When you have a two year old and a newborn in the house, you no longer get any time to yourself – for ANYTHING. Since Speedy occasionally likes to “visit” his baby sister, we have to keep a close eye on where he is at all times.
This morning, Princess was sleeping and I had to go to the bathroom. Okay, I had to poop. So Speedy had to come with me. I locked the poor kid in the bathroom with me and he wanted to brush his teeth. So I figure this is a good distraction…..until he decided it was MY turn to brush his teeth. Brushing someone else’s teeth while you are pooping is not my idea of a good time. I tried distracting him and found the only thing that would work was singing, “The wheels on the bus go round and round…” all the while I’m pooping.
Life is never gonna be the same again, is it?

LOL!!! Goodbye sanity, hello love and chaos and insanity!
Comment by WyldJoker February 20, 2006 @ 9:33 amBWAHAHAHAAH!!! You almost made ME pee my pants.
I guess it’s better than getting pooped and peed ON! We’ve both had our share of that now, I guess. It’s a good sign you’re laughing about it, and not crying. Did you ever know poop could be so funny?
Comment by Tamara February 20, 2006 @ 9:52 amWelcome to motherhood! You have now been initiated. You will not be going to the bathroom unaccompanied for several more years.
Thanks for the laugh.
Comment by Sunshine February 20, 2006 @ 10:00 amPoor kid. Aren’t toxic fumes bad for small children!
This reminds me of having to breast feed with the runs. It’s pretty misreable sitting on the pot and breast feeding at the same time.
Motherhood certainly changes your life. Enjoy it!

Comment by Gawdessness February 20, 2006 @ 11:06 amOMG this is just the most accurate picture of parenting small children.
No it won’t be the same.
So glad you are in the middle of it.
Sitting on the pot nursing while you have the runs is one thing. Sitting on the pot nursing while the person in the stall next to you has the runs takes motherhood to a whole new level! That is an awful experience. You don’t know whether to laugh, turn around an puke while nursing or tell them to keep it down so they don’t wake the baby! After that, I didn’t care who saw me nursing, I wasn’t doing it in the bathroom anymore!
Comment by shawnthegreat February 20, 2006 @ 11:09 amIt will be MANY MANY years before you find you can go to the bathroom by yourself! Welcome to the ranks of no modesty for mom!

Comment by David February 20, 2006 @ 2:07 pmSoon you will be able to go to the bathroom while brushing 2 sets of teeth and singing all at the same time–probably doing something else, too–moms are great at multi-tasking–it’s their only means of survival.

[...] A little of my modesty left me when SPeedy first came to us and I could not allow him to roam freely while I…um…."took care of business" in the bathroom. You might remember some of those first stories… Anyway, today I learned about a new kind of lost modesty. [...]
