I’ve got mad fever!

No, I am not talking scarlet fever or hay fever… It’s SPRING fever around here! Thankfully we’ve kicked our cold (I should say E and I kicked it, N might be coming down with it now). So things are more productive here especially since the weekend was warmer than usual, basically it was NOT jacket weather [...]

The day of red

18 months ago, thanks to my Fertility Awareness Method charting I knew I was pregnant, before I’d even missed my period. Now, over a year later I am back in the world of fertile women and am reminded of how bad it sucks to have “that time of the month” again… Oh and we have to [...]

Road trip adventures Everly enjoyed.

Whew! After a week on the road we needed a day to decompress after getting back to Evansville. Yesterday we sat around in our PJ’s, did many loads of laundry, scrubbed cat vomit from the carpets, cleaned cat boxes… You know all the chores and stuff that go undone while you are away. Everly was a [...]

The last time I showered in New Mexico…

What is it with shower situations in New Mexico? We are spending the night in Tucumcari, NM this time around. We got a cheap hotel to spend the night in and unfortunately it only has a shower. You see it’s a cheap hotel, tiny, clean and shower-less with a super loud heater… You get what you [...]

Forging ahead – Bringing our car home from Arizona

We are on the road in our newly fixed car! After flying here and hanging out with family and friends it’s now time to make the trip back home, in our car. We spent much time this morning debating weather or not it was a good idea to make the trek up north to I-40 [...]

Live Blogging: Cat Swallows Needle

Here are my tweets as they played out during the night and early hours of the morning. I didn’t realized it would reach so many people. At first I was just tweeting so my husband would know what was going on, then I kept tweeting to be sure I didn’t leave anyone in the dark. [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

It’s true. N and I got the holiday ham that keeps on giving. It seems we have food poisoning or something… It’s been an ongoing thing for over a week now. We just tossed several pounds of ham leftovers after we figured it was the culprit, also tossed the spinach salad just for good measure. [...]

Christmas 2009 as parents.

I never thought I would be such a gingerbread cookie fiend! Last week we made up a ton of cookies to get in the holiday spirit and also so N would have cookies to take in to work for everyone. We’d been trying different gingerbread cookie recipes each year, nothing was particularly impressive and I thought [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

She’s not even walking yet and she’s already being a stinker about opening gifts early. After her gift snagging earlier in the week we moved all the gift bags and stuff with ribbon away from her reach. We thought the paper and curly ribbon was attracting her attention. Looks like she’s smarter about this gift [...]

A twitter addiction? Confessions and talk of loss.

I have a confession. I am fairly certain twitter is killing my creativity! I’ve been having issues with blog content since Everly’s birth. Sure I am a busy mom who is working part time in addition to caring for a new baby. Yeah, computer time is limited these days… The thing is it’s not the time that [...]

Baby leg warmers crochet fun

I’ve been working on making E a pair of baby legwarmers since October. I just finished them today which is kind of a big deal. You see I tend to start and never finish my knit and crochet projects… Today will probably be the only day she’ll wear them since it took me two months to [...]

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans…

All the trees are naked and it is very close to freezing at night now. Thanksgiving is just right around the corner and we aren’t really sure where the year has gone. Life is blowing by so fast and it just feels like we are standing here in a blur while it all swirls around us [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

Well, we’ve done it! Several years of planning and thousands of dollars later… We are now the proud owners of our own home! N was bummed that we had no “sold” sign to pose with out on the front lawn though… We may just have to stage it anyway, kind of like this: We went in [...]

Sigh… Rest and recuperation are in order.

This will be the first weekend in probably a month or so that we’ll have to relax and get caught up on things. Marching season has come and gone, my 9th marching season is now over. Sure winterguard plans and ideas are in the works but it wont be until January when the performance madness picks [...]

Yay! I aimed poo in the toilet. Go team! – An EC post.

Posted on Feb 03 in funny posts, parentingby TalinaPrint

Remember in my last post how I mentioned how I plan to try EC with Tater? Well today was our day off and she’s been eating like mad.

She was sitting in her exersaucer and getting all red in the face kind of like this (video was shot a few days earlier):

I had to act fast and was afraid I could be too late but knew we had to try. We rushed in to the bathroom, stripped her down and aimed that butt over the toilet. Her potty patty hasn’t arrived yet so I was just supporting her legs and back like in this photo I shared a few days ago.

She grunted and strained a bit then, she pooped a good solid baby poo right in the toilet! This was only our 2nd try at EC and already we have success!

I was praising her and feeling so flippin excited. Yep, proud excitement over poop! That is motherhood for ya.

So, I wiped her bum and plopped her down on a diaper so I could run, grab the camera and capture the memory. I should have known better…

While I was snippy-snapping the photos of E and her poop I wasn’t paying attention to her cues. Her eyebrows were red and her eyes were all watery, then splat! Runny, green poo oozed out from under her bum around the front and back. Her hands immediately reached down.

Oh dear! We’ve got poo hands now and freely oozing poop. Act fast mom!

I quickly moved her from the floor to the bathtub where she of course smeared her poop hands on everything. With one eye on her I got the water running and rinsed her hands to avoid poo fingers making it to her mouth.

Looks like it is emergency bath time now!

Luckily I was able to rinse the poop from her before she ingested any of it. She didn’t even get any on me either, I was so expecting to be poo covered. Now she’s bathed, clean, all emptied of her poop and down for the night. It’s been an exciting night.

That’s pretty awesome… and funny. I dub thee the Queen of Poo and Everly the Princess of Poo.

I read your Facebook post too… amazing that someone thinks this will traumatize a child. If you punished her in some way for pooping her diaper… yeah, that I can see. But then I don’t think punishment is appropriate in potty training at any age.

How the heck can it traumatize her if she doesn’t like the poo on her when she does it in her diaper. Seems to me she would love doing it this way better. She seemed to be smiling to me!
