Sweet Betsy Ross!

OK, so a few random facts first, so that parts of this make sense:

1. Ben hasn't pooped in about two days.

2. Ben never gets juice in his sippy cup; it is always water or milk.

3. I scrubbed the front of Ben's changing table/dresser today for the second time since he was born. That's twice in 15 months.

4. Ben likes to walk naked from the bathroom to the bedroom and this has never been an issue.

So fast forward to the story of my day:

Ben pooped five times today, the last two nasty diarrhea that squirted either up or out of his shirt. Nice. I decided to give him a bath tonight, even though it's not a 'bath night,' in order to insure his cleanliness after such nastiness. After his bath, I let him walk naked to his room, as always. I handed him a sippy cup of apple juice, which he has been allowed these past few days because he's had a high fever and isn't eating or drinking much of anything. I laid him on the changing table and got out a diaper. He proceeded to throw his sippy cup of juice onto the floor, and of course it was one of those crappy Take 'n' Toss ones, so the top popped off. Apple juice all over the carpet, wall, and front of the freshly scrubbed dresser. I said SON OF A and mentally wrestled with which I should take care of first: diapering my son or cleaning up the carpet... and opted for the second since the Scotch guard type stuff had the juice at least temporarily beading up on the floor. I put Ben in the hallway on the laminate flooring and he proceeded to pee. A large lake of urine.

About this time, Josh got home, and I yelled to him from the bedroom, "Hiiiiii. Apple juice on the carpet or pee in the hall?" and he said, "Ummm... either?" And I said, "Take the pee."

Grr.

So in the past 24 hours, Ben has had two gross nasty squirty poops, splashed apple juice (which he never gets) onto the front of a freshly cleaned dresser (which I never clean), and peed in the hallway (which he never does). Awesome.

Now go vote in the boy/girl poll.
