poooopy training!

Yesterday was one of my "Bad mommy" moments.

We've all had them.

The ones where you flip out a little.

Maybe its not a big thing, but you're having a bad day.. and then BAM.

You yell... a little too loud.

Yup. I'll admit it.

I have had.

Will have.

and did have one of those moments.

Let me set the scene.

I sent Aidyn down to change his pants. He told me he had an accident.

A pee accident.

No biggie.

It happens.

He is able to dress himself, and knows where to place his dirty underwear.

All things he's been taught.

After twenty minutes, he's still not upstairs.

I went downstairs to look for him, and find him naked from the waist down.

I told him to put underwear on or a pull up since it was almost time for bed.

He turned around.

POOP all over his leg and butt.

So I said.. "where did you poop?"

He just started crying.

So I said "Did you poop your pants?"

MORE crying.

"Did you poop on the floor?"

EVEN MORE CRYING.

"Where the did you poop?"

Still he wont answer, and still he cries.

First things first I snatch him up and put him in the shower to clean him up.

He is screaming bloody murder.

He doesn't like the shower, but he usually doesn't freak out either.

I knew something was up.

I shut off the water, and go downstairs.

I ran from room to room, my nose sniffing the air.

Where is the sh!t?

Finally after searching, I went into the downstairs bathroom.

There we have it.

Crap.

NOT in the potty chair.

No.. NOT in the toilet.

THE SINK!

WTF?!

Poop covering the sink.

I tried to clean it with water.

It was CLOGGED!

I gagged, as I grabbed an old tooth brush, and tried to push it down the drain.

Nothing.

I'm about to throw up.

I race upstairs, red faced.

I yell a little too loudly at Aidyn.

He's STILL crying.

I tell him to come downstairs, and he followed.

I asked him what happened.

He had an accident in his pants.

I plunged the sink, and the mess when down the drain.

I sprayed the crap out of it with bleach and cleaner.

Then I sat Aidyn down to ask what REALLY happened.

He took my hand and brought me to the dryer.

Inside he had placed his dirty underwear.

He had an accident, but wanted to clean it up himself!

He had gone to the bathroom to wash out his underwear like he'd seen me do!

Here he was just trying to be a big helper!

I sure felt like a Jerk then!

I hugged him, and put him down in bed.

Later when I went to sleep myself, I grabbed my boy and we cuddled.

I felt like the worst mom in the world, until he wrapped his arms around me and told me he loved me!

Being a parent doesn't mean your perfect.

You still screw up.

BUT being a good mom.. means that you know how to apologize when you did something wrong.

I asked Aidyn man to forgive me for raising my voice. I told him I loved him.

Aidyn knows I'm not perfect.. but he loves me anyways.

I am blessed!
