As the weather turns colder getting out of my nice warm bed gets harder and harder. Actually, the weather is just a new excuse for me to not get out of bed in the morning. I have the same trouble all year long. But that's beside the point. Today was another one of those days and I was running a tid bit behind. BJ was not running as behind as I was and after getting dressed told me he was going down stairs to eat and leave. He did then came back up as I was about to go get Elijah. We both got our crabby kid up and today must have been sponsored by the word "NO." Any question asked was answered with our favorite word. "Elijah, do you want to wear this shirt today?" NOOOOOO. "Do you want to wear these pants or these pants? Naaooooo. It was everything. At that point BJ exited stage Left. That was fine with me. I had the patients for this today. I finally convinced Elijah that since he did not want to wear socks today he needed to take off his footie pajamas. It was a deal. I have basically mastered the stand up diaper change so as long as I had the PJ's off I was good. I just pulled down his PJ's but did not take them off his feet. I needed leverage if he broke down later. I took off his diaper and it was FULL. The kid must have had a gallon of water to drink before he went to bed last night.
As I took off his diaper I wrapped it up...and then it happened. It took me a while to realize what "it" was but "it" was pee, and "it" was on me. I freaked. Ahh, pee. What do I do to stop it? I don't know, grab something, THE DIAPER. As I put the diaper up to catch the pee I realize I had the water proof side catching the pee which means it was just spraying all over me. I then yell at Elijah to "STOP" I think I frightened him so he did. Then I tried to gain my composure and figure out what to do next. Thought to long more pee. This time I decided to hold my hand out so it wouldn't spray on me. Great idea. Now I had a hand full of pee. Now what genius? I finally just pick him up and carry him to the bathroom. He was done peeing by that time. I wash my hand, call BJ who was only a couple of blocks away and he came back home. I then had to change my pants and clean up pee while BJ got Elijah dressed. From the bedroom I hear Elijah say, "I pee Mommy" BJ laughs and Elijah follows it up with, "I goch you Mommy."
