The Orange Chair Incident!

So last week on Monday my mom had to have some tests done which I was driving her to so we planned on hitting up the mall first and then I would take her from there. Let me start off by saying that last Monday was my last day home with Nicoletta before I started work. I kept saying to John (who was working from home that day) that she was trying to make our last day together memorable. Why you might ask.....well because we started the day by pooping out our diaper onto our cute little jean skirt requiring me to have to go up and change her into a completely different outfit right as we were getting ready to leave.

SO my mom and I go to the mall and that's when it happened.......

our "orange chair incident"

We are walking around the mall popping in and out of stores. We decide to walk into the Limited (they were having a big sale so we were interested) while in there Nicoletta decided that she was hungry. So I sit on this lovely orange upholstered chair (see picture for a visual, the style of the chair was pretty much exactly like this however please imagine in a bright orange color)

which was conveniently located near the dressing rooms toward the back of the store. Anyhow, she was happy and my mother was running about the store finding things and bringing them over to me for my opinion. I get done feeding her and burping her and she's happily sitting on my lap while Grandma is showing her clothes asking for our opinion. In the most un-lady like fashion I hear my sweet little girl let out a huge fart which I can tell is really a little more than just a fart. Then all of a sudden I feel a warm sensation on my lap. I look up with a deer in headlights look to my mother and say, "oh my god I think she just crapped all over me" sure enough I lift Nicoletta up in the sitting position and there to my dismay is poop all over my pants! So naturally my mom and I did what any mom and Grandma would do.....we laughed like hell! So with tears rolling down our cheeks and as my lovely little girl was finishing her um movement. So I pick her up and my mom throws a blanket down on my lap, I wrap her bottom up in it to try and contain the poop! So my mother inquisitively asks "so what should we do?" We ask if they have an employee bathroom we could use, which of course they didn't the closest bathroom was upstairs and down the hall! It was obvious that I was not making it to that bathroom! So the nice girl gives us a handicapped dressing room which was close by and which had a bench in for both of us to get cleaned up. I pick her up again and as my mother is now wiping my pants with baby wipes we happen to notice that there is also POOP ON THE CHAIR! Again we laughed like hell and then in horror I quickly pick her up and waddle my way quickly into the dressing room and leave my mother out in the store with wipes trying to clean the poop off the lovely orange upholstered chair! She managed to clean it up and then after wrestling with the chair cushion for a bit she was able to un-clamp it and flip it over so no one would ever know!

My mother comes to the dressing room where she finds me in my underwear and Nicoletta happy as a clam cooing on this bench! I wound up having to buy a pair of pants so that I could leave the dressing room! I can't remember laughing that hard in awhile. See she really did want to make our last day together memorable!

By the way.....we were back in the Limited a few days later and there was no trace of poop to be found!
