Old enough to know better

Okay so I am keeping my little nephew who will be 4 in October because his mom, dad, and 15 year old brother went on a crusie. There is exactly 10 months apart from my little nephew and my little boy.

So anyways he gets to my house yesterday evening and things are going great the boys eat and decided they want to go play outside til dark. I have no problem with this at all. So at dark I call the boys in so I can give them baths and lay them down to watch a little tv before I put them to bed. So I walk in after the boys and can't help to smell an over powering poop smell. My first thought was someone stepped in dog poop. So naturally I look at my shoes first then tell the boys to show me the bottom of their shoes. Nothing, but geez the smell is still so powerful then I notice on the floor there is a little terd. I thought maybe one of the boys stepped in it and it just came off there shoe.

So I go on and get the boys bath water running and still that smell is so strong. So I call both boys in there and notice that the smell gets even worse. Then as the boys are taking their clothes off to get in the bathtub I notice my little nephew is filthy from the waste down. Then when I turn him around to look at the back of his legs I notice it! Holy cow he crapped on himself and kept playing like it was nothing.

Now let me remind you that this kid is almost 4 and has been pottied trained from a year. Now as I mom and human being I understand that accidents happen. However, this was no accident! His pants are completely full and it was running everwhere from him sitting and jumping on the trampoline with it. It is one thing for a kid his age to do the do a little then realize oh crap this isn't a false alarm I got to go. I can even understand if his little stomach would have been tore up, but there again you could tell the difference by the poop. This was I should have came inside and went to the potty but I didn't want to so I took care of it in my pants things.

When my little boy saw it he was disgusted...lol. He told his little cousin that was gross and you don't go to the bathroom in your pants. This is even funnier, then he proceeds to say, "Did I go to the bathroom in my pants, noooo, I go to the potty."

Okay as mean as it sounded I had to take him outside to spray him off with the water hose because it was everywhere. When I say everywhere I mean from the middle of his back to down to his feet! Now I am not exaggerating about this one bit. I had already ran the bath water so putting him in the shower was not an option. If I would have put him in a sink we would have had a bigger mess than we already have.

So naturally while I was spraying him and his clothes off with the water hose I asked him why and didn't go to the potty and if his belly had hurt. This kid has the nerve to tell me "No it didn't and I didn't want to use the potty and I had to go poopoo." I am like wow. So I gave him the lecture that he was almost 4 and he was a big boy and he need to use the potty if he needed to do his business.

I can just imagine what is in store for me until Sunday if this happened just a few hours after I got him.
