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!
