Williams Family Update: Poop Edition
Levi and Logan are still tearing it up, as usual. Well, mostly Levi I guess. Logan is not yet mobile, but he sits up and rolls over, and we expect him to start crawling soon now. Mostly what he does is eat and poop, with an emphasis on the poop. Levi poops too. His poops are much bigger, and with the consistency of an adult poop. Logan definitely has him beat in terms of pooping frequency, but Levi may have the edge overall simply because of the sheer nastiness of his poops.
As you might infer, Lisa and I are changing a lot of diapers. I would have to rate changing diapers as probably the least wonderful part of being a parent. If I was writing a book about parenthood I would be tempted to title this chapter something like “The Abominable Necessity of Touching Other People’s Poo-Poo.” I’ve taken to wearing a medical glove on my wiping hand for especially unpleasant diaper-change assignments, and yet I still end up feeling tainted somehow, in a way that soap and boiling water can’t quite seem to erase. (Insert Lady Macbeth analogy here.)
I’m very much looking forward to the day that both of our boys are potty trained, and can do these things for themselves. Oh, how glorious it will be. Parenting will seem like a downhill coast from that point on, I think. That day can’t come soon enough. Tomorrow would be good. If we can’t make tomorrow, let’s shoot for next Tuesday.
