Getting the stink eye at the playground....

Tonight I met up with my good friend Laura and her two precious girls at the mall. We walked a little, ate dinner and then ended our play date at the little "playground" so that the kids could burn off some steam before bed. Everything was going really well and we were all having a fun time!

Then we hit the playground.

First of all, if you have ever been in a playground at the mall, there are like a zillion kids there. And the one at this particular mall is not monitored, so half of the kids in there are like 15 years old. Which sparks the question "why are pre-teens hanging out at the playground in the mall?" but whatever....So the older kids are playing (and I am wearing Matthew in the Baby Bjorn) and all of a sudden I look over at Jonathan and he is staring at his pants. And the pee coming out of his pants. And running down his leg. And puddling on the floor....in front of the zillion kids and parents at the playground. And of course he is cracking up. Now, this was all very confusing to me since Jonathan is still in diapers (don't roll your eyes, the kid is only 27 months old) and I was pretty confident that I remembered to put one on him before we left the house. As I am sitting there mentally considering the possibility that I could have, in fact, forgotten to put a diaper on the kid, I look over and see a Mom and Dad sitting next to Jonathan....and giving me the stink eye. Talk about Judgy McJudgersons. I swear I could read their minds..."Wow. Look at that Mom who can't control her kids. Let's see how she handles this one....rookie!" So I go to Jonathan and discover that his diaper had come un-velcroed and was actually not covering anything at all. In fact, it was inching it's way down the leg of his pants....imagine how awesome that would have been if my kid had been running around the place with a dirty diaper hanging out the leg of his pants. ANYWAY. I hand Matthew over to Laura (who was all calm and collected because she is cool like that) and change Jonathan's diaper right there in the middle of the playground. And of course I am getting the stink eye AGAIN for this. Once he is relatively clean, I use my last diaper wipe to scrub as much pee off the floor as I can. All the while The McJudgerson's are still staring. So we get past that crisis, I reattach Matthew to the Bjorn and life moves on. For 5 minutes. That's all it took before Matthew's diaper busted as well. All down his leg,  puddled in the bottom of the Bjorn....warmly soaking into the front of my shirt. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I just looked at Laura and said that was my cue to leave. Thankfully, I was able to hide this situation a little better and The McJudgerson's had diverted their stink eye to another unsuspecting Mom. Whew....dodged that bullet. And let the record state that these are the same parents whose kid was running around eating pretzel bites......guess they didn't see the huge sign that said "NO FOOD OR DRINK ALLOWED!" If I wasn't so busy cleaning up pee, I would have given them the freaking stink eye.

So it was an exciting evening. Both boys went straight into the bath when we got home (they just started bathing together.) Where they promptly peed on each other. No joke.
