Situation handled with tears and screaming —Nik’s not ours— as we had to rip him from the embrace of peaceful slumber to put him into the shower. I know, I know; it broke my heart but it was necessary.
Because of Nik’s g-tube (which involves an actual hole in his abdominal wall), the risk of anything getting into his abdominal cavity is enough that, well, it’s just one we can’t take.
Nik voiced his opinion after the shower with a very loud raspberry and proceeded to play in his clean crib for forty-five minutes. The rest of the night was spent in peaceful slumber for all.
Nik is beginning to wake up; I can hear his sleeping singing through the monitor. The sun is shining and a bright new day awaits.
Whew! Thank goodness he went back to sleep eventually. I can imagine the stress of keeping him all sparkly clean. Today will be a better day. I am counting on that here too!
Good for you. Your attitude is inspiring today! Have a wonderful day.
Yes, you should treat yourself to one of those hazelnut drinks you were craving yesterday. Well-deserved, and then some!!!
aw, man!
here’s to a new day, a new cup of steaming yummy coffee, and fresh sheets and a beautiful, rested boy.
You’re amazing. And so is Nik. He’s gorgeous.
I cannot even imagine what my children would do if I woke them up to put them in the shower. I’m glad it didn’t go too badly.
Maybe next time you could zip one set of pajamas up the back and then another one on the top zipped up the front.
Here’s to a new day!
Oh my I am sure that you must have gotten a shower too.
