A Trip to the Mall

July 31, 2004 on 9:29 pm | In Main |

Today, we went to the Chandler Mall, which is still the newest and fanciest mall in the area. What made this trip different was that we took Sean wearing his underwear, not his diaper. This is the first day trip outside the house where we took Sean without diapers. And, no accidents! We had to put up with a few false alarms, where Sean said he had to go, and he didn’t end up going. I would much rather have false alarms than to have soiled clothing (we brought a change of clothes just in case). One of the problems we had was that the family restrooms near the food court had a toilet with a seat that was only about 9 inches off the floor, a perfect height for Sean. He wanted to use this toilet, rather than the urinals in the mens room. This was a bit of a problem, since the family rest room typically has a wait to get in. But, we managed.

Sean and Ethan spent quite a bit of time in the soft play area. We knew when it was time to leave the play area when Sean and Ethan were both lying down, resting. Sean wanted to lie down on one of the play pieces, which resulted in other children stepping on him. He would rather lay down there than lie down on the adult seats. Sean did walk with us throughout the mall. Ethan simply rode in the stroller. Overall, it was a fun trip.
