Elijah has had quite the week when it comes to poo-ing (just the post all of you want to read, but too bad, I'm writing this so I can guilt-trip Eli with it when he's older). I actually called Jon on Monday morning to complain and get some sympathy for having to clean up the most gigantic poo Elijah has ever had. Uncle Jeremy, who described one of Elijah's diapers as containing "elephant poop," would have been horrified.
I was reading a book on the floor to Elijah, who had just walked over and was standing up next to me, when I looked down and said, "What's that on your leg sweetie?" And then I realized what it was on his leg. And then I saw the poo-trail leading from the kitchen into the living room. Yuck. He was covered from knee to armpit, up his back, and up his tummy. Blech.
Jon and I sometimes tease each other about Eli's diapers and call them 4-wiper-diapers, 6-wiper-diapers, etc. The highest I think I've ever gotten previously was 10 wipes. Well, this one was a behemoth - a 27 wipe diaper. And I get three passes out of a wipe using the wipe, fold the wipe, wipe with the same wipe, fold the wipe, wipe again, method. So this was a biggie. A blowout of massive proportions. I could live peacefully never having to see a diaper like that again. Sadly, this was not to be the case.
This morning I was on the phone with my mom, when the words, "Uh-oh, Elijah don't step in your poo," came out of my mouth. I never though I would utter those words. Ever. Not a good thing. Not as bad as Monday (only 12 wipes), but the outfit still had to be rinsed and the floor had to be washed up (again!) as well. I don't know what's gotten in to this kid, but I want it to stop! I should at least get hazard pay if this keeps up! :)

Wow, again? Yikes!
We could always just upgrade from the current "level 3" diapers we're using to "level 10" ones or something.
Sure, there might be some associated extra cost, and Eli might look a bit silly wearing a diaper that dips below his knees after we put it on him, but if it will save either of us from saying that "don't step in your poop!" line again... :-)
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....
Sounds like a wonderful day! I thought the days of poo going all the way up the back were done once we got the kids on solid food. I always believed the diaper could hold it in better once it had some solidity. Well, like all mother's we eventually find out that occasionally a YUCKY one sneaks back in when we least expect it! Good Luck. - Toni
