About Me

Oslo, Norway
Welcome to my blog! I am a wife and a Mommy of three. We have 2 daughters, Reagan and Hayden and a son, Grasyon. Here I write about our life happenings and try to capture memories the best I can. I hope this helps keep those close to us, in Texas, Iowa, Illinois, and beyond, a little more up to date while we're away. Enjoy!

Shit Happens

Let me just start off by saying I am not in any way shape or form looking forward to potty training. I don't think there is going much worse than going through that. I would like to think Reagan would be one of those miracle kids who trains in no time, but realistically I am not getting my hopes up.

Today Reagan took off her diaper herself and was running around the house for a little bit without it on. I decided, "hey why don't I let her wear her panties for a little bit." I knew that she had just gone potty so it would be a little while before she went again. So I put them on her and she was off busy playing with something in the living room. No more than 10 minutes go by and I hear "the noise." Like a deep breathing, grunting sound. I thought, "no way is it what I think." I look over the counter from the kitchen and sure enough, she was going #2.

I couldn't scream, "Reagan noooooooooo!" She already has issues with going #2, so I didn't want to make things any worse. I just had to wait, sit there and watch her poop in her panties. And let me tell you, it was the grossest thing I think I have had to do so far as a Mom. Of course, you can't just pull tabs off panties to get them off, you have to slide them off. Which causes a complete mess. It ended up being on Reagan's leg, the changing table and on her mirror above the changing table. (I guess somehow it transfered from her leg to the mirror)

Finally I get it all cleaned up, get a diaper on Reagan go over to the mirror and notice there was poop on my neck!! Yuck!!

What a terrible idea that lead to a complete mess. I do not, do NOT want to potty train! Not at all!

Yuck! I feel for you. I do not look forward to that one bit. Glad you'll be going through it first to give me all of the tricks! hehe

Ah potty training, I wish I had some fool proof - no accident - plan to bestow upon you, but every child is different when it comes to potty training so all I can say is good luck, and get some lysol! Oh! Except that they actually make "potty training panties" they aren't near as cute but they have some padding and fit around their legs well which helps with clean up...thats all I got :)

But once it is done...ITS DONE! And like Dustin told me when we were p.t. D...I've never met a normal 10 year old who still wears diapers so at some point they all "get it!"

Somehow I missed this post!! I felt the same way. Still do kind of dread it with Grace. The good news is..."this too shall pass.' haha.

If Parker ever pooped in her panties.....they went straight to the TRASH!!! ;)
