What the POOP!!!

Funny little thing happened to me last Saturday. Keith was gone, went to Safford with his dad, and I was on my way home from Congress with the kids. We were almost to our apartment when Raegan said she had to go potty. I told her we were almost home and that she would have to hold it. By the time I got both kids and all our bags up the stairs I had forgotten all about Raegans " condition". Twenty minutes later she mentioned it again and so I ran her to the bathroom only to find that she had already peed her pants. No big deal, I just undressed her and put her in the tub. Then I happened to glance down the hall and see something dark on the floor. I walked over to the log shaped dark spot and yep... POOP was on my floor, I thought, well that's gross and then my heart stop because I remembered Caleb was in the living room on the floor. The whole way into the living room I was praying that he hadn't found anymore of Raegans little treasures and when I turned the corner and looked sure enough he was eating poop pellets. I didn't know what to do so I just jumped up and down shrieking for a few seconds and then instinctively stuck my finger in his mouth and scraped it out. So now he had poop smeared in his mouth and I had it all over my finger. I washed my hands, stuck him in the tub, and got a washcloth with baby toothpaste on it and scrubbed the inside of his mouth. The washcloth came out clean, I think we all know what that means.....Finally I had both kids out of the tub, I got Caleb in pj's and put him to bed while Raegan waited in the living room. When I got back to get her ready for bed she had peed on the floor again... What I can't figure out is how the poop got on the floor when she was wearing pants and how did I miss it. I'm beginning to understand why people medicate themselves.
