Kids and Poop 101

Have any of your kids ever done something so disgusting that it makes you want to puke? Or possibly say, "WHAT were you thinking?". Maybe make you wonder if he/she is really your child or was switched at birth? Well all those thing went through my head today when I was getting ready to lay my son down for his nap. I always tell him to go potty before he lays down so I went to go check on him and wipe his buns when I walked in and saw that he had decided that he wanted to use the potty training potty instead of the big one and was trying to clean it out. Hmm...well either that was really sweet of him or just a little boy wanting to make a mess out of poo. So instead of asking me for help cleaning it he decided that he would take care of it himself. When I walked in first off I was hit by an oder strong enough to kill a horse and THEN I saw that he had emptied it into the sink and was trying to wash it down the drain!

Me: "AHHHHH...(sniff sniff, gag, hold breath!) what are you doing?" (breathing through my mouth)

Him: "I just cleanin the potty. I'm making it go down the wittle hole."

Me: "Oh honey, you can't put caca in the sink! You're supposed to dump it in the potty! Why did you think it was ok to put it down the sink?"

Him: "Well the other day it all went down and it was all clean again."

Me: "You did WHAT? (gag, deep breath in through mouth) Honey, when did you do that? People brush their teeth in the sink. That's really gross sweety!"

Him: "I sorry mama! (with a sad little look on his face) Don't be mad at me. Are you mad at me mama?"

Me: "Ohh...sweety, no, I'm not mad at you just...well (gag)...a little disgusted. You're not in trouble, just don't do this again."

Him: "It ok mama, it washable!" (which is his answer for everything!)

So now he is down for a nap and the sink is 110% disinfected! And trying to look on the bright side of things...at least he is over the diaper stage when he used to put his hand down the back of his diaper and fish it all out to make his bum clean again. Now THAT, my friends, was disgusting! I was about to loose it if I had to clean poop scrapes off the wall and/or door again. lol

Oh, the joys of motherhood! Why don't they write these things in the parenting books?

Those are the things that nobody tells you about before you have kids! Ahhh...
