I have to share....and only parents will truly appreciate this one.....my son is on the verge of being fully potty trained.....at home at least. Once we are out of the house and he is in diapers, the poop and pee flow freely. Although wee forgot to change him pout of his big boy undies into a diaper when we went to run errands the other day and after 2 hours of being out, he was still bone dry when we got home....hmmmm. Anyways, I just can't get my boy to poop in the potty. He pees in it like a champ, but poop is a while different ball of, well, poop.

I was setting up the AC in his room yesterday when things got a little too quiet. All parents know what I mean by this. There is a difference between the quiet when one's child is playing and concentrating, and then there is the quiet that sets off our maternal instincts and just screams "TROUBLE!!!!!". Then I hear a "oh no, mama!" so I run into our bedroom and there is my naked son with a log of poop on the floor and poop footprints all around it. Apparently, this was a two logger and he had stepped in one of them.

Seeing as I have morning sickness pretty bad, this induced a far greater desire to vomit than it normally would. I ran him to the potty, had him flush the one solid piece and then proceeded to clean up the footprints......I used and entire can of Spot Shot and it looks like we are gonna have to steam clean anyways. Whatever my child had eaten earlier that day was potently pigmented. Nice. I have always wanted skid marks on my carpet. I still have no idea why my husband and I picked out a light beige carpet......must have been total and complete naivete.....Oh the joys of parenting.....
