Here I sit in the doctor's office. It's our typical Monday apptmt. This time we have a young friend with us – I'm helping his mom who has an apptmt today. For the SECOND week in a row, Samuel has pooped while I was back with the doctor (I visit with her briefly before Jacob goes back). Last week I was prepared with diapers and wipes in the car. This week, not so much. The dr had an extra diaper and some paper towels. Hallelujah!

I changed him on the bathroom counter only to find a blow-out! On his clothes. I come back to the waiting room to find that it was also on the couch! The horror! Forgive me if your squeamish about poop talk (I am) – unfortunately this is my current reality. It's all cleaned up now but the little girl and her mom who go after us refuse to come in the wait room because of the smell. I'd like to just shrink into a corner now and hibernate, wake me up when he's potty trained (which won't happen until after trek).

    Dear Mother Mer,
    I am SO sorry that the “sweetest guy ever” has EXPLODED in the doc’s office but this story just cracks me up. Oh the joys of parenthood.
    I guarantee you will run into this mother/daughter again at some point – It NEVER fails – this is when you take the “high road” and just s m i l e at them knowing that the Febreze is packed in the diaper bag

    This is hilarious. I had to do a reading double-take when I read the word “pooped”. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard you tell a similarly-themed story. But, I’m glad you shared this one cause it just makes me laugh. Sweet little Sam. šŸ™‚
