Bath time… splash time, yippiddee dooo…

November1

…what more could you want?  how about poo….
that’s right… Poo!  Not the cute little Pooh Bear… no, good old fashioned “dirt”…
So tonight I thought I’d get a jump on getting Vienna ready for bed, so at 5pm I got ready for her bath.  I filled the tub, got out her toys, and took off her dirty diaper.  It was going to be a nice long and special bath, because since we weren’t going to use the little baby blow up tub, but instead use the whole tub, there would be room for her new bath toy boat that her Mimi got her for her birthday a few months ago. 
I set her down in the bathroom infront of the sink, so that I could double check the water temp and such… she starts making funny cries, and i’m not sure why… until I turn around… she’s just peed, not only on herself, but on the bath mat and on the jammies i had set out for her to wear this evening… she barley missed the bath towel.  This should have been my first clue to abandon ship, but, since I’m not winning mother of the year anytime soon, this did not dawn on me!!!!!
So we get in the bath… she is playing along nicely.  I figure, lets get that hair washed and wash her down first so that she can just enjoy the rest of her bath (She doesn’t like her head getting wet) so we did that.  Not one minute later… HUGE BUBBLE.  “Vienna, do you have to go potty?”  she viggorously shakes her head no… I tell her I think she does… nope, she was right… she didn’t have to go…ANYMORE!!!  Nope, she’s already had a nice BIG potty and left me a nice mound of dirt to clean up.  So, I start the tub draining (this means I have to be within a half inch of touching the stuff since she was sitting right by the drain when she left the deposit). I point at the dirt and tell her that the dirt goes in the potty, and for good measure put her on it. Yes, I know, she’s only 14 months old and totally doesn’t get it yet, but I figure anything I can do to help her learn now will be good.  Besides, she’s ahead of the curve on the “terrible twos” kicking in… why not potty training!!?!?!?!
So then I have to put her back in the tub, scrub her down and pour fresh water over her to clean her up… she LOVES this!! (yeah, right!) so, i set her down and start to collect the toys so that I can do all the cleaning at once…. she, naked as a jay bird, starts racing through the house… ***rolling eyes***  I can just see trails of “water” and “dirt” trailing behind… luckily this did not happen….
So now I’m sitting here writing you to avoid dirt duty!  I know I can’t wait too long or it will dry and it will be much worse… but you know baby poo… it’s not clumps of dirt, more like… pies of dirt :)   well, I’d best get off to it…
