6.52 am.
I was jolted from my sleep by a horrid stench so bad I was gasping for breath. For a moment there, I thought a rat died in one of the corners of the room ten times over.
I looked at Nat who was next to me. He was sound asleep. I looked at Ben – sound asleep. Becks was deep in sleep too. I felt all three foreheads – no temperature. Nobody’s sick. Nobody’s barfed.
Then I started to crawl on all fours sniffing them like a dog. And found the source of the sour, stinky stench.
Two bums.
Nat and Becks HAD POOPED IN THEIR SLEEP.
Had to make a split second decision to wake them up and clear the air, and be physically and mentally prepared for two cranky kids throughout the day, or let them sleep while we all suffocate in this rotting odour of digested broccoli, pineapple rice, prawns, apples, oranges and milk. It’s a disgusting thought to continue letting them sleep with poop stuck to their backsides, but at least I would have well-rested kids.
I chose the former, and let’s just say it has been a drama-filled day since 7 am when the helper and I woke the kids up to wash their bums.

Poor u. Dat wat mommy has to put up with. Hope all these end soon…thank God tjey hv diaper on. If not will b worse nightmare….
Karina, you don’t know HOW GLAD I am for diapers.
Both were in the same toilet scene in their dream, i suppose.
Haha! I think they must be in a toilet where it’s fully occupied! 🙂
hahaha, I have to battle the tough decision too! amazingly, my twins poop at the same time!
OMG! That’s like sooo cute, but that’s also because I am not their mummy having to always clean two up at one time!
Oh my goodness! I can’t believe both pooped in their sleep, and more amazingly, that you were woken up by the stench. Either having three kids gives you spidey senses, or it was really THAT smelly. I hope it’s the former!
It’s both, Adeline. But having said that, it’s really THAT smelly. Haha.
