Babysitting Woes

Is it okay if I laugh my head off at what happened to Taneal? I should be ever so grateful and oh, so compassionate. But it is one of the funniest things EVER!

Did I mention I am doing the Summer of Seals? We have a wonderful lady that is the coach of my children's swim team. She opens the pool each morning at 5:30 for the parents of the swim team swimmers to come do laps. So, I have being seizing the opportunity and swimming. Evan has been occasionally going with me. It is great. Maybe not the 5:30am part, but the swimming.

I admit I am a sucker for babies crying. They cry, I give in. Toddlers cry, no problem. But babies? Yah. Gavin still sleeps with me. I know, I know. I've already lectured myself. And Gavin also crawls. So, if I'm not in bed and he wakes up, that could be disastrous. Solution? I wake Taneal up as I am leaving and she crawls in my bed and sleeps with Gavin.

This morning didn't go so well. Gavin woke up crying. Taneal tried to take care of him and it didn't work. She just doesn't have the right equipment. She can't nurse him. And that was what he wanted. She tried many things (no, she didn't try nursing him) but to no avail. Finally she decided to give him a bath. And for some reason she decided to climb in the bath with him.

So there they are in the bath together. When suddenly, Gavin pooped.

I can't even imagine how fast Taneal exited that bath tub. He is still nursing a lot, so the poop wasn't contained. It was ALL OVER THE PLACE!

Poor Taneal. Great story for me. Glad it wasn't me.

She is a super star baby sitter. Oh, how I love that girl.

And what is even funnier, is she took a picture of the tub full of poop. I didn't dare post that picture because it was quite disgusting. Glad she was able to laugh about it. I think she just wanted proof of what really happened.
