She goes and changes things! Today I thought we would run errands in the morning since Tater Tot has been napping later. We get in the truck and…doh! The battery’s dead. Get a jump and we’re on our way to run errands. Halfway there I look back and The Tot is asleep! It’s 9:00! Crap. Go home. She wakes up within minutes so we go run our errands. Who knows when/if she’ll nap again today. She’s currently having some Not-So-Quiet Playtime instead of her afternoon nap…

Tonight we’re going to a dealie at The Daddy’s summer job and instead of coming home, we’re going to The Grandparents House. It’s just closer and it’ll be past Tater Tot’s bedtime. So, I really should be packing all the myriad of stuff that one needs to in order to travel with a Tot but I’m not. I’m blogging instead. Is that a good idea? Probably not.

I really thought I would escape Tater Tot’s childhood without this sort of incident but, alas, I didn’t. Today in the bath, as I was just about to take her out as luck would have it, she pooped. Good Lord! I did not need that today of all days when I should be packing all the stuff one needs to take with you…blah, blah, blah. You get the picture. So, instead of packing, I was trying to evacuate the tub of all fecal matter and then scrubbing it to within an inch of its’ life. The upside is that I have a really, really clean tub now. The downside…well, it’s pretty obvious, isn’t it?

Well, I’d better go because The Tot’s time is about up and she’s none too happy about still being in her crib. So I get to wrangle her into “helping Mommy pack”. Yeah, that’ll work.
