wiiknd: the most dramatic fifteen minutes of my life.

after his first bath,
mat decided to pee on himself,
his towel, his blanket,
and my leggings.

we pick our softest hand towel to dry him
 after round two.
it was a glorious buttercream number 
from bed, bath and beyond.
he made this adorable face then suddenly and effortlessly
pooped the most vibrant green
i have ever seen in my life.

after his third bath,
i was sure his bowels were empty.
there was no way any yellow or green
was getting out of his system now.
wrong.
i was playing with his little feet
when i felt the warm liquid on my wrist.

i called it quits 
and baby wiped that shiz.
homeboy didn't deserve another bath.

babies are NUTS. and that newborn wanker and pooper wander around like they don't have a clue what they're doing for the first 2 months. i love that this happened to you because it's a good growing pain (and a hilarious story to tell.)
