Warning: If you don't like hearing about baby poop, you might not want to read this.
Gavin woke up a little early from his morning nap, so I put him in the jumperoo for a few minutes while I finished up with some things. I heard Emery waking up and was on my way up to get her, when I looked over at Gavin. Hmmmmm, that's weird......why does he have poop on his leg? THEN I saw the carpet below him. Holy cow (or insert other appropriate word)! I just froze, trying to figure out what to do next. After taking a picture (of course), I ran up to get Emery and put her in a safe place while I took care of Gavin. In the mean time Gavin was still bouncing in poop. I decided that a kitchen sink bath was too gross, so I layed out a mat on the floor and started the cleanup process from head to toe......between his toes and even under his toenails! Ok.....now he's clean. How the heck do I clean the carpet? I started looking through all of the carpet cleaner in the cabinet. Not sure what I was looking for. It all says "removes coffee, wine, pet stains, etc....". I never found any that specifically listed baby poop (haha), so I just picked one. I gave it a few tries with the spot cleaner and decided that I needed to drag out the carpet shampooer right away. I went upstairs and grabbed the inflatable duck bathtub that we no longer use, blew it up, and filled it with toys (sort of like the ball pit at Chuckee Cheese). This was an effort to keep the babies occupied so that I had time to use the carpet cleaner. Thank goodness, it was a HUGE hit and kept them busy for quite a while (especially Emery). Oh.....and then after all of this, I had to disassemble the jumperoo for poop removal. TONS of fun.
Also, we put our house on the market today, so the realtor stopped by to put the sign in the yard(more about that later)!!!! Nothing like leaving the buyers a little present, huh? So, for all of you who need a visual. Here you go..... Enjoy!

Here is the ball pit (duck bathtub)......
Also a hat......
Also a stepstool......
And a boat (Excuse the crazy hair. It's out of control these days)......
After crawling in and out a buzillion times, she decided to move on to the laundry basket.......
And another picture of Gavin (without poop), just to keep things fair......

I think it is hilarious how happy Gavin looks with poop all over him!
Shelley, I am so.....sorry. Gavin is really really a chip off the old block. Reminds me of one of his dad's episodes--the one with his new little leather workboots that his grandmother had bought for him. It was his first day wearing them. I'll fill you in when I see you next month, just in case Peter can't remember the story. Leather cleaner, toothpicks and finally an old toothbrush, so that they were wearable again. Some traits just should not be passed down.
