"Code Brown"

We got the term "code brown" from Tricia and Dustin and I am sure every parent out there, has at one point experienced what I am referring to. Just a few words will give you a clue as to what I might be talking about: naked child and bath tub = a code brown.

Last night Reagan was in the process of her usual bedtime routine. She was in the bath, Darrin is the one that gives her a bath at night, I am usually cleaning up from dinner or just taking a break from being around her all day. Since we ate dinner over at a friends, I didn't have any cleaning to do so I was hanging out in the bathroom with them while she played in the bath. For some reason I decided to wash my face and while I am washing my face, Darrin is sitting on the side of the tub talking and looking at me. I forget what we were talking about, but I see Reagan doing something out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look at her and said "What does she have in her hands!?!" Darrin looks down at her and says, "POOP!!"

Holy Crap, we were seconds away from letting our daughter eat poop! We all know that anything in their hands shortly after goes to their mouth, thankfully we were able to get her out before it was REALLY bad!

Darrin got her out, I washed off her hands in the sink, (remember my face was wet because I was washing mine at the time I noticed all this) Darrin finally gets it all out, takes all her toys out, runs hot water and soaps it all down, cleans the tub, then we put her back in and soap her all down. What a mess, not to mention we are now way her past bedtime!

Just thought I would start off the week with a laugh. I'm sure you other mom's know exactly what I am talking about and have been through this before. If not, someday it will happen to you!
