavin seems to finally be starting to feel better and holding in some liquids, no solids yet, but I think Gabe was feeling a little left out.....here's why.

Yesterday afternoon when I went into his room to get him up from his nap, (I should preface this by saying he's learned to remove his own diaper in the past week), so I go in and the whole room stinks, his diaper is off and lying on the floor outside the crib, he's jumping around nude from the waist down, and his feet, legs, covers, sheets, etc are covered in POOP! I could have just died! I had to give him a bath, strip the bed, and wash all of the linens before he could do anything else. It was a real mess. I can assure you, there is a reason there is no photo with this blog post. :)

Daddy sent me out for a pedicure after it was all over, but not before he had a good laugh about it. Guess I'm able to laugh now too, but we're in full-on potty-training mode, PRONTO!! Gabe will be wearing pull ups to bed and learning about the potty so this won't happen again anytime soon.
