Bathtime Madness

Everett's second bath turned into quite the experience! We prepped everything before heading to the bathroom, sure to take his towel, washcloth, bath wash, lotion, diaper, wipes, etc. And we heated the room before bringing him in and stripping him naked (it's January in Michigan - it's cold!). After stripping him to his diaper, we removed the diaper to expose him to air and quickly replaced it, as we've been warned that a geyser may start after exposure to air. After some time, when we were sure he wasn't going to pee, we removed the diaper completely and placed him in the tub. Not a minute later, out came a loud fart... he poo'd in the bath! We got him cleaned up from that and tried again. A few minutes later, the geyser game, spraying everywhere. Strike 2. We finished up his bath, swaddled him in a towel and took him to his changing table to get dressed. We'd picked out his best outfit for that day because we were actually leaving the house for once. We got the onsie over his head just in time for vomit, and I mean massive amounts of vomit, to spew from his mouth and nose, all over him, his shiny new outfit, and everything else within vicinity. Strike 3... we quit!

I was pretty nervous for his next bath after that complete disaster. Fortunately, all we wound up with during bathtime #3 was another pee geyser. I'll take it. :)
