If you’ve read my blog before, you know that pee, for some reason, is a big issue at our house. I guess that’s better than it being poop!
Hannah is potty trained, but she still uses her little potty more than the big potty. It’s meant less accidents for her since it’s portable and she can carry it to which ever room she’s playing in.
I’m an only child, so I’m not privy to all the ways siblings will bond. I do wish someone had warned me, or maybe it’s just my kids that do it this way.
Monday morning both the kids were up and going pretty early. I was taking a little extra time to rest in my comfy recliner before really starting my day. Reagan had crawled to their room to play and I could hear electronic toys going off and her squealing or laughing every couple of minutes, so I knew she was okay. Hannah came in to cuddle with me for a few minutes, which was very sweet. I’ll take all the cuddling I can get from my girls!
When Hannah got down I remembered that her potty was in her room from the night before. I asked if it had any pee pee in it. She said, “ummmm, yes.” So I asked her to go make sure the lid was closed and that Reagan wasn’t in it. Off she ran to complete her mission. I know, I know, this is something I should have done myself, I was just hoping to steal a couple more minutes peace and quiet. A very short time later I realized it had gotten too quiet. I didn’t hear any toys being played with at all….panic set in as I jumped up and ran to their room.
Sure enough, instead of making sure the lid was closed, it was open, one child on each side of the potty. They were drenched with pee. Hannah was even taking both of her hands, dipping them in the pee and wetting Reagan’s hair with it. So gross! They both looked up at me when I entered the room and had huge grins on their faces.
They had early baths that day. The good news was that they hadn’t dumped the pee out on the carpet, so I only had to clean them!
It was pretty cute later that day, Hannah came up to me and said, “Mommy, I’m sorry we were playing in the pee.” We had a talk about the pee pee only belonging in the potty, I hope it sank in! I’m so tired of cleaning up the pee!
