The Ball Pit Incident

Katelynn received a ball pit for her first birthday in September. I do not know what we would do without the "ball pit", we keep it in the basement and she plays in it almost every night, she just loves it. The ball pit had to be moved upstairs to Katelynn's bedroom when it was time for the Christmas tree to come out of hiding for the holiday season. We thought the best place for it would be in her room for awhile so she could play with it before bedtime. A couple of Friday nights ago Dan, Katelynn, and I were doing the family thing and hanging out in her room. We noticed that she had a little diaper rash going on and decided that it would be good to let her run around without a diaper on for a little while (Dan does not let this happen often because he hates it when she pees on the carpet anywhere in the house). Everything was going good and Katelynn was a happy little camper running around without a diaper and playing in her room, she decided it was time to climb into the ball pit and rumble with the balls. All of the sudden I hear a couple of things, something coming from her area and something possibly outside, so I ask Dan if he heard that and he said "just the neighbor bringing up their trash can", but I knew better. I went and took a closer look at Katelynn in her ball pit because she was still sitting so still and yes, she pee'd in the ball pit, not a trickle, a full drainage of the bladder. Dan freaked out of course and couldn't believe it. Into the tub Katelynn went and into the garage the ball pit went. Dan grumbled the entire night about having to wash out the ball pit on his Friday night. Above is the picture of each ball that I washed by hand in the sink. The ball pit is now back in Katelynn's room and she is no longer aloud per Daddy to play in it without a diaper on!
