Ewwww

Ok, so I know I said I wouldn't update you each day about how potty training is going but I have to tell you this story. So Emma didn't go on the potty at all today. This morning her diaper was wet, and she wore panties all morning, then we went to a movie this afternoon and I put Emma in a diaper. Well, she went down for a nap after we came home and I also had her in a diaper. When she got up I put her back in panties thinking maybe I could get her to go once before we left to see fireworks. Her diaper had been pretty wet when she woke up so I asked her if she needed to use the potty and she said no. So off she went to play in the play room. Kevin and I were in the living room. After a few minutes Emma comes running into the living room with something in her hand and she is crying and saying "poopie". Yeah, ewwww, exactly what you are thinking. She has a huge piece of poop in her hand (I'm laughing just typing it!) and she is trying to hand it to me. And of course she is freaking out! So I take her to the bathroom and have her drop it into the toilet, I strip her down and her panties are filled with poop, she has it all over her hands and legs and she is crying. It was quite a scene. Anyways we got her all bathed and clean. We had to rinse out the tub and then refill it with clean water to give her a bath! It was hilarious. For about 15 seconds it wasn't funny, but after that I couldn't stop laughing. Strange, I never in my wildest dreams would have thought that if my daughter tried to hand me poop would I think it was funny! Crazy what parenthood does to you. Being a mother is great!
