Firsts

I've always felt a little bad for dads. They have to go out and work and they only get to see their babies a few hours (if that) a day. I've especially felt that way when Ellie has a "first". Her first step, first tooth, etc. Overwhelmingly moms are the witnesses. Well, last night Darik came home, we ate dinner, & it was time for Ellie's bath. We thought it would be good daddy/daughter time so off the two of them went. We fill up the tub, a few minutes later she pees in it so we drain & fill up the tub again. Darik getting ready to scrub her down with soap, when all of a sudden she has a "first" right in front of darik. The first poo in the tub. I helped clean up the mess, disenfect the tub, and fill it up again. I didn't take a picture, it was not appropriate. But I wanted to give a shout out to D for being able to witness one of Ellie's "firsts". Hee.

  2. Well, I do have to say I asked for it. Lance did this a few days ago. It was terrible. So, Jan took care of the mess for me. Sometimes I have a rather weak stomach.

    The sad thing is that both the kids were in the bath and Arayah was the one that asked me what was floating in the water. Poor girl.
