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!!!
