I don't know what Anna has, but every one of her diapers is poopy. Her poor little behind! After 7 poopy diapers in a row it was just raw. So we put her in a bath, and she pooped in that. So we got her out of the bath, and let her run about without her drawers on, and she pooped on the floor. Wow.
In other news, I almost burned the house down today. I was trying to make dulce de leche by boiling some sweetened condensed milk. However, because we are moving this week, Richard had packed up all but a few small pots, which meant I had to continually refill the pot of boiling water as it evaporated.
Skip forward to an hour later. I am watching "Glee" while packing up our clothing from the bedroom and I realize I have not checked the pot in a long time. I run from the bedroom and the whole kitchen is full of smoke and the pot is bone dry and the can of sweetened condensed milk has morphed into a bloated, sinister, black aluminum can oozing caramel. I take the pan off the stove with a towel and then dive behind the counter, thinking of my next move. Have you ever had a pot explode in front of you from changing temperatures too quickly? Well, I have, and its kind of scary. So I let it cool down for a couple of minutes, and then seeing one of Anna's sippy cups nearby filled with water, I grabbed the cup, took off the lid, and threw the water in the general direction of the pot, all while ducking for cover. I heard loud hisses of steam, but no pop and shatter, so all was well.
Needless to say, the dulce de leche was not salvagable (and that's a lot coming from me-- usually no food is too old or burned for me to eat it!).
The house is a wreck. Anna is a poop machine. And we are moving....in three days.
oh, right. now for a question so I can get people to comment on my post. So what can I do to get Anna to stop pooping. What can stop up a baby! And does anyone know if a metal pot can explode if it gets too hot and then is cooled down too quickly. These situations seem to come up frequently and I could use the advice for next time. And there is always a next time!
