Naked Pottying

Potty training is so much fun! Will and Ben have been doing pretty good at it. Although it has not been something that comes naturally every day, we have been trying to use the potty every day. Wouldn't you know that the boys have really been good lately and I have not had any great stories to share...I am definately not complaining as I am thankful for no major messes. There is a but to this story though. This morning in the hecticness of trying to get everyone ready for school with lunches made, and the coats and backpacks ready to go, the boys did their normal routine of taking off their pjs for me. I really don't mind if they do this for it saves me a step. Well, I was packing lunches when I noticed the boys running around screaming, "I neakked! I neakked momma!" I tell them how proud I am of them and they continue running around the "track" as we call the circle that takes them from den to kitchen to dining room. A few moments later, I noticed that Will has gone completely naked and is now yelling "neakked dance mommie. I do neakked dance! Yeah!" This is my cue to find clothes and a diaper fast. Potty training or not, running naked around my house is not a good idea. I consider it like telling a dog not to eat a steak that is sitting on the edge of the table. So with that in mind I go immediately to get clothes. Will is still running around doing the naked dance. Ben decides to join in the naked dance, so being the smart mom I am I took them both to the potty to get it all out! Yeah. They both went and I am feeling good. After Will went, I sent him upstairs to get some more pull-ups. We had run out down stairs and a little errand never hurt a 2 year old. Ben finishes up in the bathroom and I have the clothes. Where is Will? Before I could fret, Will comes running up with a curious look. He turns around with his back to me, bends over and says, "My booty is dirty..." Can you guess what that little guy did? He went upstairs and literally pooped in the floor. This is a first. I have never had any of my children poop like an animal in the floor. Frankly, I never had even thought to mention in my prayers that I was thankful this had never happened. Well, I have been taught a lesson today. For I am hoping that I will never have to clean my childs poop out of the carpet again! Luckily, it wasn't too bad. I think my prayer for my boys tomorrow is that all the poo and pee will land in the right place...the potty.
