We were "THAT" family....

....why yes, we were "that" family this past weekend.
I can now say, as a parent, I will think twice before judging a family with a similar situation.

We went to church Saturday evening.
Madeline went potty right before we left for church. (yes we are in potty training mode)
Luke had eaten right before we left. (full belly means sleepy baby)
We sat in the second to last row....just in case.
My logic seemed perfect.....and then it backfired.....big time.

Within the first 10 minute Madeline announced she had to go the the bathroom and not #1, the other one....so off we took to the bathroom. No success. 10 minutes later Madeline announced she had to go to the bathroom again, a little louder this time, so off we went again. No success, dang. Back to our seats. 10 minutes later, we smelled gas and Madeline announced (rather loud) she had to go the bathroom, so off we went to the bathroom. No luck....dang. Yes, 10 minutes later Madeline said she had to go again....Jeremy took her to the bathroom....Madeline fell in....just her bottom, but she went "swimming" and no, no luck....crap. We then played the gambling game and said no more going to the bathroom and started to pray (we were in chuch so I was sure the message would get to God quicker) that Madeline didn't have an accident.

....10 minute later while walking up to communion, Luke woke up.....and not gracefully....one step away from communion and the little guy let's out a blood-wrenching cry.....the lady just looks at me and I smile and say Amen, I'm outta here....and off Luke and I go to the back to find a room so it doesn't sound like the little guy is being murdered since everything echos there.

The poor families sitting in the last row must have wondered.
So yes, we were "THAT" family. I can only imagine what this weekend holds.

I can say though, I will think twice before judging the family who is up and down with a child at church....when you're potty training you do what you have to do!
