Our little lady still doesn't know what the heck a nap is and still need major assistance in getting to sleep. So today I was at my wits end - I was tired of walking, swaying and bouncing and I had run out of songs to hum, so I decided to take her for a walk. I needed to rush because if I delayed it any longer she would get cranky so I set up the stroller as quickly as I could, popped her in and we were off. We ended up walking for half an hour - almost two miles - and I was wearing flip flops (I rushed out remember?) Good thing it was a beautiful day. So anyway, we arrived back home and Caroline was sound asleep. I did a mini celebratory dance and carefully carried her inside. I decided to leave her in the car seat - didn't want to risk waking her up if I moved her - and I settled down on the couch to catch up on some sleep of my own. I wasn't laying down for two seconds when the little munchkin decided to start stirring. I let her go for a bit and she seemed to settle and thought I was in the clear.
Well guess finally napping made her incredibly relaxed because she decided to poop like crazy and then proceeded to fall back asleep. So I went to check on her and discovered that she pooped in such mass quantities that it was way too much for the diaper to handle - translation. . .poop EVERYWHERE! So I carefully scooped her up, changed her and put her in her bassinet hoping she would go back to sleep - and thankfully she did.
I took the destroyed onesie into the basement along with the cloth diaper we use for protection in the car seat (yes this has happened before) along with a few other items to throw them in the wash. This is what they looked like:

Now for those of you who have no experience with baby poop I'll explain in a nutshell. . . it stinks and it stains! So I whip out my new favorite product (drum roll please). . .

Shout Advanced spray is the best! I could hug the person who created it. Here's why - after simply spraying the Shout spray on the poop covered items and one run through the washing machine this is what I got:

Isn't that amazing? Wow - do I sound like a salesman or what? Must be all those late night infomercials! I would also like to add that with a little assistance from my best friend the Tide pen I was able to clean off the tiny bits of poop from the car seat cushion and my pants. (unfortunately I had to throw that Tide stick away after that - couldn't imagine using it again - and for those of you who know me and my tide pen, you know it was a little painful)
So that's my story. Hope you found it interesting and I hope you find Shout spray as amazing as I do. I'd also like to add that once I finished cleaning everything and had the option of napping I wasn't feeling tired anymore and ended up folding laundry and watching women's Olympic beach volley ball longing for six pack abs and a nice tan. And I ended up with a blister from the flip flops. Oh well, at least one of us got to sleep today!

Last minute I know, and there is so much more to consider for you guys, but if Caroline is up for a field trip we are having a house warming on Saturday - roughly from 4 - 11 but we'll be home all day. You can email me at sarahpinault@gmail.com. Trying to invite everyone without having to figure out which box the address book is in! If not don't worry, we'll set a play date to come down and visit your newest addition before the snow starts!
