Embarrassing moment



So I was thinking today I needed to go to Kohls which brought up a memory I had tried to erase for a long time. Jake has done and said many embarrassing things in his life time (embarrassing for us of course). But this one tops them all. When he was about 2 we went to Kohls with my parents. I was potty training him, so he was wearing underwear, but he had had a little accident so we just took his pullup off. I had been looking around not really paying attention to Jake thinking that my parents were also watching him. He wasn't on a stroller so he had been walking around.
We finally made it to the register and I asked Jake "do you need to go to the bathroom". He said no of course, and a man standing behind me, kindly whispered in my ear "I think he already went and I stepped on it". In disbelief and shocked I just said, "no but he has pullups" before I even finished and realizing what had happened I wanted to scream and cry and hide forever. Jake only had shorts on and at some point he had pooped somewhere in the store and this man stepped on it. I have to say he was so understanding and kind. If I would have stepped on some kids poop I don't think I would have reacted the same.
Any ways, I was soo mortified, and he kept saying "it's ok we have grandkids and we know how it is".
Anyways, I've been very nostalgic lately, our friends had a beautiful baby girl and holding her made me think about how fast they grow. My big boy will soon be going to the big K and I've been looking at pics of him when he was little. This is one of my favorites, if he only would have done this while we were at Kohls!!!

update

So a year later, we have a clean garage!! I didn't think it would ever happen, but it's done! It feels soo good to get things done. My next project is to do something with the landscaping in the front, paint or antique our cabinets (all of them), decorate our bedroom, and kill the japonese bettles, it never ends.
I'm also taking tennis lessons, so far so good, I may be ready for a match soon.
Just a few weeks till my brother gets here, so exciting, but also just 30 days till Jake starts school, so sad. I'll miss him a lot.
I'm reading a Mom after God's own heart by one of my favorite authors Elizabeth George, and helped me make a few really good changes. Anyways, it's a great book.
On a different note, it is now illegal to spank kids in Costa Rica. So I'll have to be really careful from now on, so I don't end up in a Costa Rican jail...
