In the midst of a fabulous time
With guests and laughter,
I went to change the baby’s diaper.
As my back was turned to get a new nappy,
I heard a soft, strange noise,
And turned back to find baby and bed covered in vomit.
The baby had not eaten much:
Apparently, a piece of pineapple, a jelly bean, and kefir water.
But he was drenched and furious. And loud.
This was a new conundrum for me.
How to allow the guests to continue in peace
While also cleaning, comforting, and quieting Caleb?
As carefully as possible.
After bathing, I sat in quiet and visited with a friend,
While the baby ate and fell asleep.
