I suppose it’s one of those weird “Mommy” things that you get so excited when you wake up to dry beds.
Seriously, I had to stop myself from calling my sis-in-law to proclaim my joy.
To explain: Last night I realized that I did not have another pull-up for my potty challenged child. I searched the diaper bag and even the car looking for a pull-up, all to no avail. So I had pretty much resigned myself to washing sheets and gave my non-completely-potty-trained child a pair of regular undies. But then I got to thinking, maybe I could put a panty-liner* in the undies to catch any minor accidents and maybe, just maybe, there wouldn’t be a flood!
So this morning, with extreme trepidation, I checked and guess what? ALL DRY!! Yeah! There was uncertainty as we raced to the bathroom this morning, but luckily the panty-liner saved the day (or undies as the case may be).
There has been much rejoicing in our house this morning! We even fixed a real breakfast to celebrate AND texted Poppy a message during his classes to tell him!
Yeah… it’s the little things that thrill us around here 😉
* There’s a part of me that can’t believe that I just typed “panty-liner” not once but now THREE times on my blog. What’s next?? 🙂

You are right, it is funny what thrills us now AND what makes us laugh…aka- rice bomb! 🙂

Hey I was thinking, next time you should suddenly remember that YOU have a lunch appt and suddenly leave him with all the kids (minus Izzy ’cause he’d just make her do everything! 🙂 ).
“you sure do have your hands full….” Ya think? Here’s to *obvious* stranger comments!

FYI- it’s still working… it won’t hold in a major flood, but it does work for the last minute bathroom rush. Plus it’s MUCH cheaper than pull ups!!
