I know she loves chocolate...and I know that when something may look like chocolate that it may be tempting to find out if in fact, it is chocolate. What happens when the sniffer doesn't work or when she figured out mid-fun that it was a really, really REALLY bad idea? Yes, I know, she was just getting started. And she wasn't thinking it was a bad idea. Who doesn't love to squeeze something nice and squishy through their fingers?
Yes, it's true. She did the unimaginable. I've heard of kids painting walls, floors, themselves...with their own poop. But my kids? No. Never. Well, at least not the first five. They had their share of BIG noddies, yes. But our Viviana seriously is a different breed. It's not for lack of attention. She's not calling out due to a lack of love. She's just the WILD last CHILD. Or, maybe she's just the experimenting kind. I suppose now that this is a true fact of life, we can all move on and arm ourselves with different parenting skills.
She fought long and hard to get here and remain on this earth and she's gonna fight long and hard to make us remember that every step of the way. She's the one who requires a leash. Yes, a leash. Well, it's a harness, actually. I swear I'm gonna tie her to a tree in the front yard so she doesn't get hit by a car. And, she's our ONE
who painted her face with poop.
Lexie came downstairs and asked for something, then said, "by the way, Vivie took off her diaper upstairs and it's poop." Oh, by the way....really, is that a 'by the way' kind of situation? Didn't that look just a little out of the ordinary the moment she dropped her drawers and the smell permeated the upstairs? I guess it's not out of the ordinary to drop her drawers--she's known for that. I'm thankful Lexie was one her way downstairs, cause who knows what kind of casualties and damage would have occurred otherwise.
After being quarantined, a good shower, blasting mouth rinse and tooth brushing, lysol wipe-down on the floor, and Brayden's axe deodorant spray (the closest thing to where she wasand most potent smell around), we're like new again. Until next time. And don't give her any ideas of how else to torture mom. I'm sure she'll think of something on her own, that wild last child. So who wants to babysit my Vivie? Anyone? Anyone?
This is no April Fools... here is my photo proof. You ask, how did I have time to grab the camera? I couldn't resist. After I screamed at the very sight of her, I ran downstairs and grabbed my camera. Because she needs to see how noddy she truly was. Just be grateful you can't smell the lovely aroma through the photos.

Excuse me while I go barf! Yuck!!! Wes pooped in the tub the other day while he was bathing with G&CE...sent them running, naked & screeching in disgust. Funny thing was he figured that he should copy them even though HE was the pooper! I hope that's the worst of "those" messes I have to clean up. Viv's tests the gag reflux for sure!
yuck!!!
I didn't know whether or not to laugh or cry for you :(
One day Spencer took off both his and Jake's diapers (Jake was a tiny guy) and painted both them and their bedroom. I remember calling Matt in hysterics...too bad I didn't have the foresight to take pictures of that!
It's a good thing that girl is so cute!
That is so completely gross (and funny...cuz I didn't have to clean it up!) Sounds like something that Dylan would do...I'm just glad that he knows that poop is "d'guthtin'" (disgusting) Might I suggest duct taping the diaper!
Oh wow, I can't tell you how relieved I am that there are other kids out there like Lincoln! I'm sorry you had to go through with that, but... I was laughing so hard I was crying. "Special" moments like these REALLY help you appreciate the sweet times. :) And yes, duct tape all the way! Zippered jammies put on backwards (with the feet cut off) and taped off at the top. Barriers, barricades, locks, etc! Oh, and take those blackmail photos out for show and tell when a not-so-approved-of boyfriend comes around in a few years! :)
That has to be one of the funniest and at the same time saddest thing I have ever seen! I was laughing so hard, that I also had tears coming out of my eyes! Matt just asked where his phone was so that he could text you! He said you hould have taken a video, so that you could win $10,000!
You just have to love her. She is so darling even covered in POOP!
I'm cured. Oh that's disgusting, she has officially outdone what my two boys can conjure up together.
She sure is adorable though!
Holy crap!
I don't even have words........I think I might puke!
OK - I'm gagging! Maybe now would be a good time to potty train her.
I'm so thankful none of my six did this - or anything close to this! She doesn't seem to mind the smell - and that's a BIG problem!
Now she can be called "poopoo face" - Kevin now longer has a corner on that phrase!!!!!
Uh Oh. That is bad. Teach her a popular phrase from the Konchar casa: "Poop is not a cookie".
The "what do I do about her mouth" problem you encountered reminds me of a story from my best friend from when they lived in Hawaii. She put her little 9 month old in one of those baby swings that hangs under patio coverings. After a while, she realized he was sucking on something and what was that thing? A dead gecko. Yeah. Mouthwash can only do so much for your own psychological well-being.
You poor thing. You have my sympathy.
Ohhh I am soo sorry!! I love the first picture. She really did smear it on like lipstick. Poor little girl...was she just dying after she realized what is was?
Oh Man! the only thing that comes close to that in our house was messy diapers smashed all over the crib tents... and that was pretty nasty!
Wow! I am still laughing.
At least the harness you bought her is fashionable. Vivie is just waaaay too adorable.
I don't know if I should feel worse for you for having to clean it up (yuk!) or for her because now there's documentation that will follow her around FOREVER! I guess you could always think of this as an insurance policy for any prospective boyfriends down the road...Good luck with your cute, sweet, adorable hand full!
Shayla, I am laughing so hard....the look on her face...she looks so innocent! I'm so glad it was wasn't me that had to clean it up! Luckily neither of my kids ever did that!
Gross Shay....seriously, seriously, seriously GROSS.
We need to catch up. Life's been seriously hectic. Looks like it has been for you too - with all that poop to clean up and all. :)
Oh my word that is nasty!!! That girls is going to keep you on your toes!!!
Wow, I just might be speechless. But I am laughing!!!
oh that is tooo tooo funny! Betcha wanted to cry too! Same thing happened several times at my house with ONE child out of nine! We had to duct tape him. Yes, duct tape. It had to be the black seriously hard to take off stuff. We actually had to cut it off when we needed to change him. And STILL he would sometimes manage to get it off! Little stinker! My experience was on BRAND NEW WOOD FLOORS, freshly painted walls and dried on poop. Three hours later, I was still trying to get it all off! I have to say that was the most trying moment of mommyhood! Good luck Shay!
April Fool's Joke? nasty!
O.K. That is definitely disgusting. jan
That's so sad that it's funny. I have a crazy toddler, but she never did that. Thankfully!! I can smell that poop all the way over here!!!
Oh Shay... I am gagging right now!!
That is so funny.
Conner (now 5) was airing out after a bath and sat in the living room, pooped then drove a hot wheel through it.
My older bro has twins and they were WILD (still are!) They used packing tape to keep their diapers on.
Just a suggestion!
