Warning, this might be a bit graphic - be warned.
Setting: Last hour of Nursery, leaving the "story room" and moving across the hall to the toy Nursery.
time: 3:45 pm
Children: 13 ( 4 visitors)
Adults: 3 nursery leaders, Clyde (who I grabbed as another helper), and Brother Tanner who just arrived very late with his shy son.
What: we had just gotten all (most?) of the children to hang on to the yellow rope, which helps us get the group from one room to the other.
Who: One new Nursery leader, picks up her 17 month old daughter
slight exclamation --'Oh no, she's leaking everywhere!"
I looked at the daughter in her mothers arms and see POOP coming out around her diaper area.
and THEN I looked down and see a HUGE messy poop drop right in the middle of the doorway!!
OH NO!
Most of the children had passed into the toy room at that moment - TENDER MERCY-
Brother Tanner following us in saw it and said, "I'll go get something to clean it up"
I tossed a handful of napkins on it and was able to close the door! - TENDER MERCY-
Time: 3:50 pm, church lets out in 10 minutes.
We are now down to myself and one other nursery helper, who came the last hour as back up. She quickly found the clorox wipes and met Brother Tanner in the hall and they cleaned it all up with water and clorox wipes.
And they found a spot in the 'story room' and more down the hall! Got it cleaned up right before the meetings ended and people spilled out into the hall- TENDER MERCY-
I was in the room alone with about 10 children while the cleaning up proceeded, outside our door!
I brought out the crackers again, read a book to anyone who would listen and gave a big sigh of relief when the last child was picked up.
No one stepped in it - miracle!
cleaned up before anyone noticed - miracle!
It could have been so much worse!!
Never in my life have I had such an experience...
Sorry for the graphic post. I warned you.
