Month 15: Hazards of Being a Mother

This morning when Xuan woke up, she did a poo. So as I was preparing to change her diaper, I gave her one of her shoes to play with. I was laying out the wet cotton pads to wipe her butt, when she suddenly called my attention and held out her right hand towards me, with her index finger and thumb pinched together.



Lately, she has been taking great pleasure in snatching the cotton pads from me when I want to change her diaper and tearing off bits of fluff, and holding the teeny, weeny pieces of fluff between her fingers for me to take and throw away. She would keep holding out her hand and say “mmm...mmm...MMMM!!” until I take the piece of fluff away from her, then she would happily go back to tearing off another piece and repeating this whole interesting activity.


Thinking that there was no fluff in her hand, as she had been playing with her shoes, and not with the cotton, I just pretended to take the “thing” from her fingers, and was about to pretend to discard it in the air...when I noticed that there was actually something, now between my fingers....something brown...a little speck...*sniff*...something smelly....UH OH!!! Too late, I remember that lately Xuan had also been putting her hand down her diaper in her sleep to scratch her butt...YIKES! She had put her hand down her dirty diaper and took out a piece of shit! And passed it to me!!


AIEEEEEEEEE...wipe my hands , wipe Xuan’s hands, look at shoes...AIEEEEEEE...wipe shoes, change diaper, wash my hands, wash Xuan’s hands...try to wipe everything I thought she had touched after that....sigh...the hazards of being a mother...
