Warning: this story contains direct references to poo.
E1 did a big poo in her potty yesterday. As I bent down to wipe her bum, I could see that it was composed of some small pellet-like poos at the bottom, followed by a huge big cow-patty of a poo sitting on top. In our world, this is a very good thing and deserving of high praise.
Before I had a chance to say anything, E1 piped up, “Mummy, I had a lot of baby poos!” Yes. “And then a big mummy poo!” Yes. I told her it was a fabulous poo.
“And Mummy…” Yes? “The mummy poo is squishing the baby poos, and the baby poos are crying!”
There was a over-analytical part of me that felt I should evaluate this. Why is my daughter assigning such detailed personification to her bowel movements? And what could possibly be the source of this rather disturbing idea of a mother squishing her children? But it was over-ruled by the part of me that was trying desperately not to laugh out loud, stop my shoulders shaking uncontrollably, and thinking, “Just wait until I tell her daddy about this one…!”
Mummy poo. That’s excellent.
Non-parents simply don’t understand just how fascinating poos can be. New parents can quite happily go on at length discussing the assorted colours, textures, volume, consistency and varied aromas. It’s fun to drive non-parents crazy with that. LOL
Let her eat trix berry blue yogurt before poo time…I am sure it will make for very interesting conversation.
Dare I ask why? *bites lip apprehensively* They both eat blueberries regularly with their porridge and blueberries going in makes for blue poo coming out! But what does this yoghurt do?
Gordo, you’re so right! See, we’re even discussing how to change poo colours through diet — and we’re only 3 comments in! Ha ha ha hahaaa!
Try Electric Blue Poo for 2 days!!! I kept waiting for his skin to turn blue!
