Week 6: Journal 4copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3wu0y7JOl
Okay, I haven't been doing a good job at sacrificing my spare time. I was playing New Leaf in between classes this morning and I've been spending the past hour or so playing Mario Maker. Look, I'm not perfect, okay? I never said I was perfect.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1YROjCI68
So yesterday, Bunny's other friend Savannah joined her and Kaitlyn at the Bloomfield's house. I also met Savannah's mother for the first time at the pickup, though I have a feeling she isn't going to treat me as kindly and equally as Crystal and Daniel. She didn't say anything rude, but she had this look on her face that said: "Oh wonderful, another stupid kid couldn't keep his penis in his pants" as I was shaking her hand. I also offered to drive Savannah over to the Bloomfield's, but she said: "Oh no, that's fine" with a pretty blank tone of voice. Yeah, I don't think this woman likes me. copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡItmTyJoPFN
Bunny also wanted to stop at the apartment so she could grab her Anna, Elsa, and Olaf dolls. Part of me really wanted to say no because it would take away time from getting ready, but a bigger part of me wanted to keep my little girl happy. I wasn't late, thank God, but I had almost no time to say Hi to Crystal and I practically had to sprint around the house as I returned home to get ready. I think I'm going to start putting my uniform on each time before I pick Bunny up.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQR5lSEsBs
Anyway, Bunny had another great day with her friends and I heard almost every last bit of it this morning. More Barbie games, creating Frozen adventures with their dolls (in these adventures, Elsa is one of identical triplets, the triplets being Kaitlyn and Savannah's Elsa dolls), playing tag outside, and watching Netflix before bed. A fun and wonderful day.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTuLKi5m0b
And speaking of fun and wonderful days, tonight is my night off! Which means plenty of Bunny time! Though I wonder if Bunny will be disappointed that she doesn't get to go to Kaitlyn's house today. Well...let's see...copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJFSDdB12h
Anyway, I've been wanting to write about some more cute Bunny memories. A couple actually came to my mind the other day.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB7HHszlVb
The first cute memory happened when Bunny was two. At the time, I had just finished potty training Bunny. Like I was no longer buying diapers for anything. Not even to go to sleep (we used Pull-ups for that). But she still had accidents every now and then and there's one accident that I can't help but smile every time I think of.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI4iuPAzbB
I had just picked Bunny up from daycare and was driving her home. Bunny at first was just smiling happily in the backseat, but as soon as we pulled up to a stoplight, she got a strange look on her face.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGkryYEaZH
Bunny: "Daddy, I have to go poopy!"copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOjzv125nX
Oh crap.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbGmubb5Lm
There was a gas station not far away, but the stoplight was taking so freaking long that I became extremely impatient. And all the traffic wasn't really helping.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw31YCZCNZ
Bunny (kicking her legs): "DADDY, I HAVE TO GO POOPY!"copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeNEOjFRp2
Me: "We're almost there, Baby! Just relax!"copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGev3IGeNs
Yeah, telling a two year old to relax when she really needed to use the bathroom. That's pretty much impossible.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuZEvXhvA4
After the light finally let me go, I drove as fast as I could to get to the gas station, but the traffic made that extremely hard. Bunny was squirming by the time we were close to the gas station.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUjiz7CeY1
"POOOOOPYYY!!"copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNIujLdZ00
As I pulled into a parking spot, Bunny suddenly stopped squirming. And then I heard this:copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBurg0oxwY
"Daddy, I went poopy."copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1TUks2WH1
Me: "Oh no."copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXPHs8tF8t
I quickly jumped out of the car and went and took a look. copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA5b1lbqSI
Me: "Oh Jesus."copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡouJip3Ls0s
What a freaking mess. The poop had leaked out the back of Bunny's pants and had gotten all over the back of her shirt, pants, and car seat. I just stared for a moment in a daze. Then I turned around and noticed two people watching me.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYqiGSr9yz
One of the people said: "Is everything alright there?"copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf9Iqb3CBW
Me: "Everything's fine. Just...just a little accident."copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0q3iP63h6
The people smiled and kept on walking. I just shook my head and thought for a moment on what the hell I needed to do. Maybe I should've called "The Wolf." (Heh heh)copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL5W4LOvVn
Thankfully there was some wipes in the glove compartment that I used to clean up Bunny as best as I could (in other words, not that well). There was also a towel in the backseat that I had Bunny sit on while we drove home. As soon as we got home, I threw Bunny in the bathtub. She was a poopy mess.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yCdg3pjF0
I also threw Bunny's shirt and pants (and the towel) in the washer and I ended up washing them about three times. I threw her underwear in the garbage. There was no way I could save them.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ0G2jw9nN
I also ended up spending about thirty minutes washing Bunny's car seat. That wasn't fun. Especially since the poop had started to dry by then and became ten times harder to get off. God, so much poop to deal with that day.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTzmPD8E83
I was a little frustrated by the whole thing at first, but I quickly got over it as me and Bunny (now fully clean) snuggled on the couch together immediately after I finished cleaning the car seat. Thank God I didn't have to work that day. That would have been a nightmare.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cBEqRHPbm
So yeah, as frustrating as this whole thing was, I now just laugh when I think about it. It really was adorable. Definitely something I plan on sharing during Bunny's wedding. She is so going to hate me that day.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrmQ8p9Eyw
The next story happened when Bunny was four. And it's about another potty accident. Only this one was a little different.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPp1bfEjTM
Me and Bunny were sitting together at church when Bunny suddenly tapped my shoulder. I looked down and she said: "Daddy, I have to go potty."copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUZYzpQgf2
I took Bunny by the hand and we walked over to the bathrooms. The bathrooms at the church were those ones that only had one toilet and only one person could use at a time. The ones they really need to stop putting in public places. Look, if you're really that ashamed of people seeing you in stalls, just hold it till you get home. It's that simple.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5t0VCp5gY
Anyway, the men's bathroom was being used, so that meant Bunny had to go by herself in the women's. Bunny was fully capable of using the toilet by herself, but she just became nervous to go by herself in public. She was way too scared at first, but I quickly gave her a hug and kiss and said: "It's okay, Baby. I'm right here." So Bunny slowly turned around and walked to the women's restroom.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIN2KZhoja
And it was also being used.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG5aFFAvWQ
Me: "Damn it, damn it, damn it."copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAV1AREZWU
Bunny (clutching herself and hopping up and down): "Daddy, I have to pee!"copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzDLCnLTM5
I went into total panic mode and started knocking on the men's restroom door. The person inside yelled something like: "I'll be out in a minute!" Yeah, I don't think I had a minute.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XLa8rQJWM
Sure enough, Bunny very soon stopped hopping up and down. Her eyes suddenly became wide and she put her hands over her mouth. After a few more seconds, a liquid dripped down to the bottom of her leg.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡzumuwWmaVi
Uh oh.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TSJFu6qoT
Bunny's face turned completely red and she started crying. I put my arms around and tried to comfort her (singing both "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?" and "Let It Go"), but she wouldn't stop crying. She was so ashamed.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtRhE0JuJF
Bunny (while crying): "Daddy, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjaCOHzaSv
Me (hugging and kissing her): "It's okay, Baby. It's okay."copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYplH4QOve
The guy in the men's restroom ended up walking out a few seconds later. I think he apologized, I don't know. I was focused on grabbing paper towels from the restroom. I wiped down Bunny's legs as best as I could (her dress wasn't at all ruined by the incident, thank God) and then wiped off the floor (there was a small puddle). We ended up having to take off from church earlier than usual because I couldn't just leave Bunny like this.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Iyimy1Ri
Bunny kept on crying on the whole ride back to the house and was still very upset a while after we got back home. She kept on saying: "Daddy, I'm sorry I peed myself" with the saddest and most embarrassed look on her face. No matter how many times I said: "It's okay" it didn't help her feel better. I didn't think an accident would upset a four year old this much. It was like trying to comfort a teenager who just embarrassed herself in front of a boy she liked.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8BSKqAkAs
So I got another idea. Something that never fails to get that beautiful smile back on her face.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3rep8jfWO
I gave her a little tickle. No, I gave her a big tickle. A REALLY big tickle. copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEPcc8zLar
Within about a second, Bunny's smile was back. She started laughing like crazy and we got into a huge tickle fight on the couch. We soon calmed down and Bunny said: "Daddy, I'm hungry." The incident at church was never brought up again. That is, until right now.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RzGKk6kEG
Bottom line, tickle fights are the answer to every problem. Hopefully it comes in handy after her first breakup in the future. Am I a horrible person for saying that?copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuKeI9n2oj
Once again, another memory I can't help but smile when I think of. I'll definitely write about more in the future. Though I'll try my hardest to leave out bodily fluids next time.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSYF5bOFWY
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to my night with my little Bunny. I can't wait to create even more cute memories.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71QGHA0OVF
I feel like eating a Pop-Tart right now.copyright protection167ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ9eXSolUM
