This morning I decided to travel into the city to meet up with a new adoption support group.
Now you think the fact that it was cold and raining and they were going to meet at a playground would be enough for me to guess that they would cancel, but no not me, I busied myself getting the kids ready and off to school, packing food and gear for Jeremiah and me and off I went having a feeling of satisfaction that I was smoothly handling everything.
Of course I rocked up and no one was there, surprise surprise. No problem I thought (still feeling like I had everything covered), I'll just let JJ out of the seat, we can have a snack in the car and travel the 40 minutes back home.
Jeremiah has just turned 22 months and decided he wanted to toilet train about a month ago (well really 3 months ago but I took a while to catch on). I cannot find any jocks or trainer pants to fit him because his bottom is so small, so he still wears an infant size nappy (next one up from newborn which he can also fit in still), plus, the nappy gives him some hope of keeping some pants up. We just put the nappy on and off throughout the day. He only has about 1 to 2 dribble accidents a day but still prefers to do number 2's in the nappy.
BUT not today!
He decided he wanted the toilet...
JJ - toilet, toilet
Me - you want the toilet JJ? (I have a potty in the car for such events, then I just tip it descretely into a gutter - so I'm still feeling like a really prepared Mum)
JJ - Poo's Mummy
Me - (OK not so prepared for number 2's) Umm, you want to do poo's in your nappy JJ?
JJ, - Nooo, toilet!
So to cut a long story short I ended up in the city with no one there that I was meant to meet, the rain pouring down, and sitting in a car with a poop in a potty!!
Whats worse is that when the rain died off, I had to drive to a public toilet, carry JJ in one arm and a poopy potty in the other whilst people driving by had a good old laugh!!
Well, I'm glad the morning wasn't a complete waiste of time - Jeremiah now wants to do poo's in the toilet and I got to entertain passes by!!
Oh one last thing, why is the date on my posts have the day and the month back to front?
