Living with our decisions as parents

Just a quick post today to hopefully make you laugh.

This morning, as my husband was on his way out the door to work he says “I think Sunny has a diaper…!” (thats man talk for you need to change him!!)  So I took Sunny upstairs and got him all cleaned up, but before I could get a new diaper on him, he stood up and ran across his room.  Well that darn naked body was so cute, I thought “He just went, so I should be ok for a few minutes, right?”…

So I hopped into the shower.  After a few minutes passed, I thought it was awfully quiet…no screaming, yelling, or pulling the shower curtain open – was something wrong??  So I yelled out to Funny, asking him to please put down his leapster for a minute and check his brothers room, to make sure he was ok.

Funny comes into the bathroom and says “Yeah he’s ok, he just pooped and he’s playing with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”  Ahhhhhh.  Here I am in the shower, dripping wet and shampoo in hair, thinking “now what?!”  So I holler out to Sunny who comes walking into the bathroom with poop covering his foot, leg,  hands and bum (nothing on the face, thanks goodness!).  Funny looks at me and says “Can I finish my game now?” “Yeah sure thanks buddy!”

I drag the poopy kid into the shower with me and clean him up. When I see that the bedroom situation is not that bad and can be handled without too much trouble, I sigh relief and can finally laugh at myself for creating the opportunity for a situation like this!  As parents we make decisions all the time and we have to feel good about them or at least feel like we can manage them because before we know it, they will get tougher.

Oh and  thank goodness it was me dealing with this situation, because my husband is afraid of poop – no seriously….he is! HAHAHA.  Have a good one.
