Peggy left for Costa Rica today. They had a tough start and ended up missing their connection in Atlanta. They are expected to be 9 hours behind schedule which is a huge bummer as they had today mostly to themselves once they got to Costa Rica.
The kids were good. They asked about Peggy (mama <- in a whine) many times but I just worked on deflecting them and we had a nice day. We made a trip to Target and the Home Depot early and then spent some time in the back yard. Jerry and Geri stopped by and the kids and I hung out with our Neighbor Joe (he even brought out some sidewalk chalk and drew with the kids. It was pretty great).
They were a little crazy at dinner, and we had watermelon so I decided to do baths. Ollie said he had to poop when we got him nene, so I sat him on the potty. He did go potty and immediately wanted to get off. I thought I was in the clear. After everyone all clean and the kids were just spashing in the water, Ollie turns to me and say's "Oh Oh" and he's holding a turd. I froze...then told him to hang on (I almost took it from him, but that would have been soooo gross) and reached for some toilet paper. But when I turned back, he had let go and I noticed there were several others in the water as well.
We quickly pulled the kids out and there was much angst that there was poo in the bath, but we washed up Ollie's hands and put on some diapers and then chlorine bleached the bath and the toys so clean them up. Ollie was pretty funny, he was telling Hazel we had to clean the bath. I think he knew he had done something wrong.
We played the rest of the night and they were just happy all the way up to bed time. Ollie collected his "snugglies" and the Haze and I went and grabbed hers from the pack and play.
They went to bed quickly and quietly. I have great kids.
Already we miss Peggy.
Pat.
