oh crap

When these pictures were taken, I never planned on sharing them because they are gross and because my kid is naked.... but let's face it: those reasons have never stopped me before.

Let me start out by saying that ever since I lost my blackberry in California 2+years ago, I've been using the worst cell phone ever.  My husband teases me about it all the time and he's tried to buy me a smartphone twice, but I wasn't ready to make the change.  I pride myself in being frugal.  The screen may have been discolored and it dropped calls all the time... and the battery needed to be charged twice a day, but I didn't see why I needed an upgrade. Well, until last week, that is.

Did you know I hate potty training my kids?  Next to cleaning up puke, it's my least favorite thing about being a mom.  I haven't been eager to put Simon in underwear, but he is begging to sit on the toilet, so I'm trying hard not to complain too much.  He will go #1 several times a day, but #2 happens once in a blue moon.  These last few weeks, he's had the runs (which is really fun) so he sits on the toilet a LOT.  Sometimes he'll sit for an hour at a time.  My bathroom has become his own little hang out spot.  Last week, after a long battle on the pot, he finally let it loose!  I let him call Daddy to CELEBRATE the POOP!  and well, the celebration backfired on us.

Before the phone call-- so proud of himself!

"oh crap!" 

He felt SO bad and it was just so cute I had to laugh. (and take pictures) 

It was totally my bad for letting him talk while on the toilet....

I am 32 and I can barely do that responsibly.

 and just to gross you out a little more, let's get a close up...

The phone's screen said {error fatal} which made the whole situation more entertaining.

I scooped it out with a paper cup and threw it in the garbage...

I've been debating whether or not to enter the world of smartphones.

I have major issues with the amount of time parents spend on their phones. 

(I know it would be SO convenient, but I also know it will interfere with the way I mother.) 

But hey!  I came across this contest on facebook and figured it was destiny....

I may not be responsible enough to use an expensive phone, but ....

 it comes with free repairs for a LIFETIME!
