Warning: many excrement related and potty-training relevant discussion below. This is the unfortunate
byproduct of finally potty-training the child - so much attention has been paid to her potty trips that she now has, well,
an obsession with crap.
Me: "Katherine, you better make a potty try before we
get in the car."
Katherine: "It's OK Mommy - My poo is staying safe in my butt. It doesn't
need to come out."
3 minutes after strapping her into her car seat:
Katherine: "My poo
is ready to leave my butt now."
Katherine: "Why doesn't the dog use the potty? Ewwww he's
poo-ing in the yard! Let's get some toilet paper and show him how to flush it down the potty!"
Katherine:
"Poo is the Daddy and Pee is the Mommy" (wha?)
Nearly every time she goes potty, one of the following
(sometimes more than one):
"I had a lot of pee! Lots and lots"
"My poo was LOUD this time"
"My poo took a loooooooong time"
"I peed AND I poo'd!"
"My poo is (brown, dark, curly,
smelly, funny looking, etc etc etc"
And of course, since I am a mother and therefore am entitled to absolutely
no privacy whatsoever:
Katherine (pounding on the door of the bathroom): "Mommy! Are you in there? Are
you making a poo? Let me in I want to see what kind!!! Mommmmmeeeee!"
