Moving on though---
Lofton graciously offered to take a day off so we could do something fun with Reese. A day off without his work phone. It was AMAZING. We decided that since we already visited the zoo {last Spring}, maybe we should try the aquarium. To Atlanta we went...
Y'all we had the best time! Yes it was crowded, but we got there shortly after it opened so things weren't too bad. We arrived right at feeding time for the whale sharks and had a front row seat. We chose not to take the stroller in which was probably our best idea of the day. Maneuvering a stroller through the masses would not have been fun and Reese would have been constantly in and out of it anyway. Lofton and I just took turns holding him.
I could go on and on about how amazing it is to watch something like this through your child's eyes... just incredible! But instead, how about some PiCtUrES?

And now we come to the urine part of our little field trip. So, about mid-tour I decided little man could probably use a diaper change. He hadn't had one since we left Opelika, and after breakfast and the car ride I just knew it was time. I also had NOT packed a spare pair of pants. I like to live dangerously.
Long story short {and this is much funnier in person} I take Reese into one of the large handicap stalls. It had lots of room and since I refuse to use on of those pull down--eww gross--changing things a large stall is necessary. You see, I have mastered the art of changing Reese while he stands up. Patent is pending.
I take Reese's diaper off and reach behind me to toss his wet diaper in the trash. All the while I'm saying "Hold up your shirt Boo so I can put your new diaper on." I turn around and imagine my shock when I see my child pee-ing EVERYWHERE. On the floor, his hands, his only pair of pants, did I say the floor? I flipped out! I was saying "Stop! STOP!" But obviously he couldn't. I have honestly never seen so much urine come out of a two year old in one sitting. And he, of course, thought the whole thing was hysterical. He was saying "Mama, dare is tee-tee everywhere" and laughing!
Needless to say the second half of our aquarium adventure involved him in some semi-wet pants. Luckily, he only tinkled on the top part of his pants and his shirt covered that up.
Goodness. Life with a toddler is never boring. Ever.
