So this mornig I thought Isaiah was going to be blind (no, not that yet) He somehow spilled about 1/4 bottle of bubbles on his face and eyes. I feel aweful for not knowing how it happened I was pushing Eliya and Silas on the swings-I was being a good mother to two thirds of my kids...
Anyway he started screaming and rubbing the bubbles into his eyes, I snached the baby out of his swing and ran the boys into the house. Poor Bean was begging me to carry him, but what could I do? I put Baby down and scooped up Isaiah as soon as the back door closed and put him on the counter. Using a wash cloth I started pouring water over his face and wiping the bulk of it away. Then I realized he had pooped. I ran him to his room layed him on the changing table and handed him blanky blue. Boy had he pooped...I got him cleaned up and in the tub (seems backwards doesn't it?) and proceeded to spray his face with the shower hose thing. So now the poor guy is thinking I'm tourturing him-I felt like I was. He'd cry and turn around and beg me to not spray his eyes and I'd chase him around the tub, or worse, I'd wait till he opened his eyes again and then go in for another rinse.
I got out the best kid towel we have, a huge cozy tiger towel with a hood, wrapped him up and just hugged him. I took him to my room where I held him and kissed him and made sure he was okay. I put a diaper on him and promised my baby a sucker (suckers make all kinds of things better.) I got him on the couch, turned on Seseme Street and made sure blanky blue was ready for snuggles. I breathed for probably the first time in 10 minutes and went to the bathroom to avoid all the mess for just a moment. As I looked in the mirror I noticed there is a big smear of poop from my right sholder to my left side. It was like a Miss America sash. I had a sash of poop. I decided to ignore the fact taht Bean could have poop on him, surely it only got on the big tiger towel that was now safely in the hamper. I couldn't bear to put him through a bath at that point anyway.
Bean seems fine now. except he wanted to sleep in his shoes. I don't think that's a side effect of bubble solution exposure...
