Potty at the Park

It never fails that whenever we get to the park Emma has to go potty. Not every time but a good majority of the time. And yes, she has even peed her pants at the park. I was there with a friend and all the sudden we see something dripping, really pouring, out of the big tube the kids were in. We left embarrassed and feeling sorry for the other kids that were at the park! To my credit I did spray it off with a huge water bottle my friend had.

So we were at the park yesterday and went potty right before we left and of course after being there for 5 minutes Emma has to go potty. I asked if she could hold it and she said she could. About 20 minutes later I could tell it was getting to the point where she REALLY had to go. So, announcing that we had to go my oh so smart friend Melissa said, "I have a potty in my trunk she can use." Who carries a potty in there trunk? SMART moms do! So, we got the potty out, set it in our car, and she sat on the potty like she would anywhere else. Of course you have to dump the pee or heaven forbid take the poop home but you don't have to leave the park!

If you have ever had a toddler have to go to the bathroom at the park I think you will agree as to what a great idea this is! If you don't have kids you will probably just think this is weird but o'well. Sad the things that get us moms excited.

Ha ha ha, this post made me laugh so hard. The trunk potty can be a total lifesaver. People cannot judge unless they have been there.
