Shower

So I got home from Menards today and Noelen had left a BIG surprise for me in his diaper (we have been working on trying to get him to potty train but not this time!). Parents... it was one of those really bad ones.... the ones that do not stay contained in the diaper... yep. Anyways, I wiped off most of it but Noelen still smelled awful so I took him downstairs to the basement bathroom to give him a shower. He has taken showers before but was resistant at first... that was until he got in. Then I think the power of a shower took over him because he stayed in there for 20 minutes (basically until I turned off the shower).

Here is how the shower went:
After about 5 minutes I asked if he wanted out. He responded quickly "No, I still have poop on my bottom". So I proceeded to wash him off... if there was any poop left on him it wasn't much...

At 10 minutes I asked if he wanted out and he gave me the same answer... apparently he figured it worked before why not use the same line again.... like a bad pick up line.

About 15 minutes into the shower I heard him calling me from the shower. I had assumed by this time he was done (that is a longer shower than I usually take). But, no. He called me in to tell me that he "needed the water hotter".... it was cooler but still I started laughing and told him he was almost done and he again gave me the "I still have poop on my bottom line". Oh well I thought... a few more minutes.

So at minute 20 I went in and turned off the shower. I could tell he was bummed and told me for the last time that he had "poop on his bottom still". I responded that "your fine" and he proceeded to get out of the shower. At that point he told me that tile floor was cold and tiptoed across the floor onto the carpet. At that point he was dried off and I put on a fresh diaper and clean clothes.


Don't long leisurely showers start when kids are teenagers? Not when they are 3? I guess that is just a sign of what is to come. It was funny though.
