This morning we all got up a little bit earlier than normal in order to go to a playgroup. I got everyone up, dressed and fed in good time, so I sat down at the computer for 2 minutes to eat breakfast.

I heard a loud fart/poop across the room. Nice, Ember. So much for that clean diaper.

Before I’d even gotten up Kate – who was in panties – gasped and said, “Oh no, wet! Mama, pee pee!” I see her standing in the middle of the floor, legs apart, looking down. There’s a few dribbles on the floor and her pants are all wet. I go over and help her out of the pants and try to keep her from stepping in the pee puddle. While I take her wet pants to her room to put in the laundry basket I hear her walking along behind me. She says, happily, “Mama, look! Paw prints!” and points to the wet footprints she left behind her all the way down the hall.

I got that cleaned up and went to change Ember only to discover that poop escaped the diaper and I also need to locate a new sleeper to put her in.

Needless to say, we were late for playgroup this morning.
