The Incident of the Poop on the Rug
It was after bath. There were twins running around, naked. I looked at one; the other pooped on the rug. It happened in a turn of the head with no warning. I cleaned up the poop and thought “He just pooped so we are safe with him for a while; I’ll diaper the girl first since she is now a greater poop risk.”
It’s a good thing I don’t work as an actuary. While I was diapering her he squatted next to me, looked at me, and pooped again. On the rug. Then he stepped in it and tracked it all over the rug.
I thought “He just pooped so we are safe with him for a while. I can clean this up before I diaper him.” I am a slow learner. While I was cleaning that up, guess what he did. Come on. Guess.
You’re close. He pooped, but it wasn’t on the rug this time. It was on the hardwood floor. The rug is now rolled up and in the closet until we rent a steam cleaner. Potty training is so much fun.
Stumble it!

Never underestimate how much poop can come out of a little package. I promise you, once they get the hang of it, every little bit of potty training stress seems worth it!

This story made me laugh out loud at work and then brought back very vivid memories of my twin poop story. We have one that naps and one that doesn’t. The one that doesn’t decided for awhile that the best way to get mommy to come back to my room and take me downstairs so I don’t have to take a nap was to take off all my clothes. When I went back up to get him (because he was fussing very loud), I found a naked boy with poop all over his wall, floor (carpeted, no less), door, feet, etc. The scene when I walked in would have made me cry or mad, but I was laughing too hard. Wish I had a picture of that exact moment when I opened the door to discover that!
