DOODIE DIARY

[Doodle Diaries is a series of true stories brought to life by illustration. As always, these are real life anecdotes from my past. Names may or may not have been changed to protect the lives and dignity of the characters. Enjoy!]Have you ever had someone pee and poop in the palm of your hands? I have... Let me tell you about it.Jenna and I have been adjusting to our new life as parents, and I think we're adjusting as well as could be expected. You know how everyone says there's nothing like the love you feel for your child and how it's a feeling you can't explain and you have to have your own child to fully understand what that kind of unconditional love feels like? Well, that's probably true, but I'll try my best to explain it with the following story.So Jenna and I were going to give Liam a bath, his second bath of his life. We were waiting for him to have a poop, so we could just bathe him after that. We waited, and checked, and finally he had a little poop in his diaper. So we took off his clothes and diaper, and I was holding my naked child in my arms while waiting for Jenna to get the bath ready (I'm usually shirtless as much as possible. I find it easier than changing my shirt every time Liam spits up on me).

 Sure enough, as I'm holding Liam, I start to feel a warm stream of liquid roll down my hands and arms onto the floor. He done peed on me! It was kind of like, "Awwww, he's peeing on me. It's so cute. I knew this moment would come and now that it's here it's so funny and heartwarming!"

 And then he shitted on me.

 It was the most disgusting explosion of runny baby poop and it happened literally in the palm of my hand. It got all over my stomach and feet. But you know what, it was all right because it was my son's runny baby poop sliding through my fingers. Anyone else shits on me and it's a different story. Son poops on me - all good. I know it's not the best example, but it's my way of expressing how much I love my son. Not only did he pee and poop on me and it was okay, it was damn straight endearing.Never ever grow up!- Dru
