Tales from the poop files
For some reason when you become a parent, particularly a mom, poop becomes a major topic of conversation. From how often a day your kid is going to what color and consistency, there is no shame in the poop talkin’ game! Moms have a ton of questions about newborn poop, breast milk poop, formula poop, my-kid-just-started-solids poop, toddler poop and that’s as far as I’ve come at this point with the inquiries. Now I’m at or pretty darn close to the potty teaching stage. I imagine there is a lot more conversation on poop to be had in my future. In the mean time, let me share a funny tale with you.
Yesterday morning, my 2 year old son tells me he wants to go swimming. I’m thrilled. It’s scorching outside and he needs to practice his swimming. So, I slather him up in sunscreen and we get changed into our swimsuits (or baby soups as my son refers to them). We go in the backyard, I open the pool gate and he runs to the pool steps. Next thing I know he’s saying with big enthusiasm “doooooodie” and jumps into the pool, as these strange little pieces start floating up to the top. Ewww! My kid just pooped in the pool. So, I take him out, rip off his swim diaper and hose off his butt. Then he goes running. He squatted in like 6 different places around my backyard and took a dump in each spot. Nice. I was picking up after my son like he’s a dog. It was quite the scene. Me with paper towels, a garbage bag and a hose….hosing off the deck and my son’s butt every time he ran by.
Do you have any funny poop stories to share?
When Ashley was about 2 1/2 she had some fun. She wasin a toddler bed and should have been takinga nap....Well I went to check on her, when I walked in her door it stank. I asked her is she poopied she said yes so I went to change her pull up and it was clean.....I asked her again And again she said yes....I asked her well where is it then...She lookedme dead in the eyes and said "it's in the drawer" I went over and opened up the bottom drawer and there it was shehad emptied all her clothing out sat on theedge and pooped then closedthe drawer! I started to laugh so hard I could not breath! That was all I could do was laugh!
What I have to look forward to, eh?
And now that Nicole is totally potty trained, she is obsessed with poop and poopie art. She will poop and tell me that "it looks like an aligator" or whatever else is the art of the day. She also ALWAYS blows her poopie a kiss before flushing it
Nicole is also obsessed with gas-passing... she will say, "mommy, did you hear that??" and laugh... and then say, "I just had a little hart" (she can't really say 'f' yet). I hope this wears off before the prom...
I so needed a good laugh today.
Deana... Andy always had those horrendous exersaucer poops as well... I don't know what it is about the exersaucer, but it inspires som bodily functions!
Andy has yet to poop anywhere without his diaper on, however he can get that thing off in a heartbeat when he wants to!!!! He loves to point, aim and fire and pee all over stuff. UGH! Its so funny but still, LOL
I give the boys a bath together since it makes every thing so much easier! Well, just before I had Logan was giving them a bath and trying to get them all settled down and into their pajamas. I got Brandon out of the bath and was drying him off when I smelt something. I asked him if he had farted and he said no, so I let it go at that. I finished getting him dressed and Logan peeked his head out of the bath tub. Brandon went over to the bath tub and all I heard was Brandon say "mom" and then do his normal sniffing sound when he smells something. I walked over to the bath tub, and there Logan was trying to push the evidence down the drain before I could see it! I had to laugh because it was funny.
Another time, Logan went down for a nap in just his diaper, which is fine. Well, it wasn't fine when he got up from his "nap," and I use that term lightly because he never did nap that day. Tommy opened the door and all I heard was "mom, you need to start the bath water." I go into the bedroom, and there is Logan in his crib but naked with poop all over the crib, his sheet and himself! I managed to get him all cleaned in the bath tub, only to have to rewash him because Brandon jumped in and then proceeded to pee on him!
We don’t really have any funny ones, although N did shoot us each once as a newborn. Once was enough. A got B with a nice little stream after his bath today, too.
