Heard Over the Monitor

Zoe wakes up.

Zoe starts playing and singing.

Zoe gets quiet.

Zoe starts yelling "Mommy! It's not poop! It's not poop, Mommy!" (in a tone that sounds like she's saying "I promise Mommy, it's not poop. Trust me.")

I start to run upstairs, instantly thinking "Oh no.... it's poop. Why is she saying it's not poop??? Is it being used in some non-poop way? Is she really trying to tell me 'Hey Mom... look, it's not just poop... it can be used as paint!... or shampoo!... or earplugs!... or a facial cream!'". The list in my head flies in the seconds it takes to get upstairs.

I open her bedroom door waiting for the smell.

I turn on the light waiting for the sight.

I see nothing unusual. No poop in sight (or in smell).

Zoe smiles.

Zoe says "Mommy, it's not poop!"

After catching my breath I ask "Well Zoe, if it's not poop... what is it?"

Zoe says "It's not poop... it's farts!!!"

Zoe cracks up laughing.... and I join her.

Wacky kid.

Ha! One day while eating lunch I noticed a definite poop-like odor, so I asked my younger daughter if she'd pooped. "No, mom, just gas," was her reply. I nearly peed myself from laughing so hard.

That's so funny. I'm so glad she hadn't used her poop as any type of decoration (face paint, shampoo, new wall decor)!

That's great! Just wait until you are out in public and she makes that announcement to all who can hear. Or better yet, informs everyone that "Daddy farted" followed by giggles. Gabe just thinks that is the funniest thing.
