So clearly I have issues with keeping up with blog posts so instead of trying to do a recap of the past year and a half which is overwhelming to me, I will just reiterate what happened today.
First off, clearly Olivia still hasn't perfected the whole potty training thing. Today right before her nap she went to the bathroom on the toilet successfully (number one and two). Yay! So I thought to myself, "well, I'm not going to put a pull-up on her during her nap because she just went to the bathroom." Silly me. During her nap, she had pooped all over her clothes, bed, carpets, and walls. Then she tried to "help" mommy by cleaning it up by herself. She got a towel and had smeared it all in really well. Then she decided to come get me leaving a nice little trail of poo in the hallway leading to my bedroom. After having a minor coronary attack, I started the clean up and put Olivia in the kitchen and turned on Dora in hopes that it would distract her for a while. Silly me. After the hour long poo clean-up, I came down into the kitchen to check on her. Well, to my ahem, utter delight, there was Olivia with a bottle of lotion, the contents of which were all over her clothes, all over the counters and all over her baby sisters stuffed animals. Awesome. So on goes the clean up of the lotion. At least it smelled better than the first mess. While I cleaned up that mess, I decided to move Olivia into the living room where there were toys she could play with and distract herself with. Or so I thought. Silly me. After I finally got the mess of the lotion cleaned up, I went into the living room where I found her and Sophie (who had woken up from her 20 minute catnap sometime during the messes) covered in peanut butter head to toe. Not to mention the carpets and toys. Awesome. Where she found the peanut butter, that still has yet to be determined.
Soooooo... I guess it's just one of those days where I think, "at least I kept them alive". I either had to laugh or cry after all this so I chose the former. I think it was a good choice.
Where are the pictures you ask? I wish I would have thought of taking some during all this but my mind was elsewhere. Sorry.
LOL I seriously KNOW days like that, laughter is for sure the best alternative to crying. I took pictures to help me gather my thoughts and think of a solution besides the death of the eldest child :) I promise, those types of messes pass quickly, I look back at the pictures and have a good laugh though!
ReplyDeleteYikes I'm glad you didn't post poopy pics. You're good to laugh after that escapade. Since Gavin hasn't totally got the poop down, I let him run around naked jumping on and off the toilet until he goes. It was working well until yesterday he walked up to me and handed me his poop. I freaked out since I didn't realize what it was until he handed it to me.
