The Corner

There are certain moments in motherhood where your worst fears are realized. A simple look, a moment, a smell, a phrase, and your life is changed forever.

After a very short nap, Owen was crying, which was extremely unusual. He was never the first one up.

As I walked in, I could immediately smell why.

I walked over to his bed and rubbed his back and was about to pick him up and change his diaper.

"Oh, you pooped, you poor thing," I said, sympathetic to my baby trying to nap with a soiled diaper.

"I pooped over there too," He said as he pointed to the corner of the room.

And my life will never be the same.
