… and sometimes it happens in the bathtub.
So much of daily life now revolves around …. hmmm… well … you know. Have I packed enough diapers? Will there be a changing table? Is Holden going to be fussy if we don’t wait for an “event?” Everyone is staring … it was the baby!
I’m the girl with the sensitive gag reflex. The item in question doesn’t even have to be particularly disgusting …. to most people. Refried beans … buh-lah!
I am fascinated that what is considered rude and inappropriate in polite ADULT society is perfectly reasonable in baby world. And now for the first time in my life I just shrug my shoulders and deal with it … no hand over my mouth, no turning of my head, no running and screeching in horror.
I did not have a contingency plan for such an incident in the bathtub, though … I do NOW!
All I could think was, “I am so glad this happened on mommy’s watch!” I’m quite certain if daddy was faced with this unexpected scenario, someone would owe me some new fancy guest towels.
To all the mommies and daddies out there that have been wrangling nature with style and grace much, much longer than I have … I take my hat off to you, bravo, good show, splendid work!
PS
Bless the individual who created the DVR. I didn't miss my favorite show, SYTYCD in spite of Holden's valiant attempts. Four of the finalists are from Texas!

You know...the past two baths Ainsley has had, she got "the look" and I thought to myself...what am I going to do!?!?! Luckily she never followed through with "the look." Thank goodness. But if she ever does...I'm calling you for advice!
