Poop is Funny...Apparently.

I decided to venture outside with Trent today because the poor kid has been cooped up in the house for a week! We were going to go back to gymnastics today but we found out that the flu is still going around the group of kids in his class; so, I reluctantly decided to keep him home today. We've gone on a few errands this last week but he hasn't had the chance to really go anywhere and run around.

So, I looked outside and it looked bright and sunny (turns out, looks can be deceiving because it was freezing)! I threw some shoes and a sweatshirt on him, grabbed a big garbage bag and decided to pick up the dog poo while Trent played outside. I am very embarrassed to admit that with the snow that's been on the ground, we haven't picked up the dog poop in FOREVER! Now that the snow has melted, I decided that today was as good a day as any to roam the yard and pick up old logs.

Trent ran around the back half of the acre for a while but then decided to investigate the situation and see what it was that I was putting into that big trash bag. He approached very slowly and with a mischievous look in his eyes. He then saw what I was putting into the scooper and he began to scream manically, "Poop! Poop!" over and over and over. I couldn't help but laugh at the little man, but he cracked me up. What was even more funny was that he began to trail me on the grass, point and laugh hysterically every time he saw a dog poo. Needless to say, I had a great second pair of eyes today.

I don't know what it is with my child or why he thinks poop is such a laughing matter but he does! Although I don't get his fascination with all things gross, I am grateful to have such a happy little man who takes pleasure in the simple things in life like poo!
