I said "pee in the bucket" not "poop in the tub!"

This morning, my sweet little boy had a first that I really hope is a last!
It was bath time.
I have a little pee-pee machine who becomes a fountain the minute he hits the warm water in the tub, so I have been trying to get him to pee in a warm bucket of water before I actually lay him in the tub (so I don't have to change the bath water when he inevitably pees in it.)
But for some reason that is not working ... and he waits to pee until he is in the tub.

Anyhow, today was like any other day, where I put him in the bucket and say,"Pee in the bucket, sweets!" and of course he doesn't.
And of course he peed in the bathtub as soon as I transferred him. And a few moments later, I see another fountain of pee shooting up again and I look down and he has not only peed, but POOPED in the bath!

So of course I do what any mom would do ... yell for his dad.

"Oh my gosh! Joel, come here! Now!"
"What is it? Did he pee?"
"Yes ... and he pooped!!!!!!!!!!"
"We knew it was going to happen sometime."

We did? Do all babies do this? I really hope this was a one-time occurrence.

So I quickly get the babes out of the water and stick him back in the bucket to finish bathing him. I first try to get his hands clean (the hands that kept trying to swat the lovely little deposit he made earlier) because he has become the Orlando two-foot hand-eater lately.
And of course, he immediately starts eating his hands, and I worry in the back of my mind that I didn't get every possible trace of ecoli off his hands. But then I reassured myself and said, "He tried to bat at his deposit, but he never actually touched it, so I think we are good."

Meanwhile, Joel scoops that lovely deposit out of the bathtub, flushes it down the toilet and proceeds to clean the mess.

Gosh, I can't wait until my pee-pee machine (who we also call Dr. Pooper) is potty-trained.
