poopy chaos

Sunday night Phil and I took Liam to Pittsburgh Blue, a new restaurant in Maple Grove. We were very excited- it was opened by the same restaurant group that owns Manny's, our favorite steak joint in Minneapolis. We had a great meal, great wine, and Liam was an absolute angel. He slept the entire time. What a wonderful end to a nice weekend. Until we got home. And opened the door to find the remnants of three dirty diapers scattered all over the kitchen. Oops, I forgot to take out the trash and Hank finally got an opportunity to get at them...

Phil said he would clean it up while I changed our little angel. He was a bit stinky. And with good reason. He had poop all over his outfit and up his back. So bath time it is. He was going to get one on Monday anyway. I trekked upstairs to get his towel and a wash cloth and was greeted to another nice surprise. Dog poop...

There was a trail of it, through the hallway and into the office. Obviously the diapers Hank got into made him sick. A few months ago, all of this would have set me off on a tangent and I would have threatened to send Hank to the Humane Society (no, I would not have followed through, but he doesn't know that). Instead, Phil and I just looked at each other and laughed. An hour later, things were calm again. Stinky baby was now clean and smelled like a baby should, and the dogs were fed and sleeping. I guess this is our new normal. Good thing we can laugh about it!!!
