poop pick up

Saturday I took my 2 year old daughter to the water park. I never get her into her swimsuit until right before the pool becuase I don't want her to pee through it. I took off her dress and diaper and she sat down on the cement ground while I got her swim diaper ready. All of a sudden I smell poop, I look down- she had pooped all over the cement- 5 feet away from the pool! and just incase you were wondering- poop does NOT wipe up with babywipes, or wet papertowels off a grainy cement ground. I don't know if anyone noticed or not but there was still a big brown spot on the ground I couldnt get up, so I very casually put my shoes over top it and moved my chair so no one would notice- that is, until we left! - Kaitlyn A.

Disinfect

Occasionally when my son's highchair tray is extremely dirty after a meal, I let my dogs lick it to get a head start on the cleaning. I'm going to sanitize the tray anyway!

Pox

Chicken Pox has infected our home. And I was actually asked to hold a Pox Party!!! My hubs said I could charge $20/child and that actually made me consider it. - MP

Intentions

I have every good intention of starting to do 'preschool' type stuff with my tot - but I still, after weeks of getting stuff, haven't put it into effect. Maybe in the fall I'll start. - MP

Splish Splash

My husband was working late so it was me and the one year old for dinner.  My one year old wouldn't play with his bucket of toys and was more interested in the oven.  I repositioned him into the living room and he then proceeded to find the dog's water bowls.  I let him play with the water bowl while I finished dinner!  - Marcy F. 

Ouch!

While out to dinner with our 2 year old daughter a male server came to our table to ask how our meal was. Our lovely daughter then decided to punch him in the *you know what* -so hard he screamed "WHOAH girl! That was too close for comfort!" I guess we won't be going back there for a while!! - Kaitlyn A.

FT Nanny Needed

Yesterday was one of those days where if I only had one wish - it would be for a full time nanny. Let me paint the picture for you:

• A 2 year old. (i shouldn't even have to go on)
• A SICK 2 year old (same kid as above)
• An 11 month old that is starting to show his independence yet still clings to Momma
• A SICK 11 month old
• A sleep deprived Momma because said children (mostly the 11 month old) decided it would be fun to only sleep from 130am-530am - leaving Momma with only 4 hrs of sleep.
• Crying/whining/fits every hour. On the hour. 

Wouldn't you have wanted a full-time nanny too?!

*note - i DO love my children, yesterday was just very.....challenging.

crawling

this morning my 2yr old and i were watching a disney movie together on the couch while my 10 month old was destroying the tupperware cabinet. a few minutes went by and i heard banging upstairs. i assumed it was the dog - but she was fast asleep on the other couch - i ran upstairs to find my 10month old playing with the bath toys in their bathroom. that sneaky kid crawled up the stairs without me even knowing! how terrible did i feel after that?! - MP

exposed

i was at target trying on a bathing suit last night and had my 1 year old daughter in the dressing room with me. Just as I stripped off my last article of clothing leaving nothing but a thong on... my lovely daughter decided to scoot her little self under the door and run out. There was not a soul in the dressing room for me to yell help to so I -in all my glory, ran out after her. I poked my head around to try and see where she was -my whole backside was completely exposed to anyone who may have been in the Target Ladies department around 6pm last night! I spotted her in the card section (atleast 50 feet away), said a quick prayer and ran back and never put on a pair of pants so quickly- didn't bother to button them, and pulled my tank top (no bra) on and before I even had it all the way on I went sprinting through the store looking for her- shoeless... Thank god she found the musical cards and stayed in the card section where I spotted her before. Never been so embarassed, scared, and releaved in such a short amount of time. Atleast I can laugh about it now! :) - kaitlyn a. 

police

is it bad that I threaten my 2 year old to stay in bed or I'm going to call the police? hmmm....it works!- Ashley Z

While my little tot was supposed to be taking his afternoon nap, I hear him playing in his room. I go about my business as usual - because he will typically fall asleep after a little while. An hour later he's STILL playing, so I go to check in on him. His room was literally a disaster. The drawers were all pulled out - clothes EVERYWHERE - blankets thrown around the room - stuffed animals all over the place - and toys in every crevice. When I asked him what happened - he proceeded to "tell me" aka "babble". He was quite proud of himself though. Needless to say, he didn't nap and we had a LONG afternoon. Aaah boys. Love them. - MP

Cleaning

I just vacuumed my son. That's right. I vacuumed my tot. I used the attachment to get all the hair I had just cut off. I'd say it works pretty well. Maybe I'll try it on the dog next. - MP

#1

Changing pee'ed on items the last 3 days has messed with my sense of smell....i'm constantly smelling pee! gross! - MP

babysitter

I let my kids watch 2 hrs of tv today so I could clean the house before our guests arrive. - MP

Pick me up

Just packed up the kids(who both won't take a nap today) in the cold and rain so I could go to Starbucks! I need coffee! - Ashley Z.

crawler

My son has started crawling and I literally feel like he hurt himself and starts crying about every 15 minutes! - Christy S.

Rear End

I never thought the words - "stop sniffing the dogs butt" would ever come out of my mouth! - MP

Ouch!

The worst thing that could happen while feeding a baby: him sneezing!!! - Rayan B.

It's all about...

I've recently come to the realization that too many of my conversations/emails/texts with friends mention poop in one way or another! - Marcy F.

Sssshh

I have three boys ages 13, 9 and 2.  Needless to say, because my hubby is away on business, I let my 2 yr old sleep with me so I don't get a ton of sleep, lol.  I made a deal with my older kids that on the weekends they can play video games as long as they don't wake the baby up (thus waking me up)... I have never heard two boys play games so quietly, lol. And I get to sleep in a little! - Angelique N.
