Okay, so today I think I have done the singularly grossest thing I've had to do since I became a mother. I was giving Emma a bath, and I walk into my room to find her clothes(my room and the bathroom are connected). Well, I walk back into the bathroom to find a little surprise in the bathtub! Yep, today Emma pooped for the first(and hopefully last) time in the bathtub! It was disgusting! I didn't know how else to clean it up, but to pick it up with my hands ( with gloves of coarse!) The whole time I was gagging so bad! And I am not a queasy person! I'm just glad I hadn't eaten breakfast yet, because if I had, poop would not be the only thing I had to clean out of the bathtub. So, maybe I'm overreacting, but I would challenge anyone to come up with something worse!

Hailey has had the runs in the tub that was gross. I pulled her out and put her in my shower threw all her tub toys away and then had to clean it all up. IT sucked bad. Then a few weeks later she did it again. THats why we get new bath toys every so often adn I love to put them in the dishwasher to clean them quite often! However once poop is involved the garbage is the only place to take them! LOL
I had the same thing happen as Katie. Isaac had the case of the runs in the tub too. It was awful, toys are no longer with us and I sprayed the whole tub with bleach after scrubbing it down and luckily only having to spray it down the drain. So yes I would say that your funk trumps mine. To pick it up, is just AWFUL!
Aliya did that once, but she didn't like having that float next to her in the water either, so that was the last time she did it. We actually used a dustpan to get it out, and that worked well, but it was still gross. I can think of worse though. My friend up here in Wyoming was just telling me the other day about her daughter (who's potty-trainig) pooping her pants. Well, she was in her room playing, so my friend didn't know until a little bit after the fact. Let's just say that when she did come in, her 2-year old was COVERED in it... she had been rubbing it all over her body like lotion! YUCK!!!!!
Okay, Hilary, that IS pretty gross! Emma didn't seem to mind it floating around her, and I was just praying that she didn't eat it! She still has a tendency to put the unknown in her mouth!
oh, p.s. the new look is very cute.
Okay, that is pretty gross. Here is my experience. So I get William out of the tub we are in his room and I have just finished putting lotion on him. He gets up and takes off to a toy, I figure well I will just get some clothes real quick and then put his diaper on. He comes over to where I am and all a sudden I hear grunting. Panic runs through my mind and all I can think is... "Not on the carpet!" So as fast as that thought comes my hand whips its way under his bottom and plop... yep... it lands right in my hand. Dare I mention it was as long as my hand... :) So I have this in my hand, William has some on his bum and I have to carry him and it to the bathroom to dispose and wash up. As we are in the bathroom washing up William starts the grunting sounds again. "Noooooo" I say with more panic and grab him to sit him on the toilet. He starts crying a little because he is so confused on what is going on and mom is yelling "Noooo" at him... Poor guy was afraid of the toilet he had become so fond of. (he loves to flush it and wave bye bye to the water or toilet paper he puts in) Luckily, the trauma was that bad and he thinks the toilet is a toy again.

Typo in my comment... the trauma WASN'T that bad... :)
This is a moment that I am glad that I have no kids Lauri. I think you handled it great. I probably would have called Dave to come home and take care of it. =)
Okay, so Angela, yours is worse too! Now I just feel like a baby! Thanks for giving me some perspective!
It's times like these when I take comfort in the fact that we don't have kids. My siblings all joke around that babysitting their kids is the best form of birth control. I know they'll be worth it, but I might as well enjoy it while I can. It sounds like you're a great mom!
Let the games begin! I'm getting pretty close to sharing those kinds of stories! Good work on poop patrol everyone...those are real women!:)
Okay... so I don't have any kids but when I lived in my apartment I would keep my dogs in the bathroom while I was work. One time I came home to a flood of Diarrhea... all over the bathroom floor(and wall and toilet and... well you get the point). Needless to say... after three hours of cleaning, three dog baths and a huge mental breakdown... I NEVER want to do that again. Hey you wanted a poop story... right?
That's funny Amanda! Way to get in on the action! I would dare say yours rivals mine as well!
Hey Tysons . . .wow it's been along time and I don't really know how I found your website but I'm really glad that I did! This is Jenni Hogman ... well you'd remember me as Jenni Porter. Anyways but it's just great to see you guys! And your daughter is adorable! As for the poop episode we had a similar one but it was followed up with him finishing the chore on the bathroom rug while I cleaned out the bathtub, then preceded with peeing all over the floor. So I totally can relate! But I hope you wont mind me coming back and visiting your site! You guys are great!
Wow, the poop stories just continue! haha! I agree with you Lauri, that we should have some big get together. By the way, I'm 33 weeks along in my pregnancy today! Will you e-mail me your mailing address at tamisue3@yahoo.com? Thanks!
Laur,
You didn't tell me you could sing? How come you don't ever belt out a tune at work? So fun to see each other in our "real lives". Much better than "work lives". Ha ha Cute blog!
xoxo,
Katie "H" hee hee
