A "Poopy" stay in Missouri

She's just a poop machine! I know, I know, every parent has a poop story and I'm sure that this will not be the last, nor is it the best, but, it's just too ridiculous not to share.

We are traveling to South Bend for the first part of our vacation up north. We left last night at around 9:00 pm. Clara fell asleep about one hour into the ride (having woke the precious thing from a sound sleep so she'd be sleepy for the drive). But, our dear girl was so good. Except for waking briefly when we stopped for gas, she slept the rest of the way until 6:00 this morning. She waited patiently for us to stop in Sikeston, Missouri. We checked into a Holiday Inn Express for the day/night and will continue the rest of the drive to South Bend tomorrow morning. We'll be taking our time, stopping at rest stops for "play breaks", lunch, and hopefully make it to SB in the evening.

Anyway, to the poop! We had just gotten back to our room after eating dinner at Ruby Tuesday. Cleaned the bathtub, filled it up, added the toys, removed a poopy diaper, and plopped miss munchkin in the tub. Less than a minute later.....floaties, and I don't mean the kind that help you swim! Get munchkin out. Aaron comes in to help clean the tub when we see more poop on Clara's leg! Clean the bum and legs, again. Still cleaning the tub, Clara is hanging out waiting patiently for bath time, and pooping again on the floor! Oh my gosh! Aaron's still cleaning the tub, I'm cleaning the bathroom floor, Clara wanders in to the room, to poop on the carpet! Are you kidding me! By this time I finally decide it's a good idea to put a diaper on her, since she is clearly enjoying this too much. By the time everything is cleaned up Clara had apparently decided she was done; there couldn't possibly have been anymore left in her after all that, anyway. We had a successful bath and now she's all tucked in. It occurred to me that she had 2% milk for breakfast this morning at the hotel. Maybe it upset her tummy. Who knows? :)

Until later
