Bea had her first unintended lesson in potty training recently and, as demonstrated in this photo, was none to happy with Mom a day after the experience.It all happened one evening when Bea was super tired and happily went to bed about 6:15pm. Karl was out for the evening and Meghan was looking forward to a quiet evening at home after some long work days and sleepless nights. To Meghan's confusion, Bea woke up about one hour later rather upset. Upon checking in on Bea, Meghan discovered the source of the crying...apparently, a tired Meghan makes for a forgetful Meghan who manages to put her baby to bed WITHOUT a diaper. We guess Bea wasn't quite ready to hold her pee for even an hour and, as one would expect from an almost 6 month old, she soaked herself and the bed.
Oh my...angry baby indeed. Meghan managed to change Bea's jammies and change the bedding while Bea managed to wail and wail and wail. There was no calming an angry Bea!
All in all, Meghan's quiet evening at home and Bea's first potty training experience ended with Bea crying for 1 and 1/2 hours while Meghan tried every soothing strategy in her book of tricks but to no avail. Many tears later, Bea finally went back to sleep at 9:30pm...with a diaper on.
Perhaps we'll try again in about 18 months...
This is a great story and very funny! I recall falling asleep while Karl was napping at that age and waking up to a house full of black film on everything as the kettle had burned the contents (baby bottle nipples) down to black rubber! Babies and sleep deprivation go hand in hand.
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha!!!! Too funny. Guess she told you! Even mad at Mom, she's cute as she can be.
