Poop is Funny!

As parents you deal with poop, some days none, some days a little, and some days an elephant load. As a parent poop seems to be noteworthy, even conversation worthy at times. During potty training Layton, a friend told a story about their grown son holding a sign up at the airport to greet his grandfather "poop is funny"

"Poop is funny" has gotten me through many, many, many, many trying bathroom accidents with Layton. If I was frustrated with the mess, accidents, or him not pooping in the toliet I would recite, "poop is funny, poop is funny, poop is funny", guess what IT IS!

 Fast forward to Julia. My dear sweet stripperella! She has recently learned to remove her pants, next the diaper and run around and giggle! A phase every child goes through. Today, I was loading the dishwasher after lunch, Layton was quietly playing cars, and Julia starts crying. Oddly enough, Julia doesn't cry unless something is REALLY wrong or Layton has taken her toy....my mind was thinking, Layton was "borrowing" her toy. She kept crying, nope it wasn't Layton, she hadn't fallen, upon further investigation....wait for it........


Yes, she had pooped. Not only pooped but tried to remove her jeans and diaper, poop started to streak down her leg and she was over it..done..started crying..wouldn't move...we had to put down a towel to lay her on then proceed to clean her..I learned four valuable lessons.

1. Julia doesn't like messes.
2. Julia stopped to prevent spreading the mess.
3. Julia will be ready to potty train soon.
4. Poop is still funny. Or as Evan pointed out, "until you have sewer problems"
