A "milestone" I could've done without... :)

[mommy_someday]

It happens, I know. It's pretty inevitable really. You can only knock on wood so many times before that particular trick stops working. I just always hoped it would be DH, rather than me, standing in the bath with Luke surrounded by swimming poo.

Houston, we have a problem... :P


Feel free to share your latest funny/disgusting moments of parenthood!

A little background first - I am constantly reminding everyone in my house to close the toilet seat and keep the bathroom door closed fearing that my DD will throw something down the toilet. My DD has a favorite blankie about 8 inches square and she likes to use it for various purposes - snuggling, playing peek-a-boo, wiping her face etc. So she carries it with her everywhere including into the bathroom when I go to wash up. I am always afraid that while my face is full of soap she will be too curious for her own good and the blankie will be the first thing to end up in the toilet. Now we often play together where I will tuck the blankie in the back of my pants and we will walk around the house pretending to look for it. When she spies it in my pants she has a grand old time trying to catch it and grab it off my back. The other day, we were playing the same game but we got distracted when DH walked in and both my DD and I forgot about the blankie in the back of my pants. I didn't remember it until I saw it swimming in the toilet bowl I had just peed in a half hour later. My DD just looked at in the bowl and said "Mommy Make Blankie Yucky". My whole family got a big laugh out of the fact that I was the one who ended up putting the blankie in the toilet. Luckily since the blankie is homemade by grandma, we have several clones with which to replace it.

Erica- I keep a plastic cup next to the bathtub now for just that problem. I disinfected once and I don't want to again! :P

Sorry... it's so icky.

This is one of those milestones that you *want* to happen late. :) Yuck! Don't worry, it's DH's turn next. ;)

My dd picked her nose for the first time a couple of days ago.
Hoping it won't become a habit, but heck, it is a milestone! ; )

Last night, after giving DS a shower, I took off my pants, which got pretty wet in the process, and before I pulled on the new pair on, not only did I get a kiss on the butt from DS but also a compliment. It roughly translated as "Nice butt". DH was right there in the bedroom and was laughing his head off. He said guess now we know what DS will be into when he grows up. Note to self, stop kissing DS on the butt.

We get a lot of funny comments from DS regarding private parts, guess that's the age when it all begins, but this is the only one I feel comfortable sharing.

LOL! I thought it was bad enough when I was getting dressed the other day and DS put both hands on my butt, but kissing...that's too funny. I'm sure the milestone my DS could have done without was when he got out of the shower and DS yanked on his private parts. He's always sure to put on undies now right away before DS can get to his family jewels.

It's the day apparently, Erica, because just today, for the first time in my almost 3 years as a parent, I also got to engage in the Dance of the Swimming Poo.

No sorry, buddy, when your sister poops in the bath with you, you can't just turn your back to it, hope it stays on the other side of the tub and continue about your happy playing. It also isn't something interesting for you to collect with your many cups of water. We're done with that game now. Mommy has to don her gloves and hope that she doesn't hurl....
