Last Weekend

Audrey went to stay the night with Aunt Sara on Saturday. We met in Bloomington and Sara took her back to Champaign with her. I tried to get her to take Henry too, but she wasn't ready for that. They went to the mall, had pizza, rode the carousel, went to the candy store, bought a Hello Kitty bracelet, went swimming, and went to see Kung Fu Panda all in one day. Needless to say Audrey did NOT want to come back home and was very tired. We met in Bloomington again on Sunday afternoon to pick her up. We decided to meet at the Children's Museum and check it out for awhile before coming home. It had heard it is a really fun place and we hadn't been before. Well I think Audrey was a little too tired from the day before. We checked out the first floor and had been on the second floor for about 10 min. when Audrey said she needed to use the bathroom. There was one pretty close so we headed that way, but first Audrey had to look one more time at the life-size cows that you could milk. Well that was a big mistake because she didn't quite make it to the toilet. She was literally a foot from it when she declared that she had waited too long and had an accident! I looked in the stall to see her standing on the floor next to the toilet peeing with her shorts pulled down half way. Luckily there wasn't anyone else in the restroom and there was a floor drain in her stall! We didn't have a change of clothes for Audrey in the diaper bag because she hasn't done this in months maybe even years! Sean (Sara's boyfriend) was parked right outside the museum and drove Sara to her car in the parking garage a couple of blocks away, where Audrey's overnight bag was. They brought it back to Jason who was waiting with Henry (who by this point was not in the greatest of moods himself) by the front door of the museum so they could ride the elevator back up to us and give us a change of clothes. All of this took 15 - 20 minutes so I stood with Audrey (naked from the waist down and whimpering) in a restroom stall. Sara and Sean decided they had had enough and went home and we only stayed 10 more minutes. We had to promise that we would come back sometime soon. Henry was really tired by this point and has decided that he doesn't want to nap in his stroller. We walked back to the van in the parking garage. The elevator wasn't working and we were on the very top level, so we carried Henry, the bags, the stroller, and Audrey's booster seat up ALL the flights of stairs. The whole time Audrey was complaining that she wanted to go back with Aunt Sara and that she was tired and hungry. Henry ended up screaming off and on the whole way home ( a 45 - 60 min trip). Now if you haven't experienced Henry's scream it is something else! He uses his most angry, top of his lungs scream for everything from I'm near death to you aren't getting me my bananas fast enough. Audrey decided to join in every once in awhile too! Bedtime couldn't come early enough last night! All of this made me really think that 2 kids was enough. A lot of our friends have just had, or are pregnant with their third and Audrey keeps saying that she wants 3 kids in her family. I keep telling her that 2 is the right number for us :)
