Gah!

This is a fun week.  It's Lola's birthday week.  Her party is on Friday, but I just realized that tomorrow is her actual day of birth and I want to party with her then too with just our family, at breakfast or something.
So after Sam's we slurped down a healthy smoothie and went to a toy store to look around.
I thought I could maybe purchase something without her seeing.  They have this table there with a doll house and little animals on it and she love to play with that while I shop.  It's perfect.
Well, I was undecided and wanted to look at another store, so I said, "Let's go, Lola.  Time to leave."  She was standing funny and said, "I peed."  Ugh.  Darn.  That's annoying.  But I didn't see anything on the carpet.  "Okay, Lola. Let's go get cleaned up."  I was headed toward the door and the store lady was bidding us farewell.  She smiled and watched us walk out.

It was not until we reached the van that I saw both of Lola's legs just slathered in runny poo.  It was the same color as her legs, so I guess that's why I hadn't seen it before.  Thankfully, it stopped at her shoes.  I have no idea how long that poo was there.  Maybe the lady saw it as we walked out and thought I was really stupid for being so chill about it.

The whole time I was cleaning it up, I was thankful for a few things.  One, our picnic/soccer game blanket was in the back, so I saved our van interior by putting that under Lola.  Two, I happened to grab the wipes on the way out the door, which I don't always do.  And there were just enough to clean up the mess (27 or so).  I will not be serving healthy smoothies before errand running anymore.

And, I apologize for having bragged about her quick potty training success.
