Rainiers Game

Our church got together to go to a Tacoma Rainiers game. Not an ideal place to take a potty training child. Poor Jim and Carrie and their 4 kids along with Bethany and Brad and their 4 kids were the constant victims of Jairus' needs. I wasn't sure what to do, make him wait and risk him peeing or worse POOPING his pants, so about a dozen times last night, they had to get up so we could pass them and run to the bathroom. Once we get there, another problem arises, he is afraid of public bathrooms. By the time it is our turn to go, he is protesting, "no potty, no pee." I am sure the other mothers think I am terrible. Finally with much struggling, he goes. Then I find myself walking around the stadium with him
because I don't want to force our Pastor and his
family out of their seats, yet again only to have
Jairus tell me he has to go 30 seconds later.
Thankfully, these families have gone through this
beforeand were very gracious to Jairus' whims. By the time the fireworks came around, I was ready to go. Jairus hadn't pooped at all yesterday, and I was nervous it would come on him so fast he would just let it go. The fireworks dispay was awesome, I was really impressed. However, don't let my pitures be the judge, I didn't capture the best part of them. All in all it was a great time, and I am eager to see Jairus enjoy watching a game when he is bigger.
