This past Friday, I experienced TRUE and unmistakable favor from the Lord. It shone ROUND about me. And I'm serious.
Here's how the story goes...
J & I went to playgroup that morning, which was held at Waterway Square in the Woodlands. (SO MUCH FUN--and I have pics to prove it!) J wore himself out playing in the fountains and was exhausted when we were getting ready to leave. I dried him off and put a fresh diaper on him and just let him go home in nothing but his diaper. Of course he was conked out when we got home, so I put him in bed (against my better judgment) wearing only his diaper. (I know all the other mamas out there are certain where this is going...)
I have been wondering since J's birth when he would initiate me as a boy's mama. After all, every mother of a sweet and loving baby boy has at least one good 'poop' story to tell, right? It's what we signed up for when we brought that precious little bundle of joy home wrapped up in a tiny blue blanket.
It was inevitable.
I was doing some things to get ready for our company. Through some string of thoughts (not at all coincidentally I'm convinced), I decided to mop the hallway close to J's room first. Upon entering the hallway, I was blown away with a very strong smell seeping through the walls and under the door of a certain little angel's room. I thought, Well, I'll just mop first and then go change him...and then the chilling thought...OH NO!!!! He's wearing only a diaper!!! I've been warned by trusted friends NEVER to put a baby boy in his bed wearing only a diaper unless you want some beautiful, interesting smelling art work on the walls. (He does need something on the bare wall above his bed, but that's not quite what I had in mind.)
If I wasn't a Believer, I would have become one in this moment. This sort of blessing could only come from the Lord Himself. I opened the door to see Jackson reaching for the tab on his diaper to rip it off and do Lord knows what.
Thank you, Jesus.
You knew I couldn't handle it.

That is hilarious. Sounds like you were spared...this time. LOL.
I will consider myself warned too...never thought of that! :) (and I do it all the time)
Is this what i have to look forward to?? Like the new blog look!
Now you just have to pray for protection from a bath time incident. Wouldn't want the Silvio house to turn into a zoo. hahaha! ;)
Too funny! I don't know what I would have done. Thanks for sharing!
