L&D Lessons Learned from Being a Parent (Part 3 of 5)

I am not sure I can write a mini blog series on lessons I’ve learned in parenting without including a poop story, can I? But don’t worry, thankfully, this blog comes sans smells, and I will leave out most of the gory details.

When our youngest was two months old, we traveled as a family to Southern California for vacation. The trip unfortunately coincided with some constipation for our little one. With little babies, this isn’t necessarily uncommon. However, most caregivers know that after a poop hiatus, when it comes, it’s likely to be EPIC… so we were on high alert.

Day five. The poop came just after we had ordered our favorite double-doubles at a popular burger joint. (Of course it had to happen when we were out and about) So, I scooped up the baby and the diaper bag and headed to the restroom to change him.
