I guess this story is further evidence that I grew up with 3 sisters and there was only pink and barbies around. No sign of boy stuff in sight. Therefore, I am clueless about little boys and how weird they can be.
The poop obsession started over Memorial Day weekend when Reed and Kate discovered deer poop. Every morning they would take a walk and search for deer, but more importantly they would search for deer poop. All weekend we heard talk of deer poop and I thought it would end when we got home. Of I was wrong. This boy is still obsessed with poop. I just don’t get it! My parents still have 2 golden retrievers so every time we go over there (at least once every weekend this summer for pool time) Reed wants to go look at the poop. Seriously. He takes my hand and says ‘mommy, I wanna see the pooooop!’. then we walk to the back of the yard and inspect all the poop. He points his fat little finger at every pile and declares that yes its true. That is poop.
It is ironic that he loves to look at all kinds of poop, but will.not. go poop in the potty. What a funny little boy.
***I wrote and posted this entry yesterday. Last night do you know what Mr. Reed decided to do? He told us he needed to go poop…and we ran to the potty and he POOPED! He was so excited about it. He ran around the house screaming that he ‘went poop in the potty’! Then he wanted to call ‘BB’ (my little sister Diana Beth) to tell her that he ‘went poop in the potty’. I emphasize those words because he just kept repeating them. He was so proud. Then he wanted to wear his ‘panties’. Randy quickly corrected him that he wears ‘undies’. Of course 15 minutes later he peed in his undies. At least we had one success!
Too funny! What does he have to say about Ali’s poop? Everytime John has a dirty diaper Kate says, “that’s disgusting!” As if he’s committed a mortal sin.
Ha! That’s funny – I guess we don’t have animals around for Ben to get obssessed with. Although there was some tree stuff in our old front yard that looked like a pile of poop and he was OBSSESSED With talking about that for a long time. It was too funny!
Ben got to the point that he was demanding a diaper change as soon as he pooped and that was when he got potty trained. We had one poop success on the potty and ran with it!
