Today was not one of my favorite days...
put big boy underwear on Stephen after breakfast
"Do you need to go potty?" - "No"
literally one minute later I am cleaning pee off the bathroom floor
try again - fresh undies...
watching Clifford makes Stephen too busy to mention that he needs to pee again
clean up and more clean undies - oh and a successful poopy in the pot - yea!
eat lunch together
blow dry my hair and return to a smelly boy who has pooped in his underwear - what the? he JUST went!
okay, now we are going to be late for preschool (I am an assistant for my friend at her preschool - Stephen is allowed to tag along out of the goodness of my friend's heart!)
wash poopy undies out in toilet...
Stephen dons pull-ups
arrive at preschool a little behind schedule
Stephen refuses to try to go on the potty when mommy asks him
one of the little girls in the class asks if he needs to use the potty and THEN he was all excited about it - whatever - at least he went
(I felt very ashamed of myself for being so irritated because as I was helping Stephen zip and button his pants he threw his arms around my neck and said "ohhh, I wuv you mommy, I wuv you so much!"...he has never said that to me on his own before)
in a fit, Stephen smears green paint all over my freshly washed maternity jeans (my ONLY pair that fit right now and I JUST pulled them out of the dryer before comming here)
WHAT is that smell??
POOP AGAIN???!!!!
(a side note - as I was doing the "pull and check" on the back of Stephen's pants the poo was so high up his back side that it got on my fingers...nice)
clean up in the bathroom at preschool - at least it was in pull-ups this time
fresh pull ups
oh, he peed in the toilet again at this point (yea!) except that somehow some got in my HAIR??? (Don't ask...)
put together 4 puzzles that Stephen has pulled off the shelf
put Stephen's shoe back on
go outside to play - put Stephen's shoes on again
in the car heading home Stephen says he needs to go potty when we get home
he does succesfully except that he got pee on his hand and before I could react reaches out and touches my face near my mouth - OH MY SICK!!!
Things have improved since we got home from school - we both had naps and I plugged in Wall-e for Stephen to watch while I blog.
I don't really expect that anyone would read all of that but if you did sorry for all of the poo and pee! I had to write about it because it has literally been my entire day!
(I absolutely adore my little Steve. He is a really happy and loveable little guy! We have been working on potty training for 2 weeks now and things have been going quite well so far. We have even had a few accident free days. This is probably one of the worst days but still not like it was in the beginning! Tomorrow will be better I hope...)

Oh no! What a day! You wore me out reading that. I don't know if I have that kind of energy to put into potty training.....Jacob might be in a diaper when he's five!
Your visit with Tina sounded really fun!
Yup! I've had a few of those days myself, unfortunatly. Potty training is definitly something I would love to hire out! They should have a potty training camp. I would totally pay for it!
Great job on surviving the day! 5 stars to you!!!
I remember those days with Talan. Were no matter what you do it was just one of those days. Yuck. I think it is a boy thing.
This certainly sounds like a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day:( I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to potty train thus far. I haven't been aggressive as I should because I am lazy and stories like this scare me... but encourage me at the same time. Gotta go through it anyway, might as well get it over with I suppose:)
