Our hope was to have Bella potty trained before Lily arrived...however she had other plans. She is extremely strong willed and just wasn't ready. We did not want to push her, especially with the big changes that a new baby were about to bring. That being said, I have had two outings with the little girls and both have ended in a mess of poop! Now, if you hate poop talk, save yourself the time (mom) and stop reading this blog post now. I have to write about it because I know someday I will forget these stories and I love preserving them.
First outing to Target ...complete disaster. Bella runs out of Target into the mall with me chasing behind her pushing the shopping cart with Lily's carseat in it. I look like a crazy woman calling and running after my two year old who is laughing hysterically and running so fast ahead of me. She runs out the doors and I try to follow but the cart wheels lock on me. I am yelling at her to please stop....begging. Luckily Maddie runs after her and gets her. We get our shopping done and take Bella into the play area. Lily needs to eat so I am nursing her, Bella makes another break for it out of the play area. UGH! I can barely run I am still sore from giving birth at this point. When we decide to leave I get a FULL BLOWN temper tantrum from Bella. Thank goodness Maddie was there.... Here I go carrying my screaming and kicking two year old out to the car with Maddie carrying Target bags and Lily's carseat. By the time we got home both girls diapers have leaked and there is a mess of poop everywhere. It was bad folks, clothes had to be changed bad....
Second outing (I am alone)...down to district office to add Lily to my insurance.
We were on our way to Lily's two week check up...I am nervous to take them both anywhere. I have prepped Bella for two days.... Get there and I leave my diaper bag in the car because it's just too much to carry both girls and I figure I will be in and out... By the time we get inside Lily is really crying which surprises me. I wonder if she is hungry. I try to fill out my paperwork quickly and they offer to let me nurse the baby in an empty room because she is crying so much. I go into the room start nursing and check her diaper. Poop explosion everywhere!! So I have to drag both girls back out to the car to get the diaper bag and back in again. I go to change Lily and realize that everything in the diaper bag is wet because Bella's juice has spilled. I panic! So I whip off the wet onesie and just keep Lily in her fleece jammies which aren't too wet. I finally get everyone back out to the car and go to put Bella back in her carseat and she yells out, "I have poop mama!" UGH! More poop! Get her changed in the back of suburban and finally off to doctor appointment. That was the longest trip ever. Thank goodness they were both angels at the doctor appointment.
