At least we were close to home.

It finally happened. I have been fearing this situation and thankfully we were heading in the backyard as it happened....
I have noticed that when Athena gets nervous or shy she either lifts up her shirt or sticks her hands down the back of her diaper. The shirt thing, while revealing, is fine. The diaper is another story. I am always worried that one day she is going to have a poop diaper when she sticks her hands in there.
Today was the day. We had gone to the library and Harold was coming over to fix our faucets. I let her walk home. When we turned the corner, Harold was waiting for us. I was standing there talking to him with somewhat of an eye on Athena. I could tell she was being shy. We were headed inside so I looked at Athena and she had her hand out. There it was... At first I thought it might be the nut bar I had just given her on the way home. But then thought that was strange because she finished it. Then I knew what it was. I told Harold to go ahead inside... I had a mess to clean up. I didn't tell him what it was but I think he knew. It was all over her hand and the back of her pants and her shirt. I got the big stuff off her hand with the hose. Then we headed inside. I kept telling her that she can not stick her hand in her diaper. She kept saying, "Paw-pooh." She was pretty good about not touching anything (except for trying to rub her eye and putting her hand on my shoulder for balance when I was taking off her pants). I decided to strip her and put her in the bath. Bad thing was that Harold had turned off the hot water to fix the sink. She kept saying, "Cooooollllddd!" Poor girl.
