Every First Time Mom's Mistake...

I fed Erica some Spagettios and she covered herself from head to toe in the sauce.


When she was done, I took her to the sink, took her diaper off and washed her down. I decided to let her crawl around naked for a few MINUTES while I cleaned down her high chair. This was my next surprise:

Yuck!! Yuck!! Yuck!! She had it mushed in her foot and she was trying to get it with her hands. I got her to the bath before she could eat it.

Please share any similar stories so I don't feel like a bad mom. (:

at least you anticipated the mess so you fed her with only a diaper on, that was a great move! as far as pooping stories go... we were trying to potty train natalie and she ran out and pooed on the carpet, of course it was the day after the carpets had been cleaned too :-) you're not the only one :-)

Ewww. It happens eventually. :) I learned that my kids must have pants on top of their diapers at all times or the diaper is off. I was really surprised a couple of weeks ago when Noah got up from his nap without a diaper on and it was obvious it had not been on the whole nap. Yuck!

We had poop on the carpet yesterday! Lovi was up stairs alone and took off her poopy diaper... she wanted to use the potty she said.

This happens every time I give Luke a popscicle. I keep thinking it will be a better experience and it never is.

I imagine I'm not the kind of person (a fellow mother) that you really want any feedback from but...I'm impressed by moms who will let their little kid trounce around naked from time to time.

It seems kids get all dressed up these days. For better or worse, if dads were in charge the kids would always be hanging out in their diapers (at least in the summer).

Ha Ha, Poop everywhere! At least it was on you like it was on me!!

I still think letting them run around naked once in awhile is worth the potential mess. Because pretty soon running around naked at all won't be okay. And let's face it - clothes are annoying, especially in the summer :)

This is hilarious. And I ditto Shar's comment. We were lucky enough to catch every 'poo' but there were plenty of times when West peed all over the floor. I hated it, but he loved running around naked so much that it was worth it. (Always right before bathtime!)
Love your posts. Erica is so cute and fun!
