Why does my butt smell minty fresh?

As I have been lathering both my kiddos up with Destin these past few days, a really funny story keeps popping in my mind. So I thought I would share because a) The story doesn't involve me and b) The story doesn't involve my stupidity, which frequently comes ripping through the seams of most of my stories lately.

Brayden had an ear infection the entire month before I had Cami and with his ear infection came many different kinds of antibiotics, which in turn caused lots and lots of unpleasant diapers and with these unpleasant diapers came some pretty nasty diaper rashes. Three days before my scheduled c-section, we had finally gotten rid of the ear infection but Brayden came down with a nasty stomach bug! Let's just say it is really hard to care for your sick, whiny toddler when you are 5 days from your due date.

As you can imagine, my hospital stay felt like a week long trip to the spa and yes, I was recovering from major abdominal surgery...that's how bad it was at home! Brayden stayed with my parents during my quite lovely hospital stay...lucky them and yes, he did infect them and my visiting brother with the stomach bug. They brought him to visit me in the hospital and told me about the mornings activities, one of which involved lubing my son's bottom up with toothpaste??? Apparently, Brayden had a poopy diaper so my dad got stuck with diaper change duty. Papa (my dad as he is known to Brayden) took him upstairs, changed his diaper and applied the cream that my mother had given him, which turned out to be Brayden's toothpaste.

When they told me this story in the hospital, I couldn't stop laughing...not good for a c-section recovery, as some of you may know. Although lack of glasses and general confusion have been given as reasons for the mistake, I think it may have been from the over tiredness that having a toddler in the house generally causes...that a senility...just kidding Dad (and Mom too!)
