Bananas

A while back Suzy was peeling a banana and noticed that Jace seemed interested. She sat down on the floor and fed it to him. Ever since then, whenever Jace sees a banana being peeled, he sits down on the floor to wait for his banana. It's pretty cute.

Oh So Fun

Tonight was a bit on the interesting side. I was trying to activate a replacement Credit Card (verifying lots of minutia from my credit report. Such as where I lived when I was in college 10 years ago), when I heard Suzy yelling for me from the bathroom. Nope, she hadn't fallen in the toilet (this time) (or anytime really. I figured I better put this part in just to make sure we're clear, Suzy has never fallen into the toilet to my knowledge), in fact, she was standing over the tub holding Jace up by his arms.

Our hero of the first part of the bath (Faith) noticed that there was something floating in the tub that did not appear to be one of the usual toys. This was a problem, since Jace was just in the process of lifting one of these "non-toys" out of the water. Presumably to eat it. Just in time, Faith let us know that we had a Code Brown on our hands. Yup, sweet little Jacers had contaminated the tub. With poop.

I went ahead and washed Jace's hands and mine (since I was holding his hands while on the phone with a VERY slow and deliberate credit card agent at this point). It was only after I got off the phone that I realized the full extent of the situation. And that I had been holding onto poopy-boy hands.

Anyway, Suzy used the handy poop spoon that she keeps for just such an occasion (A tradition that started with Faith I believe). Then she sanitized the bathtub with bleach, while we all stood around and watched (and discussed the poisonous qualities of bleach, despite the fact that it looks like water).

Then it was back in the tub! I came and got Jace out after Suzy was done with him, made him a bottle and was trying to put him to bed, when Kate came upstairs and let me know that Faith had started throwing up in the tub. And not just once. Kate later observed that just thinking about it made her not feel so good. I added my Amens to that. She also observed that it had been a very interesting bathing experience that evening.

At least no one peed in the tub. Well, that we know of.
