Spencer has decided that it is time to use the toilet instead of diapers. Yes, I am a very excited mom. That in and of itself is funny to me. I'm amazed just how excited I am about pee and poop. Back to the real story here. For almost a week Spencer has consistently peed in the toilet. We have one, maybe two accidents a day, not too bad. He is still working on the pooping thing (why is pooping in the toilet so hard?) and has been successful twice. I am so pleased with Spencer.
This is a story I should not share, but one that will hopefully make me laugh in years to come. I'm still quite embarrassed. I was at Walgreens yesterday with my three children that are home with me during the day. Spencer had just gone potty before we left, so I figured he was good to go for the 10 minute errand. I needed some candy for decorating gingerbread houses later that night. Walgreens would be quick in and out, perfect. So, we are standing in the candy isle trying to figure out what candy I needed. Spencer comes over to me and I see that he has left a quite enormous puddle of . . . pee in the isle. His pants were a synthetic material so they did not absorb anything, thus the very large puddle. I looked at it for a moment trying to figure out a solution to the problem. At that very moment a very sophisticated looking sort of woman in her early forties came down the isle with a cart and pushed her cart right through the puddle, along with her beautiful sandles/flip flops. Yes, she stepped right in the puddle of pee and kept walking as the pee splashed up the back of her ankles. I was horrified. I didn't know what to do. I wasn't about to tell her what she had just splashed on herself, I didn't want to get punched. So, I did nothing. I grabbed my three kids and we walked out of the store leaving everything behind, including the pee. I really didn't know what to do so I did nothing.
And if you are that woman reading this blog, I truly am sorry. All I can say is . . . well, we are in the middle of potty-training and accidents happen. Sorry!

That's hilarious, yet horrifying for you I'm sure! Been there, Halli did it at a pay-less. Not fun! Congrats on getting out of diapers though, that's a big milestone!
How funny! I'm not sure what I would have done either. I can't blame you for leaving.
My mom gave my brother the nickname "puddles" for that same reason. Why is it that boys are so much harder to potty train?
Oh Steph! So embarrassing, yet funny! I can relate - we were looking at places to rent and Charley, who had never had and "outside" accident peed all over the kitchen floor as the owner is standing there with other possible renters. We didn't get the place . . .
That is a good mery-moment of mothering!!! Hilarious! I think I would have done the same thing, too.
that is hilarious. I probably would have died right there, so good thinking on your feet!! That is definitely a story for the record book - something to keep you laughing well into your 90's!!
