It’s Not Always What You Think It Is

Saturday morning, we were enjoying some down time as a family.  Since Langston’s soccer game was cancelled {thank goodness!} we were able to spend some time hanging out.

The boys were running around the house and I noticed Langston’s diaper needed to be changed.  I took it off of him and thought, “Right after I do ______, I’ll go grab a diaper and put it on him.”

Let me stop there and give a little side note about our pottytraining progress: We have none.

No, seriously, Langston has no desire to use the potty.  None.

He can tell me when he needs a diaper on, but after trying to make him use the potty one night, I decided we both needed to come back to it.  It wasn’t pretty.

It’s probably my fault more than his.  I just don’t have the energy to make it my #1 priority right now.  I’m hoping to very very soon, though.  I’m tired of changing THREE little people diapers all day long.

Back to my story.

Brantley started crying letting me know she was ready to eat.  So what does any mom do when they hear their hungry baby cry?  Feed ‘em!  And that’s exactly what I did.

A few minutes later, Langston came out of the hallway saying, “Yuck! Ew!”

I remembered he wasn’t wearing a diaper and I panicked.

In our hallway, we have a set of three big cabinets the boys love to crawl in and out of to play.

Lately, I’ve had blankets in there, which has kept them from being able to crawl around in there.

However, when I’m nursing the baby and they are out of my sight, I’ve found they are usually doing something naughty.

So, when I jumped up remembering Langston didn’t have a diaper on, I was scared to death that he pooped somewhere.

As I turned the corner heading down the hallway, Riverson was coming toward me with a bag of wipes saying “Yucky! Yucky, Mommy!” {Oh great.}

Blankets were in a big pile on the floor.

I just knew I was going to dig through those blankets and find a nice surprise.

“Langston, did you poo poo?”

“Um, nope.” {His usual response even when he DID.}

“Langston, where is the poo poo?”

“Um, it’s over there in the door?”

“You pooped on the door?”

“Um, nope.”

By this point, I’m furious.  I’m not sure if I’m more mad at myself for letting him go without a diaper while I wasn’t watching him, or mad at him for pooping while playing in the cabinets and in all of these blankets.

I walked out of the hallway and in to the kitchen to get Jeff so he could tend to Brantley.

When I walked back in to the hallway, the smell was gone.

Wait, what?!?

As I walked in to the living room, the smell was back with a vengeance and Langston was playing in his room.

Riverson, however, was playing very quietly in the corner of the living room…..

……wearing a very dirty diaper.

I let Langston have whatever he wanted for the rest of the day.
