Poop

It's amazing how much poop you can tolerate as a parent. Poop on your hands, poop on shoes, poop anywhere and everywhere. Tonight we went out for a little dinner, Italian ice, and time at the very cool church playground. It was while on this very cool playground equipment that Owen declared, "I pooped." At the time, I was paused at the top of a slide, encouraging him to follow me down. He had already pooped today (and is usually a one poop a day kind of guy), so I assumed that he really meant that he pooted. So I calmly explained, "It's okay to poot on the slide." So he follows me down, gleeful all the way. We both climb back up the steps, and I encourage him to race me down the parallel slides, to which to replies, "I pooped again." This time I decide to actually take a peek down the back of the diaper, and lo and behold, there is some poop in there. Unfortunately, I didn't take the time to think my next action through. I encouraged him to go down the slide. Bad, bad idea. Poop no longer contained in the diaper. Or in the shorts even. Poop now dripping onto the shoes. Poop on the mulch. Gotta love it.

Isn't that sort of thing supposed to be good for the environment?

Just think - for thousands of years...before the invention of diapers... kids have been pooping on the playground.

Wow...so I guess it's good Ali won't be going down the church slide for a while yet. :)

Don't worry. I wiped off the slide with wipes. What kind of delinquent church member do you think I am?

I'm so sick of poop. Even tho the potty training is going well, there is still the fear of poop in the underwear which is such a nightmare when pregnant. And potty training the dog on top of that is SUCH a joy I just can't even tell you.
