We had an exciting morning today. Evan had been backed up, no poop for a day and a half. I gave him prunes yesterday to help, but they didn’t work their magic until this morning. After breakfast, he had a pretty full diaper. When I peeked inside I knew it was going to be challenge. Poop was all the way from the end of his crack to his penis. All contained in the diaper, but everywhere!
Five wipes later, he was clean enough to carry, and we went to the bathroom to get the tub ready for an impromptu bath. I left his onesie on so he wouldn’t get too cold, and I turned the heat on in the bathroom. He likes standing next to the tub while it fills with water, and he gets excited in anticipation of touching the water and splashing it around. The difference this time: he didn’t have a diaper on, and as soon as the water started running, he peed. He was so surprised! He had never peed standing like that, without a diaper! Sure, during diaper changes he has gotten all of us covered in pee, but never standing, getting his own feet wet. He looked down, then back at me, then down again. Shocking! He then moved to the side, and as I ran to the kitchen (5 steps away) he got down on his knees and was splashing the pee with his hands! He was happy; me, not so much. But it was still fun to watch!
I dried up the floor quickly, got his wet onesie off, and into the bath tub he went. All was normal after that, but watching him discover peeing standing was fantastic. Watching him discover any little thing is just awesome.
