Our evening so far.

Bathtime.

1. He pees on the floor while waiting for the bath...this happens a couple times a month.

2. OMG. He farts, I look over, HE POOPED on the floor. I just about died.

Jammie time.

1. While I'm putting his jammies on, he pulls down my top and latches onto my breast. 

Honestly.

This single mom thing is tough. 

Re: Our evening so far.

  • Yeah, those are the times when you need a time out and you can't get one. I'll be in your shoes next week. Hang in there Momma!

    DD is at the stage where she tries to fart b/c she wants the reaction. That and burping. I thought I had a girl?

  • Abe vs. Mama, and Abe's winning!

    Last week Marcus was in the tub and said "I tooted!"...I looked behind him and it was a big poop.  He looked behind himself and said "Oh no, there's a snake in the tub, a snake in the tub!" and freaked out.   Chris was at school, and it was quite the challenge to wrangle the freaked baby and the snake in the tub at the same time.

    OMG this is hysterical! 

    When does Seth get back, Brianne?

  • Oh my, on all accounts! So far, when DH's been traveling, I haven't had too many crazy nights yet... I know I'm in for it when she is more mobile!

    Hahaha you made my night, after a long and exhausting day.  Thanks for the laugh!!  Brianne I hope the next few days fly by for you!  It seems like he's been gone longer than 5 days even to me and I'm not in your position.  Hoping Abe is extra good tomorrow!

  • Riley pooped in the tub for the first time 2 nights ago, all I could do was laugh. DH said he thought it was just gas, but when she started yelling "daddy" he looked down and she was throwing it out of the tub at him. The thought of her throwing poop still makes me giggle.

  • The boys are so controlled about pooping (and have been since they were infants... they rarely poop outside of the house... only when we are out for long periods of time) that they have never pooped in the tub (knock on wood)... they only do it in diapers/pullups.... that is something that we are working hard on to get them to go in the potty!

    I'm sure it was stressful at the time, but I'm dying laughing.

  • Both stories just gave me a solid belly laugh, which I desperately needed, thanks girls!

    I feel your pain on solo Mama-ing, as I said on FB, Kyle's been out of town for the past four days for a conference in San Diego, so Will and I have been on our own. Overall, it went really well but it has been tough since we're still so new here and I really don't have a support group, or anyone I can have come keep an eye on him for an hour or two so I can get stuff done. Thank goodness Daddy's home tonight!

    This just made me crack up at my desk!

  • Yes, probably the hardest part was trying not to die of laughter while scooping him and the snake out.  He's a little traumatized though, and keeps getting afraid he'll poop a snake again and is only taking short baths.
