I saw and now I believe…

I admit it, I am a doubter…a cynic..I need to see something before I can truly trust and believe. I have always been that way. I don’t know why, but I have been. I would probably be like Thomas and when Christ showed up, I would ask to see the holes in his hands. I wish that wasn’t me, but it is.

But this surely had to be a myth, an old wives tale (in this case a hot, young wives tale ). It couldn’t be true. This was a legend, the things our forefathers talked about but no one has really ever seen… The Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, an honest politician. They are often talked about, but that is just it, it is all talk.

Christine had talked of this, but I scoffed. Just an exaggeration, it really wasn’t possible. I laughed at her. She hasn’t had enough sleep.

But, I am now a believer..this morning at 6 am, I had to change Colton’s diaper. Everything was routine, just a normal early morning change…and then I heard it, the gurgling and churning. Then came a small burst of air..And then it happened…the TURBO POOP…Colton shot a stream of his breast feeding yellow poop across the room. Some of it hit my hand and it felt like I was picked off by a BB gun. There was an innocent spider dangling from the ceiling, picked off and destroyed..and then it hit the Pack N’ Play and splattered…it was on the floor, the sheets and the duvet cover. It was everything she had described and more. Our little boy has the power…i won’t doubt his ability again..

All the while he just looked up and smiled that sheepish little grin…”Look what I can do Daddy”…and then he fell asleep…
