I thought I'd write this because it was pretty funny looking back after what had happened... (sorry no pictures but try to visualize it if you like)
**WARNING** For those who have weak stomach... don't read this...
Okay... I KNOW every moms always have a hilarious poo story to share and if you think that it will never happened to you... well YOU'RE WRONG! This is my 2nd WORST poo explosion experience in PUBLIC... yes, one with Ella and one with Coleman... when will it ever stop?
First off... lets rewind WAAAAY back when Ella was a little wee one... maybe just barely turned 2. I was at Target. Ella, of course, sat in the seat of the shopping cart... as I was browsing around at the END of the store came to find out that Ella was making those "ew" face and I observed to see what was the matter was... to my horror... Ella had the WORST runny poo that literally flooded her seat and is dripping all over the floor. I panicked got the wipes out and cleaned her up and the cart as best I could... I hurried to the front and asked politely for a target bag so that I can dispose her soiled clothes. Well, this clueless young chap wanted to know why... I lost my patience with him and said, "Well, my daughter just crapped all over her pants and I need it to put her soiled clothes in it!!" I swear... I want to slap that kid. It was pretty bad. Luckily, I had an extra pair of clothes for her to change into.
Okay... now lets flash forward to our present time... Coleman who is now 2 years old. We are at Macey's grocery store. Right in the middle of shopping getting the food we need... Ella, who was in the cart basket and Coleman sat in the seat. Ella was doing the "potty dance" so I asked her if she needed to go now or will she be able to hold it... she had to go. So, on the way to the bathroom... I took Ella out and told her that I would wait for her outside of the bathroom so that I don't have to leave the groceries behind and taking Coleman out. While waiting for Ella, Coleman said something about "Go Potty" thinking he was asking about Ella... so I said "Yah Ella's in potty" Finally, Ella was done and I went on to finish my shopping... as I just barely got to the aisle I needed to go... Coleman pointed his finger that has "stuff" on it and I looked closely trying to figure out what the heck it was and where it came from... then I looked at Coleman tilting to the side with his leg making his "ew" face... I closed my eyes and pleaded that this is NOT happening... LOVELY! It did.. Coleman has RUNNY poo all the way down his leg. As I held his poo covered finger hoping that he had not smeared on anything... I opened up my bag and to my HORROR that there was NO WIPES!!!! AHHHH!!! I panicked. I panicked till I pulled myself together holding Coleman's poo covered finger and pushed the shopping cart and got to the baby aisle (thank goodness it was only 2 aisle down but still it seems like a long way to get there!) I grabbed the wipes and wiped Coleman's finger off and hurried back to the bathroom... I parked the cart outside of the hallway (yes they have a HALLWAY to get to the bathroom) and I knew I shouldn't carry Coleman because I'd get poo all over... well, I set Coleman down and as he walked to the bathroom... MORE poo clumps kept falling out of his shorts making a TRAIL to the bathroom... AHHH HORROR!!! As I got to the bathroom... the stall with the changing table in there was OCCUPIED!!! AHHHH! Oh heavens... Im sure my blood pressure went up to the roof with all the stress and literally freaked out. Thankfully I was able to hold it in without bawling or anything like any mother would do. So I hurried cleaned Coleman up and as I was walking out of the bathroom... I swear, a CROWD of people had to go to the bathroom and they were dodging away the poo trail that Coleman left behind... I put the kids back in the cart (of course I cleaned of the seat) and hurried wipe up the "trail" without anyone seeing. Ahhh. It was mortifying and I ended my shopping right then. (Of course I paid for the wipes.)
Yes... this is going to be one of the kid's embarrassing story to tell when they get older. :o) Can't wait.
