Proud Moments When Things Get Tough


Sorry it has been so long since I have posted! I should be sent to the minors of the blog world! LOL Anyway if you are a regualr follower, please dont think I am neglecting you, I have just been ultra busy!


So....what has happened in the last two weeks? ALOT of course!


Jaymeson has been making progress. We still dont get to have a turd party, but I have faith we will! We have appointment at the GI doctor on Tuesday and we hope to get some news on a "next step", but we are assuming that it will be another appt where we are reasurred that we are headed in the right direction, but need to JUST KEEP AT IT! :)


One big moment I want to share is acctually a testiment to how wonderful of a big brother my older son, Jonas, is!


Last week Jaymeson must have snuck someone elses snack at daycare (that is the ONLY place I can think it would have happened). I only guess this becuase we woke up to a DISASTER.


And when I say DISASTER, I TRUELY MEAN IT!!!!!


I woke up and as usual I got Jonas up, packed lunches, packed bookbags, got a shower, did my make up and hair and got dressed. Then I went to go get Jaymeson.....


Now in the days before we started the new diet I used to do a "smell test" every morning. I would get up early, and walk past his room and SMELL if I needed to wake him up early! I know it sounds silly but it is just one of the many ways we had acquired ourselves to Jaymeson's Poop! However, since we havee been seeing so much improvement I have left this part of my morning out.


So....I was so surprised when I walked into his room and the stench hit me like a bag of bricks. WOW!!!! For such a "pretty little boy" he sure can clear a room!


I know what your thinking....WHAT DOES THIS STORY HAVE TO DO WITH JONAS!.....Just wait I'm getting there!


So back to the story, I had put Jaymeson in some adorable feety pjs for bed that night. I love to cuddle up to my babies in these jammies and they always sleep so sound in them. I went in to get him and at first I thought it was some stinky pooop, but the bed was clean. "YES, we are in the clear!"


What was I thinking! I started to unzip his pjs and WOW....poop was everywhere! And YES everywhere. In between his toes, under his toenails, in his arm pits! UGH!


Well, when this was a regular occcurance I used to have everything set up and ready to go. I would lay a bathtowel in the middle of the floor (he is WAY to big for a changing station), I would have a warm soapy wash cloth (only get him clean enough for a bath), lotion in case it was a mild poop and I didnt have time for the bath (I know, but sometimes we were bathing him two to three times a day!), diaper rash cream (when your poop ios so acidic that your brother gags from the smell you would need it too!), a plastic grocery bag (to dispose of the stench) and MANY MANY WIPES ( I swear I should have stock in HUGGIES!) but this hadnt happened in so long that I wasnt prepared.


So, I needed my main man, Jonas! I hollered for Jonas and he immediately showed me how awesome a big brother he can be! He ran into the bathroom and got me a bathtowel and before I could ask him he was running back in and getting a washcloth. Next I asked him to get me a diaper and wipes and he rocked it out agian. And at the end he even took the NASTY diaper, put it in the plastic bag and ran it out to the trash barrel! It was so great to see him WANT to help me and his baby brother! By the time we were done WE had accomplished it all in record time and Jonas was NOT late for the bus!


There are MANY MANY times that I am proud of Jonas and he shows me how much he wants to help his baby brother. BUT WOW, he had shown me just how amazing he is ONCE AGAIN!!!!!!
