More Pooping Stories

I know that this blog has many, many stories about my son peeing or pooping in odd places, but here is one more....

Some words you never want to hear come out of your kids mouth when he or she is naked: Poo Poo (coupled with a triumphant look and a hand gesture pointing to another direction).

I was just talking to my mom about holiday stress and about how excited I am with the direction of the sequel to Calculated Puncture when Trent runs out of my room shouting, "Poo poo. Poo poo," as he smiles and points in the direction of my room. On a side-note, I was letting him run around naked before getting him dressed for his first dental appointment.

Reluctantly, I tiptoed into my room, not wanting to step in any warm surprise. Trent runs by me screaming "poo poo" as he points in the direction of my bathroom. I follow the little monster around the corner and find him proudly standing near his "business" and pointing to it excitedly.

I have to give it to him, he did potty near the toilet but seeing as how the door was locked, he couldn't make it there so he did his business as close to it as possible. As I proceeded to clean up the mess (still on the phone with my mom and reciting all of the dirty details), Trent began shouting, "Ew, Ew gross!" That is a little phrase my husband taught him a few weeks ago when Trent was trying to play in the garbage. I found it interesting that Trent was telling me his crap was gross every time I had to pick a log up. Ahh, the joys of child-rearing.

Now, off the the dentist we go....this should be interesting considering Trent's continued fear of strangers. I'll update you all on that later.
