addendum:
After I commented on this post, my daughter proceeded yesterday to not ONCE, but TWICE remove her own poppy diaper and smear it all over my house.
You were sending her ideas weren’t you?

All I can say is AMEN! You captured the role of poop in a mom’s life with amazing accuracy. You are brave too. Not every woman is big enough to admit she pooped while giving birth. (I did too by the way).

Who knew the “poop” post would be such a hit? Just look at all these comments! I think this piece should be submitted to a Parents magazine asap, Too funny! xoxo-Noelle

Hey Sa
The other day, Grace had done her daily HUGE poop (such a small bum, such a large poop).
Anyway, we were downstairs and she had gone on the potty.
I took the removable potty bowl out and I was going up the stairs to empty it.
I caught my toe on one of the stairs and started to trip.
In an instant, I imagined the poop flying at me and hitting my shirt, or bouncing down the stairs or (what’s worse) catching it in my hand.
Lucky for my my years of waitressing skills brought me cat-like reflexes and no poop spilled. I did, however; get pee on me.

God I so don’t miss those days….taking it out of the diaper, smearing it all over the crib and quite possibly eating it. How fun! Then I too had to deal with about a week of both my boy and my dog pooping on the rugs…so not ready for Jake to be potty trained:)

how i wish you lived closer!!!!
i am still dealing w/poop from my 4 1/2 who doesn’t want to stop playing (or swimming) to go poop. and now my 3 yr old who thinks he can only poop in a diaper. he knows when he has to go b/c he asks for a diaper. when he is done he asks me to change his diaper.
today i refused to give him a diaper so what happened? he pooped in his ‘unnawear’ so had to throw them away.
maybe one day they will both be fine w/pooping on their own. but i am sure i would miss it then!! LOL!

I just love you and your blog. Imagine my horror of floating poop in the golf club kiddie pool and telling golf club that my charge is responsible. Watching them drain the pool, sanitize, refill it and explaining to my charge of why it isn’t good to poop in the pool. I’m in the second generation of a poop filled world…

Oh my gosh! You are SO right and SO funny! I have a preschool/childcare program in my home. My husband happened to be home on a preschool day once, and after hearing me with the kids all day, he told me I should rename my preschool Pooh Pooh Palace!
I love reading your blog and seeing your beautiful photography!
Thanks for starting my day with a good laugh!
