Oh the fun of throw up, pee, and poop, once you are a parent, in the first years of your children's lives, these are all very exciting things that happen, and start very interesting topics of conversation. Especially poop, color, consistency, how often, etc. My oldest son is 3 1/2 and fully trained, but has his accidents here and there, especially since the new baby came. My daughter is 2, tells me she wants underwear, and recently just started to spontaneously take off her diaper, but she doesn't get the concept of when it comes out of her body its supposed to go into the potty. Then there is not yet 3 month old baby, which is pee and poop non stop, as my older son very accurately points out, "MUSTARD!"
It is Tuesday night, all three are asleep at the moment, my husband had to run some errands, and I had a fun night of each kids taking turns doing something wonderful (insert sarcastic smile here:) Before I got home my husband told me my daughter did a "Picasso," I thought he meant again they colored with crayon all over their walls, but no, he meant the art of poop. She took off her diaper, and had fun decorating the whole bathroom. It is very interesting to learn that for kids it is all fascinating, it is not in the least bit grotesque. We teach them that it is something not to touch, and we were recently recommended to let the kids play with play-dough because it is the consistency of poop, okie dokie!
Once I get home, I decide to recruit the kids in helping me pick out the toys for our road trip. The baby had a doctor check up and got some shots, and was resting by our side. I did not notice that my daughter had taken off her diaper again, there was a big puddle of water, thank god not on the bed, but on the floor next to the bed. I had no idea what it was at first, and then I touched her clothes, and realized she had no diaper. Then right after I cleaned it up, my son says his poop is in his pants, so I tell him to run to the bathroom with me, yep there was some stuff in there :) told him I had to throw his pants away, and explained how he should not wait until last minute, instead when he feels something in his tushy, to go right away to the toilet, and just sit and wait (luckily he is good at sitting and waiting." After that I was DONE, and it was past their bed time, and they luckily knew I was serious, and went to bed.
After that I guess my babies shots kicked in and he was screaming his head off for a while, oh what fun right before a two week road trip. In my deep gut I know everything is fine, but when I get taken out of my happy place by anyone, including husband or kids, that is when my "monster" comes out, and you see the not so nice me. Yes she exists, and you do not want to mess with her, she is a tough cookie who is persistent in getting her point across, luckily my other side kicks in as well and realizes that sometimes I talk too much, and should just listen, support, and breathe.
Today is the day my friends, we prepare, pick our kids up from school, and Bon Voyage,
Have a Fabulous Summer Everyone
Yes I am going to keep blogging
I find it a good release for me
and fun to hear how everyone relates
and for some people it helps them in whatever place they are in their lives
Feeling Blessed
Feeling Grateful
Wishing Everyone a Happy and Healthy Summer Season,
