A Poop is Worth 1000 MnMs

We've come to the point in time where diapers are yucky.

Disgusting.

Ridiculous.

Absurd.

I don't like diapers!" she moans, as we place one on her at bedtime.

Who knew someone who LOVED diapers could go to hating them in a matter of weeks? And sure, it's great, except while we don't like diapers, we also don't mind peeing on ourselves in our underpants. Okay, that's just partially true. She doesn't like it -- but she still does it.

But, she's getting to the point where she'll tell us when she needs to go. And if not, we take her and she pees.

HOORAY FOR PEE IN THE POTTY!! I don't think I've ever cheered so hard for anyone or anything in my life.

BUT THE POOP.

That's a whole other story.

Now granted, she has gone every other day on her own accord. Well, that and a few pieces of chocolate and loads of fruit. But I'll tell you what. Is there ever a point in time where your child's crap does not take up half of your day.

I think about the poop. I worry about the poop. I ask about the poop.

I'm not too concerned about the poop. Really, I'm not. But I'd just love for there to be something else to think about.

And then, of course, she decides to drop her nap.

There you go.

Any thoughts on making poopy time more enjoyable? I had to read books to her the other day, which I'm happy to do, but HELLO STINK!

Big sister decided to go days and days without pooping after it was determined going in a diaper was awful. Finally, on the advice of her MD, I took away all but 10 oz of dairy/day. This was devestating to Madame Cheese Lover. I explaine the situation. Poops every single day now.

In short, yeah, poop's been a big part of my life lately. The shock never ends that it's SOMEONE ELSE'S!

Oh my god, you just brought back a memory. When I was little I had a terrible constipation problem so pooping was always a traumatic experience, which I suppose is why these memories are still so vivid. My mom would have to spend an hour or more with me on the potty, reading stories,telling jokes, keepimg me company.
Imagine that, an hour or two every time your kid poops!

At least I know diapers get yucky at some point to a toddler...I'm still waiting for that day.

I wish you potty luck...
