A piece of my day

I'm feeding Ryan in the recliner. I notice is almost 1 PM. I told Carter to go potty and wipe off his face now because I forgot to do it after lunch. Carter does. He notices a couple of drops of pee landed on his pants; he comes to show me. I tell him to go change his pants. He goes to get a pair of jeans and shows me. They are Logans. I told him to go back and get a pair of his jeans. He does. He then notices that he has a couple of drips on his underwear. He decides he needs to change those too so he takes his underwear off and grabs a fresh pair of underwear. He comes to me and has them on.... backwards. I tell him they are backwards, to take them off and turn them around. He does take them off. Instead of turning around he turns it inside out and he puts it back on. I told him that they are again inside-out take them off and fix him. He fixes them and puts them on backwards again and put both legs through one leg. He bursts out in laughter. He then fixes that, but they are now inside out again. I call Logan over to help. He gets them all set. Carter puts them on backwards. Logan helps again and we have achieved success. Yay!

Now, the pants. He manages to squeeze (he's a growing boy & the pair he picked a pair that is getting snug) them on. I help him button those (it is a slide clasp; kinda tricky). Victory!

I notice his face is still a mess. I tell him to go wipe it off again. Off he trots. Water turns on. Wiping happens. Mom.....I have too much water on my Arm. What?! He goes to get a different shirt as the arm is soaked!

Repeat underwear process for the shirt, including Logan helping. Not ever inside out but backwards many times. At one point Logan gave up, but came back. They finally got the shirt on!

Carter's face is still messy. By this time I was done feeding Ryan, so I took him into the bathroom and showed him what I wanted him to do in the first place. I wiped off his face; it was now clean. I told him to go take a nap with Tao and he asked for 10 more minutes. We negotiated for about one minute and he finally laid down. I changed Ryan's diaper and came back to read him a book as part of the negotiation; he was already asleep.

Yeah, you could say that exchange was a bit exhausting. It was funny too....however at the end he scored a nap and I didn't. Hmmm...

I love it all though. :)
