I Spoke Too Soon!



Brace yourself - more toddler-mom talk coming! So the boys and I were talking the other day about how much of a mess they each made when they were babies. The boys wanted to hear who had been a tidy eater (A) and who had always made a mess (CoCo). They wanted to hear who got their clothes the dirtiest (CoCo and Neil-Te tied!) and who used the toilet first (CoCo - 20 months!) Well, with boys, the discussion naturally led to bodily functions- poop. The boys wanted to hear in detail about the times that they had painted their cribs with poop! Those painting memories are not memories that I treasure - how in the world do toddlers figure out how to get out of their clothes, unsnap onesies, AND take off a diaper? Anyway, it was with great relief that I mentioned that KiKi had never done that and that he probably wouldn't because he was potty-trained now. I thought I was safe because KiKi was napping, but alas... Yesterday he took off his napping diaper and pooped on the floor before he made it to the bathroom. Today, he took off a loaded diaper in his hurry to get dressed for church. He trotted into my room with a new skin color in his diaper-region and was concerned because he was messy! Yes... another thing to add to an already crazy Sunday morning! Here he is, shining clean from his pre-church bath, and probably happy that he has joined the decorating club!

Of course, it HAD to happen! He had a family tradition to carry on! :-)

We heard from Jake & Hilda a few weeks ago that Emma had done the same thing, but used herself as the canvas, instead of walls or her crib. Hilda was already at work because it was first thing in the morning, so Jake had a big mess to clean up!
