Incase you are wondering what to do if you are at a park and the bathrooms are locked and your 4yo says "I gotta poop!", just ask mine and he will be more than glad to share :)  While at the park one day this situation arose, knowing I would never make it to a store (nowhere close bytheway) before my 4yo went in his pants, I decided to show him how you "go" when you're hiking. 

We quickly scouted out the surrounding woods and found a small tree with a low hanging branch, told him to pull down his pants, hang on the branch and poop in the small hole I dug with a stick.  Boom...he's done, he's proud, he's cool, poop buried!  20 minutes later a maintenance person shows up...guess what we have to share!!!  You got it "Hey, I just pooped over there in the woods!"  Red faces on Mommy and Grandma (who was with us during this adventure) and laughs like "boy you are too cute, where do you come up with this stuff".  Mr. Maintenance Person seems none the wiser and we go about our business.

Today, while eating lunch at Panera (before you think it...no we didn't bury poop there), again with Grandma, we had another incident.  The boys are doing great, we are all finished with lunch (which we enjoyed on the patio) and they are happily running from one end of the patio to the other while me and Grandma talk.  Everything gets quiet and you know something is missing in the picture.  Look around and spot 4yo at one end of patio and turn to other end (where the door enters the patio...surrounded by lots of inside seating mind you) and instead of seeing what I thought I would I see butt cheeks!!  Pause, sinking in, and oooooohhhhhhh...don't do that 3yo, you can't do that (running as fast as my terribly embarassed body can move).  To late, he's proud, I am yet again red, Grandma is red, all inside are laughing.  Mommy and Grandma hide identity as much as possible, one brother congratulates another and 3yo is very proud!

 Lesson here: I have no idea, the goal is clean and dry underwear right!  I guess that was accomplished!
