Enjoy Our Crazy
Since the last few weeks have been on the heavier emotional side, let’s take a pause and laugh a bit together. This week I won’t be sharing about just a moment but moments that are hilarious and brought about by our feral toddler. Moments that I didn’t think I would be sharing this early into the toddler game. I hope this brings you enough laughter to feel refreshed but not enough that you need to change your britches.
- The Royal Throne:
In the last few weeks some of the craziest and funniest moments have happened in or on our way to the bathroom. Just yesterday I was trying to relieve myself and as most mommas will understand, Allie was with me. During this special time together she decided to use my underwear as a trampoline since I wasn’t picking her up quick enough. All I could do was laugh at my 15 month year old, bouncing up and down on my almost granny pannies.
A few days prior, my wonderful hubby was trying to give me a moment to use the bathroom on my own and have just a little pause from the pre-dinner time festivities but our baby girl had other plans. My hubby had brought out all the coloring supplies hoping to entertain her just long enough for me to do my business, when Allie grabs the container of crayons and a piece of construction paper and walks right down to the bathroom. And since I apparently didn’t make sure the door was fully closed and caught the lock, because she pushed it open with ease. Handed me the crayons and then sat down right in front of my feet to continue coloring her picture.
- Bath Shenanigans
Every night for the most part my hubby is the one to give Allie her bath, while I am cleaning up dinner and putting away the leftovers. Now that Allie has really entered her era of bubble baths and just trying to stay in the tub as long as possible, I am usually long done with my stuff before she is out of the bath. So maybe a week ago… I hear her calling out for me from the bathtub. And as I am coming down the hall I see that the rims of her eyes are getting just a little red, which normally is our cue that she has to poo or is currently pooping. With her recent fascination with the toilet and wanting to try going potty (nothing successful yet), I asked her if she would like to sit on the potty and try to poo. Allie of course says yes, any excuse to sit on the potty. As I am try to pick her up from the tub and place her on the toilet, I hear my hubby start laughing as I am trying to get Allie’s foot out from within the toilet and place her on the potty. I assume that my hubby is laughing at me and the cluster that is trying to put a wet and sudsy baby on the toilet but no. He is laughing at the turd that has launched out of her butt, mid air, on her way to the toilet. Through his laughs he is telling me to look down at the side of the tub to the log of a turd that is now splattered on the base. All I could do was laugh. Here is Allie sitting on the potty with her dada cracking up by the door and her momma, holding her and laughing so hard that she is wheezing. Honestly, I was grateful the poop was on the outside of the tub and not within it.
Okay last funny short story for this week. I want to say about 2-3 weeks ago we had another incident right around bath time. I had just started cleaning and clearing up dinner, when I heard my hubby say, “Oh no. Stop! No, don’t step in it! Babe, I need help! How is there poop everywhere?!”
Now I want to share that right before this happened I told my hubby that Allie had only done one poo so far for the day and we both know she is a two if not three poops a day, kind of a kid. So I was giving him this heads up as a warning and to probably check her diaper before putting her in the tub. However, my hubby heard this and figured Allie would just poo after her bath. He didn’t check her diaper to see if she had pooped before taking it off, in the hallway, on the way to the bathtub. So when the dirty diaper hit the floor and he saw the poo and out came the, “Oh no.” Followed by our beautiful baby girl putting her foot right into the poo and leaving a nice footprint within the hallway. Which led to my hubby picking her up, hand under the butt style, because in all the craziness his brain went into autopilot. So now we have poop on the floor, in my hubby’s hand and soon to be on the diaper changer. Somehow all of this happened within a matter of 15-30 seconds because as I came running down the hall, all I see was the evidence of what I had heard seconds before. I of course help my hubby clean up Allie, though I am cracking up. Once we got her cleaned up, he got her into the bath and I sanitized everything else.
I hope these made you laugh at the craziness that goes on within our home on a daily bases, multiple times a day. May our crazy make you feel less alone in yours and laugh because our crazy isn’t yours.
