I was running errands with Ethan yesterday while Gavin and Emery were in preschool and something occurred to me. With one baby (vs. 3 kids), I can go to the bathroom ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE I WANT TO! Well, within reason of course. This is huge! For the last 3+ years, bathroom stops have not been a simple process. When Gavin and Emery were babies, I could tell you exactly which places had bathroom stalls big enough to accommodate the double stroller. If I was at a place where the stroller just wouldn’t fit, I’d be forced to leave the stall door open with the stroller half in and half out. Oh yes…..I did do this many times! If we were using the side by side stroller instead of the tandem (one in front of the other), I could just forget finding a bathroom where we would all fit!
Now that I have 3 kids (1 in the stroller & 2 walking, 1 potty trained & 1 “in training”), I’ve just stopped drinking all liquids. Bathroom breaks are just out of the question. Don’t get me wrong, we make plenty of quick trips when Emery needs to go “right now”, but I’m not adding my own bathroom breaks to the craziness.
So, my plan for next week is to drive around drinking whatever I want and taking as many potty breaks as I need to. Here is a tentative agenda for Tuesday during preschool hours:
1) Starbuck’s Pumpkin Spice Latte (Venti)
2) Sonic Large Diet Limeade
3) Panera Large Iced Tea
I can’t wait! :-)

You are HILARIOUS!!!!! I never go to the bathroom in public with the girls- too much trouble. Double stroller doesn't fit and if they're walking, they end up with their hands on/in toilets or their mouths on the trash cans. Sick! LOVE your Tuesday agenda. ;) Wish my girls had school the same day/s as yours- we could meet for that pumpkin spice latte!
I can totally relate and only have 2 of the 3. Drink up honey!
