The Inevitable

I knew it was coming. It was only a matter of time. But even when you're always waiting for it, even when you know it's inevitable, it always takes you by surprise. Yup, your kid pooping in the bath is just one of those things you can't avoid. Today was the day. And not the last, I know. She was sitting there, so cute as usual, and I, oblivious to what was brewing, splashed with her in the water. I stood her up to wash her bum and when I took my hand away there was poop on it. That's when she really let go. I couldn't even use the water in the tub anymore because it had become too infested. So I took her out and ran the water in the tub and began washing her. By the time I was done her lips were trembling, she goosebumps all over and she was shivering. I felt awful. There's got to be a better way of dealing with this type of situation without giving my baby hypothermia! Ah the life of a parent...and I've only just begun!
