I will never forget a day that now seems so long ago, a day that will always been in stored in my memory bank, a day that still makes me chuckle… “The Day of Poop…”And this is how it went…I grabbed the kids and ran inside the health food market, trying to avoid the rain, just barely making it before the sky let the dam open. Inside I pushed Toby is his stroller with his carseat attached. He was around 2 months and usually such a good little baby. Ty rode in the front seat of the stroller with A trotting alongside. As soon as we got to the “bin” section and I was browsing through the assorted organic nuts, cereals, and grains Toby started in on the most horrible scream and continued to keep the blood curling howl up for several minutes regardless of what I did. I tried to hurry and grab the few things I needed for supper that night and head out of the store. Meanwhile, he had attracted quite the attention and a lady came over to “help” me by seeing what the matter was with the screaming baby. As soon as she laid eyes on him, he forced out quite a large gush of poop which squirted all the way up his back and into his hair. (For those of you who are squeamish, I apologize but this is quite normal for little babies and is partly due to them laying on their back, it helps give extra force - lol) At this moment I pretty much ran for the cash out and couldn’t wait to get into the car and change him.So at the register the sweet girl gave Ty and A balloons trying to cheer up the situation. We rushed to the car where I decided just to head home and clean Toby up realizing this was going to require a full bath.

Once we got home I stuck Toby in the baby bath while Ty and A were playing with their balloons. I reminded A to be careful with them and not get them near the fan. After cleaning Toby up, Ty announced he needed to go potty. So I brought him into the bathroom and sat with him as HE went poop. All of a sudden I heard a wretched noise and went running out to the playroom leaving Ty in the bathroom. A had gotten the balloon stuck in the fan and the string was winding around the motor. I quickly shut the fan off and turned around to see Ty walking out to me. “Mummy I went potty!” as he handed me….

That’s right… Poop!
