Holy CRAP!

This has to be the Toddler Drama for the month in this house for sure.

I had just zapped Chance's lunch in the microwave, but it was too hot for him to eat right away. Chance was happily playing with his toys in his room anyways. I popped into the office to check the email, and just then, Chance walked into the office holding something out to me. He bumped right up against my leg and thrust the object at me. Thinking it was a piece of a toy that had broken off, I took it. Then I realized it was a chunk of poop. Specifically, his poop.

He had crapped in his diaper and the poop had channeled right up his butt-crack and hey, Chance is a curious little guy. So of course it made sense that he decided to wipe it allllll over the carpet. Of course.
