This morning little EC let us sleep in, all the way until 8:00. I was very grateful, until I went in to say good morning.

I should say, first, that whether it is all the extra drooling because of teething, or the new variety of foods that she’s been trying, she has not been very ‘regular’…a bit runny, actually. But happy and without a temperature, so I’ve just been scaling back on the food variety a bit till we find out what her system doesn’t like so much.

Returning to this morning, I don’t know how long she’d been awake, but it must have been awhile. Long enough to soil…her diaper…her pants…her shirt up to her neck…her blankets…at least the crib itself and the walls escaped. There might not have been any on her socks, but I forget. And she looked up at me as I came in, and gave me a great big smile. I imagine many other babies would be very displeased with staying in that state for any length of time, and most would have just called out for help as soon as it happened. Not little EC, no…most patient baby ever.
