A Tale of Poop
Well, we are beginning to enter the pre-potty stage. Though diapers have often afforded some icky and funny stories, we have gotten a glimpse of what life will be like with poop without diapers. It is a little scary.
Tonight Ella managed to take off both her diaper and her pants. Sounds harmless...but the diaper was full of, well, crap. So, she managed to get it all over her legs in the course of pushing the diaper down to her ankles. So, I, who is on the phone long distance with Tio Nathan, decide it is the perfect opportunity to try her new potty out. So, I set her on it (I am not expecting anything, just using the teachable moment)and quickly trash her diaper and come back to find that in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, she has gotten off the potty and has oviously sat down on a few different surfaces before finding that squatting is the best option of the moment. How do I know she has tried a few different places to sit? I just need to follow the trail of..well, you know. Needless to say, I gave an exclamation of horror, got off the phone, and proceeded to try to clean off my kid and the various surfaces where she has left her mark. It is pretty funny now, but only because it wasn't THAT dirty...
Oh, what will the future hold?!

more poop :)
Been there, done that! Ah the joys of potty training! Suzanne has given us many a story to tell - she will be horrified at her rehersal dinner when these stories come out - Ask Ellen about the couch up the nose being retold the night before her wedding! Love those stories!
