SCENE: Gynocologist’s waiting room…..Kwabi, who hadn’t had a decent poop in a couple days due to lack of eating (fever-related), begins to relieve himself in his diaper, and did NOT want me to check or to change him (or even LOOK at him while he was pooping).
SCENE #2: Me, naked in a bed sheet, waiting for the dr. to come in.
KWABI: “Look, Mommy.” (He pulls his finger out of his diaper and guess what–POOP!
ME: “Eww…come over here, let me wash your hand in this sink.”
I turned him around, and shit was bubbling out of his diaper….all over the waistband of his pants….up his back, on his neck, on his SHIRT…..YIKES!
SCENE: Me, laughing my ass off, WITHOUT a change of clothes……all the while, wrapped in a bedsheet, waiting for the dr. to open the door any minute to the stench of shit. I didn’t know whether to see if I could do a quick-clean and wait until after the appointment, or to put my clothes on and retrieve his diaper bag from the car. Oh….but with all the poop…the choice was clear.
Shirtless, Kwabi walked with me to the car outside, while singing some tune I didn’t recognize, in his own happy world, unphased with the shit staining the back of his pants. FUNNY!
We got back inside the office restroom (a single toilet restroom), where I stripped him down carefully, contemplating how in the world I would clean THIS up…..I lifted him, naked, into the single basin sink, with a death grip on him so he wouldn’t slip….he even told me, “Don’t let me fall” in the middle of singing some tune with the lyrics “all aboard.” In between wipes (which seemed never-ending), I could barely contain my laughter at the absurdity of the situation. HA! I sooooo wish I had my camera right then!!!
We made our way in to see the dr. What a way for Kwabi to meet the dr. who delivered him! 🙂 He sat there on the chair, with his crooked diaper and big shoes, and continued happily singing. Afterwards, the dr. gave him a paper vest to wear out, and a sheet to cover up. He looked hilarious!
And WHY didn’t we have extra clothes, you ask??
Well, we did–those were the ones he messed up! When we left the house today, Kwabi was wearing a pair of Thomas & Friends “big boy” undies, since he insisted (i.e. no diaper!!!!). It was our first attempt at going diaperless in public. I knew he would have an accident, so I took extra clothes, but I had NOT planned on him having such a shit-splotion the way he did. Why take *2* pairs of pants?? Um…now I see the reason….
Anyhow, on a positive note, Kwabi peed in the potty on his own TWICE today! Yep, just walked over and sat down and peed! He was so proud of himself 🙂 The first time he used the potty today, I noticed the signs and got him there beforehand. After that, he did it on his own.
I’m just thankful that he did NOT poop his pants while in his Thomas undies! OMG, could you imagine?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Ahhhh……being a mom is the greatest! 🙂
