Pax knows the meaning of Uh-Oh and will generally say it when something is wrong. For example, the other day, he dropped a toy and said Uh-Oh. Other times, he will say this when something really isn't wrong. So, it's kind of like the boy who cried wolf situation where we're really not too concerned that something has gone awry when he says it. This brings me to last weekend...
Alan and I both had food poisoning so we were pretty much dead to the world all of Saturday. We laid on the couch as Paxton played with his toys in the living room. At one point, Paxton started saying Uh-Oh, Uh-Oh. We brushed it off. He then said it again and again. By now I am beginning to think maybe something really is Uh-Oh worthy, so I peeled myself off the couch and went over to see what was up. This kid wasn't crying wolf this time...something really had happened! He had his hand down the back of his diaper and number 2 was coming out of it up his back. Uh-Oh indeed! The next 30 minutes were occupied by scrubbing, bathing, and a load of laundry.
Maybe next time we'll listen and respond more quickly. Lesson learned.
