Other parents start arriving, some excited, some wishing they had one more hour. The door opens and out start coming out the kids. His teacher catches my eyes and start smiling from ear to ear "oh Mrs. Barone I have a new one for you...you are not going to believe this". She takes me to the side before noah comes out and proceeded to tell me that all the kids had gone to the school playground that day. When suddenly some kids came running to her and started screaming "Noah pooped....Noah popped...!!!!" Just so you know Noah is potty trained, has been since he was 2 1/2. I was mortified. She continued with the story. She said she went and found Noah near the scene of the crime and he confirmed that yes he had indeed pooped in the back of the playground (at least he was honest). He said not to worry he had covered it up with leaves. He had done such a good job that even his teacher and the custodian could not find it.
I could not believe it. I was mortified that my little boy had pulled his pants down, squatted and mooned everyone driving on that road. It's a busy road too. My sons rear end had been plastered all over kings park road.
I waited to talk to him over dinner that way Fabio could be there. His explanation was that he was having too much fun and he saw his friend peeing in the back of the playground. Noah said he needed to poop and didn't want to miss the fun so he thought he would do it like our dog Ginger does pooping in the grass.
At dinner my husband and I wanted to scold him but the fact that he wAs honest made us proud. Lucas heard what happened and laughed and said "that's what he does in the back yard, he pees out there because he doesn't want to come in and miss all the fun". Oh great now our yard is filled with Noah and gingers pee all over.
So every morning we remind Lucas "focus and listen" and before we get to Noah he says "and I promise not to poop in the playground"
Oh boy...wonder what Kindergarten holds for us.
