There are many things in this world that are completely unacceptable. Then there are things that are vastly unacceptable, except for in certain and extreme situations. Being a dad makes certain things just fade away, like the proactive manuvers that come instictualy to avoid being pooped or peed on. It is crazy how quickly things like that no longer matter when it is caring for your children. The other day as I was changing B I noticed that he was about to finish what he had started and with out thinking I placed my hand in a defensive position that would protect his face at the expense of my hand. It is a really wierd feeling to know that things like that no longer faze you. The worst is when it becomes funny. As I was showering Laura handed me B and no sooner did the water hit his skin that his pee hit the wall. The only thing I could think is that where there is one there is probably another. The other came and all I could do was laugh. Cleaning up that stuff and staying awake with the screaming took a new meaning when I was talking to my dad. He explained how it was after these life changing sacrifices we (the children) have the audacity to tell them they dont know anything about our lives. Its almost comical, but hey, that is just another step on this increasingly rewarding and interesting journey.
