Over all of the years, in all of the times I've changed little boys' diapers, this was my first time to be squirted. According to his mom, who I spoke with later about the event, it wasn't even a normal time to be at risk for this. Hmm.
I was changing his diaper, probably moving a little too slowly as I cleaned his backside, and the next thing I knew something was spraying upward. Ha! Even though I was unfamiliar with this phenomena personally, I reacted quickly knowing instantly what was happening. :) I managed to block, but the moment passed quickly. For a second, I wondered what all of the hype was about...just a little spritz. I proceeded to finish wiping and he fired up again!
Apparently he was trying not to go on me, but I tested his limits and he couldn't hold back any longer. In my attempt to react, I lowered his legs and redirected the stream unaware. As I looked down, I saw I was in the cross hairs and dodged just in time to avoid a direct hit to the face. Down my left side, on the floor and though I can't remember how, off to my right too. A quick move of a wipe deflected the rest to soak the changing pad. What range and force. The kind of thing that would impress any man :)
In the end, I came out relatively unscathed. The next day, however, I learned from his mom that in the few hours after the incident he managed to hit both his mom and his dad by surprise attack.
Apparently he has a new pass time.
I fear the initiation has only begun.
