One of those days

Sometimes the tone for the day is set the day before. Last night Allen and I looked at the number of clean diapers covers we had and decided that if we started laundry first thing in the morning we would have enough. Unfortunately we both forgot to start the laundry bright and early. Also, Liam was fussy when he was going to sleep last night and woke up every hour during the night. He didn't seem to be feeling much better when he got up in the morning.

So after the laundry had finally been started, and Allen had left to take Tisha to the vet, I looked over and saw that Liam was either putting in or taking out a piece of mulch from his mouth. It was saturated with saliva, so I'm guessing it had been in there for a while. The last time he had access to mulch was yesterday morning, so I really hope that it wasn't in there all that time. He ate several meals and nursed uncounted times in between.

When I got the mulch away from him he wanted to nurse. That was fine, but while he was nursing I realized that he had pooped and it had already leaked out of his diaper. All the diaper covers were, naturally, in the washer.

So I took him back to see if by any chance the diaper cover could be reused. You guessed it. Nope. Then I realized that I had no water by the changing table to clean him off with. Bath time.

So he hung out in the bath until the washer was finished. Then I put the diapers in the dryer, changed the water and put him back in the tub until he got completely tired of it. After that he sat around in towels for a while, waiting for the diapers to dry.

Shortly after that he fell asleep nursing and slept for almost three hours. I guess all that bathing wore him out. Or maybe he has allergies or something. Anyways, he was in a much better mood this evening.
