The Daily Balance

So poop now consumes 43% of my daily thoughts, conversations and musings.

Green poop. Orange poop. Squishy poop. Runny poop. Coiled poop. Mud-like poop. Seedy poop. Must I go on? Because I can…

I’ll spare you — no sense dragging all of you down with me.

I’ll also spare you from the photo I captured and immediately sent to the Mister featuring one of bean’s largest logs to date. I figured if I had to experience it in person, the Mister, at the very least, could be repulsed for a few seconds via picture-text. If only I could capture the smell so that he too, could experience the burning sensation starting in the retinas, we’d really be in business.

If someone would have told me six months ago that a large part of my day would be devoted to Bean’s meal planning (by “meal planning”, I’m of course referring to selecting the perfect ratio of constipation and non-constipation causing fruits and veggies), I would have sh*t my own pants.

But so goes the life of  motherhood. And after all, sh*t happens.

   Have you experienced rabbit pellet poop yet? My kid has been doing that all the time and one well placed kick will make all those little nuggets go flying. *Shudder*

   Just wait until he’s a little bigger, eating big people food, and starts having “adult-like presents” in his diaper. *cringe* My youngest is 2 this month, and we are currently experiencing this. Good times.

   Fun story:
   About 7-8 years ago, when my oldest was a baby, my husband was taking a nap one afternoon. Husband was awakened by our son trying to put something in my husbands mouth while saying “bite”. Husband looked down just in time to see our son take a big “present” from his diaper, and put it against Husband’s mouth, while sweetly saying “bite??”. lol

   Shi*t definitely happens.

   I’m with you in taking picture and sending it to the mister… Seriously, wish there’s a technology to attach the smell, too. My LO is just 3 months… Please do share some tips on meal planning for LO. Thanks!
