Today was our first venture into public since the completion of Operation: Potty Training. Let me preface this, for those of you that don't know, by saying that I am completly germaphobic, especially when it comes to my children. They MUST be clean and not touch icky stuff.
I had errands to run today so off we went. In the middle of the grocery store Victoria utters those words I was NOT prepared for... "Mommy, I gotta go potty!". Ug! I was by myself (adult wise) and had Allie with me as well. The dash to the bathroom seemed to take an eternity, and the entire way I am praying for her to make it, and a moderatly clean facilty etc. Being a germaphobe I cannot let V sit on/touch or otherwise contact a toilet seat. I had bought nifty seat liners, but left them in the van. I have Allie in my arms and can't "hold" Victoria over the seat, so I set about using one hand to line the seat. Meanwhile, Victoria is running circles in the bathroom yelling I GOTTA GO POTTY NOW MOMMY!!! Long story short, we made it. It just made mde realize I need to learn to be prepared!!!

oh, Renee, i feel your pain. The public potty scene is hard. FYI -- i bought a little portable potty seat at target that folds up and flat, (it actually folds in on it's self, so you never touch the part that touches the toilet seat) and I kept it in a baggy in my purse. Totally a life saver! And, it made my girls feel more comortable on a public toilet too. I got to the point where i knew where every public toilet was in any place we went! So fun ;)
