One woman's journey through life as a mom.
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?
