So, I wasn't going to blog about this. But, I talked to my friend, Natalie, today and the story is kind of funny....24 hours after it happened anyway. I don't know if it's just us or if no one else talks about it, but Natalie brought up that about every 3rd post that I write has to do with poo. I'm sensing a theme here. Seriously, does anyone else have poo horror stories? Natalie told me I should write a book...."The Adventures of Poo." She definitely had me laughing. Anyway, I might not write a book, but I will write a short blog.
It begins with Aiden eating more solid food. Solid food leads to more solid poo...you mommies out their know what I mean. The story gets more interesting when I remind you all that we cloth diaper. I'll spare you my soapbox rant on how everyone should cloth diaper. Anyway, newborn poo is no problem...right into the washer it can go. Solid food poo must be disposed of in the toilet. I don't know how it happened but somehow I must have missed getting a diaper full of poo cleaned out before washing it. I went about washing the dipes as normal and then throwing them in the dryer. When I got my dipes out of the dryer is when the nightmare began. I realized I missed some poo in one of the dipes because my entire dryer was covered in a thin layer of poo (I discovered that putting poo in the dryer must make it melt)....and there was a chunk...and thats all I'll say about that.
So....a bucket of bleach water and lots of scrubbing later. And a container of clorox wipes. And a wipe down with all purpose cleaner with white paper towels just to make sure that the white paper towels came back white. And an hour of scrubbing....I think we're back to normal. The dipes had to be rewashed and soaked too...and bleached which normally I don't do but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Tom is still completely unaware of this incident. He would FREAK out if he knew of such yuckiness! I've never thought twice about cloth dipes...I LOVE them...but last night disposable dipes did cross my mind.
Go ahead and laugh at this story. After the fact it really is funny. I just hope I'm not the only mommy with so many poo mishaps. I have a feeling this won't be the last poo story since Aiden is only our first baby and is only 7 months old. We have a long way to go.
