So now that we have established
that Beau does not like bugs, here is a story about poop. You know those
diapers that are so messy there is no point in even trying to use baby wipes to
deal with them? Well one day a few weeks ago Beau blew out a diaper. It was awful and poo was everywhere. So I grabbed
him carefully by the armpits and hauled him to the bathtub. The idea was to
hose him off because there was so much poop it would take a mountain of wipes
and an hour of work to effectively eliminate all of it. I turned on the water
and started rinsing him. He was fine for a minute but then he looked down and
noticed the poo particles slowly swirling and heading for the drain. As it
turns out swirling poo particles look a lot like bugs. That was when things
went bad and Beau began to panic.

Beau started screaming “bugs! Bugs!
Dey on me! bugs on me!” I tried to reassure him that, no it was not bugs just lots
of poop. He would have none of it and began thrashing and trying to escape from
the tub. I was trying to hold him still
with one hand and rinse him with the other but he was struggling so hard poo
water was flying everywhere. I started screaming “hold still, its poop not
bugs! I just cleaned this bathroom! Hold still!!!” Now I am covered with poo
water. He is struggling even harder and gets
one leg loose which streaks poo along the side of the tub. There is no point in
me trying to stay clean at this point so I grab him around the belly and stick
his little bum directly under the water. He is finally clean and I wrap him in
his towel and he wanders off saying over and over “no like bugs, bad bugs, bugs
ucky”. I look around my bathroom and survey the damage, poo water EVERYWHERE. Kids
are so gross.
