i've arrived...

it's safe to say that avery is grounded until she is potty trained.

caught her red-handed and it wasn't very ladylike! 

ha ha. in all seriousness, before this event, i thought the "blow outs" that everyone referred to with their babies was when the diaper leaked a little on their clothes.  that was all that had ever happened to us before this.  i was so shocked when i was holding her, and looked down and realized what was all over her, my sheets, and ME.  we burned the sheets and the house was under quarantine for some time :)

there was a time in my life when i was very naive.  a couple summers ago, i was swimming with my nieces, and noticed something dark in one's swimsuit. i pinched her little bum and said, "there must be a lot of sand in her swimsuit!"  needless to say, i don't think i'd fall for that any more ha ha.  in regards to matters of poop and parenthood, i've arrived.  although it's only the beginning of my journey in excrement, i'm gaining credentials.

i know it is very unnecessary to post these pictures....but avery will just appreciate it so much some day. 

almost as much as i appreciated cleaning this up.
