The Inevitable Poop Story

So I’ve been pretty good thus far by refraining from sharing all of our fun and exciting adventures with baby poop here on apAdventures. I figure nobody really thinks poop is all that entertaining, unless it’s your story and it involves you, your baby, your baby’s poop, and the accomplishment that you again managed to not get the poop in your baby’s hair or in your baby’s mouth or in your hair or in your mouth. Those are the stories of celebration and triumph. The high-five stories. But only between you and your baby. And maybe your baby’s other parent. Nobody else really seems to care about these things – I know this because nobody ever sets up for a high-five after I finish the story.

Well readers, the time has come. After 1 year and 8 months, the inevitable poop story is here and bursting at the britches to be shared. I thought it was funny. Paul thought it was funny. And Silas giggled like crazy. So maybe you will enjoy it too. What I’m going to tell you next all happened within a matter of seconds. Maybe 2 or 3. Barely enough time for me to get out the words “Poop!” “Morgan!” “No!” Imagine this scene:

I open the door after a long day at work and my little Silas comes tearing through the kitchen, running top speed and squealing his welcome home call, arms outstretched and face and bare chest slobbery with drool. As darling as the scene is, mid-way through the kitchen in mid-chubby leg step, I am alarmed to see a little truffle-sized turd ball fall out of his diaper. Then another. Then another! Then….Morgan! Out of nowhere the brown dog swoops up and EATS the first turd so fast it barely has a chance to roll after it hits the floor. Meanwhile, Silas is still running towards me and I’m trying to blurt some words out at Paul to make it stop – who is preparing dinner at the stove. Whatever I said worked because Morgan froze…staring intently at turd #2, which had hit the floor and almost rolled into the never-never land of under the fridge. Whew. No poop under the fridge? Check – hi-fives. No poop in hair? Check – hi-fives. No poop in mouth? Well, Morgan’s mouth doesn’t count even though it’s still gross. Check – hi-fives.

    I am procrastinating updating our website, so I was reading yours, and I wanted to send you an e-high5! Good job. And yes, it is a hilarious story. Other parents of toddlers can definitely sympathize with a good poop story.
