Toward the end of Monsters, Inc., Sullivan gives a demonstration scare to a class of trainees while Boo is off in the background watching. Sully gives a ROAR directed at the prop, and Boo just wails.

I had that moment today.

I have several photos of Maya and Clay together — it’s really easy to get one since he discovered that she’s the creator of all that good pukey baby-manna. But, until today, I didn’t have a photo with both Maya and Katie. As I made an angel food cake, Maya was hanging out in her bouncer seat and Katie was waiting for me to hopefully drop some goody on the floor. To get a pose with all three “kids” (Katie, Clay, Maya), I held a couple pieces of kibble to attract the pups’ attention. (Can you see where this is going?) It worked well for a while, and I even got a few photos — none great, but at least all were present and accounted for.

All present and accounted for. L to R: Maya, Clay, Katie

At some point, I got the kibble in just the wrong place, and Clay leaned in…over Maya. Katie leaned in and ROARED at him. Poor Maya screamed. For a little girl who’s starting to look a little more olive-complectioned like me, she turned FUSCIA. *sigh* I cried. Then I nursed her for a bit, and she calmed down.

It seems that Katie must have scared the sh*t out of Maya. The cake had just a few minutes left, so I figured I could do a quick diaper duty.

The poop came out the front of the diaper. It came out the top of the back. It was on her shirt, her pants, her legs, her belly…everywhere. After a valiant effort to clean her with wipes, I realized that wipes weren’t going to cut it. She needed a bath. I don’t have a baby tub yet, so that means WE get a bath. Shortly after getting in the tub, I remembered the cake. Let’s just say it’s a smidge dry. At least its edible. Oh well, I needed a shower anyway.

Maya just woke from a nap, so I’d better scoot…

Ah…better. Napped and fed. (note milk coming out of the mouth)
