Poop Happens A Lot In this House

One of the nice things about having my parents around is that I can actually do things during nap time that don't require me being in the house with the kids. Instead of only doing housework, homework, working out on the elliptical, or catching up on my DVR, I am able to go for a run or go to the store alone! SO NICE! Being an only child, I really CRAVE some time alone. I just NEED to be by myself sometimes. I've always been that way.
Today, I needed to go to the commissary so I put the boys down for their nap and took off. The toddler waits until a pull up is put on him and then does his dirty deed. I usually know that he needs to be changed because he doesn't settle down to sleep right away. I go in, clean him up, either put underroos back on or a fresh pull up on and he zonks out. But I didn't wait around today. I turned the monitor on for my mom and told her that the baby would cry it out and then settle down. Apparently, the monitor got quiet but she could still hear the baby.
It should be noted, that the boys now share a room. My parents are in the third bedroom and since my dad will be staying on to watch the boys for me while I do my student teaching this spring, we moved the baby in with the toddler. The cruise was warm up for room sharing.
Anyway, back to today. My mom went up to check on them and could hear someone bouncing.
She went in and discovered the toddler standing up, laughing in the crib with the baby sitting up, next to him, laughing. WITH POOP ALL OVER THE FLOOR! He'd turned off the monitor transmitter (which I'd "hid" underneath the crib to try to prevent this from happening).
The toddler had taken off his pull up and left several deposits between the daybed and the crib.
My mom got the toddler cleaned up and into bed (with no pants or pull up on) and the baby fell asleep in her arms downstairs.
Tonight, I have already been in at least six times to settle the toddler down. I've already had to pull the toddler out of the crib. I've taken out all the toys that tempt him. The baby is asleep but the toddler doesn't want to settle. I've left the light on low (thank heavens for dimmers) because he keeps getting up to turn on the light and look at the baby. I've told him that the baby will be there when he gets up just like he has been during nap time (well at least he was yesterday since there wasn't a poop problem).
The little incident meant that the toddler didn't go down until almost 3 pm and slept until 5pm. So we didn't go to the kiddy gym which meant that he didn't run around enough to wear him out. It's a domino effect. It's now almost 10:30 and he's just settled down about 20 minutes ago. I know it comes from him just not being tired enough to fall asleep right away. But I just can't handle him being up that late. I need the quiet. He needs the quiet even if he's not asleep. And I just don't believe in children being up that late. Period. But it's a bit self-defeating b/c I am still dealing with it, he isn't quiet, I don't get the quiet, and he is still up this late.
The toddler definitely has a stubborn bone that runs the length of him. When he gets a burr up his bottom, there is no appeasing him. The back to bed method is being used frequently (plus some spankings-I admit it. But we all know I struggle with this method). Fortunately, the baby is so exhausted at night that he's actually sleeping deeply enough to not be woken up with the toddler's antics. Hopefully, a week will be enough to get the toddler settled into this new routine. That's about how long it took before the vacation to get him to fall asleep in his bed again (instead of the floor).
If I accomplish this, does this count as my first miracle? Can I count it towards sainthood? Oh wait, I probably would need to cut down the swearing (see the post below) and not be so judgmental (see the post below) and like other people more (see the post below)!
Anyway, that book is right. Everyone Poops.
