Day 14 - What The??

I just had my first, real "what the hell is going on here!?" situation present itself a moment ago...

Now, you may think that Ethan vomitting everywhere would have been that moment...but I understood that situation. I just didn't know what to do about it.

This situation was totally different. I am still confused and trying to figure it out.

First of all, I went up to check on Summer and, though she had been sleeping, she was now awake.

We go through the normal pleasantries you might share with a 3 year old girl who has been throwing up everything she puts in her body for 2 days...

Then she gets this vaguely weird look on her face as she puts her hand under her and pulls it up and looks at it.

First thought: Great, she sh*t herself and her parents bed...

Second thought: I will only clean up the mess attached to the living, breathing thing.

At this point I ask what she found and she tells me she's wet.

Now I have shifted my line of thought from "#2" over to "#1" and am way more comfortable with the clean up requirements associated with this mess.

So I pick her up, move her to the side, and pull back the covers.

ENORMOUS WET MARK.

The sheets are this off-white, almost beige color and when mixed with the drying liquid it looks like a giant copy of the original Declaration of Independence...

Naturally, I do what any other human would do...I smell it to see if its pee.

It is odorless.

Hmmmm...So now I decide I should come up with possibilities and work backwards...These possibilities are:

1) She peed.

2) She was running a fever and started sweating like an overweight NBA player...

3) She fell asleep with her sippy cup next to her and its contents seeped out while she slept.

Because I majored in journalism and not "investigative journalism" I am no longer too worried about this...I believe her sippy cup spilled so that saved me the trouble of beating her for peeing the bed...which was nice!

(Just kidding I would never lay a hand on these kids...noone likes a child beater - spread the word...)

Anyways...I'm going with option 3

PS - CEO/CFO you guys might want to change your sheets tonight...
