Conversation with Hayden

The kids were out playing in the yard with the neighbors, I looked out the window to check on them and couldn't see Hayden. I found him hiding in the garage...he just pooped his pants. I brought him in, cleaned him up, bathed him, and this was the conversation that followed.

H:"Can I go back outside?"

Me (a little snippy):"No, because you just pooped your pants."

H: "Does that make Jesus sad?"

Me: "I don't know, but it makes me sad because I have to clean up the mess?"

H: "Yeah, Jesus doesn't clean up my poop. That's gross!"

I laughed and sent him back outside.

Oh the joys of Motherhood! Cleaning up poopy pants was not in our conversation when we decided to have children.

Amy- you are too funny. I can hear your voice having this conversation with Hayden. Good thing you have a sense of humor.

Sounds like way too many conversations that Ian and I have had lately! He's got #1 down, but the #2s usually end up in his pants! Ugh! He's almost 4 and I am so done with cleaning it up.

What gets me through each incident is that I know he won't be going to the 4th grade with a pull-up on or even poop in his pants...can I just fast-forward??
