Well here I am, looking at people's blogs while I eat breakfast. I try to do something when I eat because otherwise I think too much about what I am eating and the mouthfeel and all I can say is that this pregnancy, food doesn't do well with me, especially in the mornings.
The kids are in the tub, playing nicely together--a sound every mother loves to hear. But, why are they in the tub, besides the fact that kids get stinky and sticky in a matter of minutes and need baths on a regular basis.
Well, I woke up to Jonathan trying to climb into my bed, fortunately I have an innate sense of smell that instinctly kicks in whether or not my brain is fully functioning. This instinct told me to not allow him into my bed or to sit or lean against anything and to change his diaper immediately. Yes, he had a major blow-out diaper. So much so that I spent quite a while rinsing the onsie in the toilet to get all the grossness out. Jon would have just thrown the onsie away. This called for a bath, but Jonathan hadn't eaten or I should say, engrossed himself in, breakfast yet--which is usually quite the event in and of itself. He loves to make himelf into an art form with whichever cereal he is having. For this reason I generally don't dress him until after he is finished. So today, I fed him in the tub. It brought back memories of feeding babies and teaching them how to eat, so it was kind of fun, and he didn't get all messy. Aubrey and Mariah could use a bath too, so as soon as they were done eating, I had them get into the tub. Then it was off to start the yucky laundry, clean up the girls breakfast and ahhh, sit and read some blogs. Well, now I have taken too long-- Aubrey is calling for me to come and bath them and Jonathan is getting out of the tub. Off to finish a task in a day of a mother!

I actually read blogs every morning during breakfast. It is my get ready to start the day moment.
I always read blogs at night, after the kids ar ein bed and the house is cleaned up, but I do often have a bowl of cereal with me while I read the blogs.
I think I would have to agree with Jon if I encountered that mess I dont know that I would have gone to the trouble of cleaning it out. I am surprised you don't get more sick in the AM waking up to stinky diapers. Are you going to try to potty train Jonathan before little one #4?
Yeah, I'm with Jon too--whenever Abi has a blow-out, which is about once a week (she's an "all-or-nothing" type of girl) there's no way I'm rinsing it out--I usually just Cut her out of it and then into the trash!
