Happy Birthday

Yesterday was Jeff's birthday and we had the pleasure of going out to dinner. My parent's gave Jeff the gift of watching the kids so that we could do this. Anyway, we had a lovely adult dinner with adult conversation and I can asure you that there was no crying at this dinner table. We also shared a bottle of wine and I probley had a couple to many glasses (oh well, it was a birthday celebration).
When we got home, we got the report from my mom. She told us that everyone was fine expect Hayden, who had developed a case of diaherria and had had a few accidents. He also had a major case of diaper rash on his bottom. She had put butt cream on him and he was just about sleeping when we got home. I checked on everyone and settle down to bed to sleep off all my alcohol so that I could get up and go to work sober.
I was rudely awaken from my slumber by two kids screaming. Hayden was at the top of the stairs screaming the his butt hurt and he had woken up Jake. I woke up Jeff and went to deal with Jake.
After Jake was asleep I entered the bathroom and Jeff has Hayden naked and has started the bath tub because there really is no better way to clean a poop covered boy. After much screaming, a genorous application of butt cream and some new PJ's Hayden was back to bed.
Let me tell you that there is nothing more sobering than a liquid poop covered child at 1am.

Glad that happened on your watch--not mine. Seriously, I hope he is doing better today. Loretta
