New Tricks... *warning: lots of poop talk*

Ever noticed that when you have something new, you like to use it/wear it/do it until it's almost ridiculous? Yeah, me too. Have y'all seen my cowboy boots? Emm hmm. Only like every single day. It gets to be almost comical. This happens with little kids, too, when they learn something new. My daughter just recently learned to poo-poo in the potty. She's a little independent in her own ideas - we could ask her all day long to do something, but she's not gonna do it until she's convinced it's *her* idea. Ahem, shegetsithonestly. Did you get that? Yeah. My fault. She's also not gonna do anything until she's sure that she can do it perfectly and be proficient at it without a lot of mess ups. Ahem again. Dang it - so, we can't pass on ALL of our positive traits to our kids - they gotta get some of the bad ones too. So, here we are, though...we now have a very proficient poo-pooer.

Back to the idea at hand. Yeah, she's got a new skill - so she's gonna wear it out. This child (who would never ever hardly poop before and Mommy had to perform really bad maneuvers to make poop occur) is a pooping machine. She is showin' it off to anyone and everyone. We have pooped all over town in each and every potty. Small balls, big logs, any shape, form, or fashion of poop. We've done it. She is so proud. Bless her heart, she will sit on every potty in town until something occurs....and then, whatever you do, PLEASE do not cover it up with the toilet paper. You must try to pile the toilet paper into a different area of the toilet from where the poop has landed. She wants to see the poop and invite everyone within a 5 mile radius to come and admire it, too. She's so proud :) I'd like to pause and give a shout out to the nursery workers at our church. I do believe that there were several poops done last Sunday - all for your viewing pleasure. Another shout out to the attendees of Aunt Christy & Uncle Shane's housewarming party. My child sure did warm up your potty - I know y'all all know about it because we paraded a couple of folks into the guest bathroom to check out the poop at Miss W's request. Mama Trish & Poppa, I hope your septic tank is okay - I can attest to noting about 3 poops when we were at your house. Wal Mart - yeah, we got you too...followed by pretty much a bath in hand sanitizer. Eww. Cringes. Restaurants - you aren't in the clear - she's gotta make room for more food! Whew. Poopin' machine.

It's pretty hilarious - but clearly, I'm proud of the little chick. I'm shuffling guests in and out of the bathroom to check out her poop. I really don't care if you're grossed out because it's my kid's poop and it rocks. She's got a new skill! Let her wear it out with pride. The new-ness will wear off at some point and she'll poop in privacy like the rest of us, but for this time, I'm gonna enjoy watching the innocence of a child and a new trick!

What??? Are y'all sad that I didn't attach a pic to this post? :P Ha ha ha!!!
