Everyone Poops

I just read a pretty good post on I like beer and babies about pooping, and I was inspired to tell a couple of my own pooping stories.

Anyone with a child who is able to walk around on their own knows they are likely to disrupt your potty sessions. Because if you leave the bathroom door closed and locked they will wreak havoc, thus you are forced to leave it open for them to share in your experience.

 The first deuce dropping experience I got to share with the space invader was when she was four.  We got home from a long day of errand running, and this Not the Mama can't poop just anywhere, so I REALLY had to go. I rushed to the back bathroom, dropped drawer and sat down to enjoy the comfort of my own throne..... maybe ten seconds later I was surprised by the SI opening the unlocked door, with my phone in her hand. She seemed to have given no thought to the fact I was on the pot, and held it up and said "your mom is calling".

My two other favorite poo stories are ones of when the Space Invader was trying to poo:

It was later in the evening and the Space Invader had been pumped full of ooey gooey mac n cheese and decided she needed to unload. She was back in the bathroom while the Sarg, his bro in law, and myself were enjoying some TV, when all of the sudden there was a blood curdling hair curling scream from the bathroom like nothing I had heard before, she came flying out of the bathroom screaming and crying, pants and undies still around her ankles (and no wiping had been done yet either) and straight into my lap. Between upset sobs she said there was a spider on her leg when she was going potty. The Sarg got up to check it out... no spider. The SI REFUSED to return to finish her business unaccompanied in case the "spider" returned. After finishing up her supervised poop, she revealed that she didn't think it was a spider after all, but some hair that had fallen on her lap......

My last poo story, which more like a recurring incident: the child likes to wait until it is 0628 (we leave the house by 0630 to be on time) to decide she has to poop....




PS, the Sarg and I finally had our wedding, and it was GLORIOUS
