I think this smile just made my whole day. :)

Another blurker who loves your posts but has never commented . . . until now! My oldest (8) projectile pooed 6 feet across his room when he was a baby, no lie! I've never seen anything like it, and thankfully never have again. But I just went to see "Death at a Funeral" and it made me realize that we really do come full circle. Go see it and the poo scene will make you laugh yourself silly! Your boy is a beauty!

Ah, motherhood is all about bodily emissions. Well, At least partly about these! Your story reminds me of that Sex & the City episode in which Miranda inadvertently smears poo all over her forehead. :-)

But, lest you think these issues end with pottytraining, last night I walked into the bathroom...and found myself standing in a decent-size puddle, which turned out to be...pee. When I asked my son what had happened, he said he had no idea. Oh, and he's 6.5 now. So I'm just sayin'. ;^)

Ack! That's the funniest thing I've heard in a looong time. Just wait 'til he's obsessed with potty humor and thinks the word poo is screaming funny. Say it again, say it again, say it again.....

I miss the middle of the night nursings.

SO CUTE. is he always smiling like this? no wonder he gets all the women!

the poo story - too funny!!

that's hilarious.

that's hilarious.

I don't know if it's the thought of Poo or this photo, that just made me giggle until actual tears started to stream. Such joy. So happy for you and your dream of what is little Ben.

Even though I don't even know you. My heart bursts.

That picture is great...

I recall being in a meeting one morning when mine were still babies. I looked down at my hand...and there was yellow on it...lots of yellow...and I said over and over...please let that be mustard, please let that be mustard....
At the next break, I made a beeline for the bathroom. I did not sample the yellow matter, I just convinced myself that it was mustard, despite the fact that it was 10am and I had not been near mustard for days.
Ahh...motherhood!

oh my he just gets cuter every day...look at those wee teeth awwwwwwwwww

He is so adorable, and he looks like he is laughing at you...ha ha you thought you had poo on your ear!

He is such a beautiful little guy!

my my my, I must tell you my poo story....
I was rushing to go teach a step class. I pull into the parking lot and I hear my son (about 15mo) say Oh oh.....I look back and his car seat is filled with poo. FILLED! I have 5 min to get him checked into kids club and into the studio to teach my class. Do I have an extra set of clothes for my darling poo covered child? NO....Do I have anything to clean this up, besides about 10 baby wipes? NO! I get him out, wipe him up as much as possible, put him in a clean diaper, rush in the club to find a pair of childs short for sale, but of course a few sizes too big. I tied a knot in the wasteband to make them work. No shirt for the little guy. I am thanking my lucky stars for only being 2 min late......I start class. When I lean down to stretch my hamstring.......poo is running down my shin.
That's when I really joined the "mom club"

too funny!!

and that pic of ben is to die for!!!!!

:)

I know. I keep waiting for the Dirty Jobs guy from Discovery Channel to cover the mom job as one of the dirty jobs people deserve credit for doing! So many body fluid disasters! Ah, but there are so many rewards...

Ah, I swear he is the cutest baby I've ever seen.

yeah well i went to a wedding when my son was 4 weeks and he managed to poo wee and vomit on me in the first hour. I didn't make it to the the ceremony.

also my son's first trick was managing to pee in his own ear. truly.

I'm an occasional lurker on your blog, for a long time. I cried tears of happy joy for you when you announced your pregnancy. Congratulations!He's a cutie! My third is nine months old, and like her sister before her doesn't sleep through the night. My son was first, and I fretted about his waking and my lack of sleep. Then, suddenly it seemed, that time was gone, and I missed his little arm snaking up my shirt sleeve while he nursed at 4 am. I missed his long eyelashes against his skin as he seeming nursed while sound asleep, and I awake, wondered if I might lose my mind. I didn't expect to have any more littles, as my first was a tad hard to come by, but I was blessed and have learned, by virtue of three littles, it will be okay. If they sleep. if they don't. If you sleep. if you don't. It will pass, and you will miss those moments even while you are surrounded by the joy of toddlerhood. (I should warn you , my second didn't stay asleep until she was three.) ;>

Anyhow, enough with the unlurking!

Okay, you realize, of course that this story is about to go down in the anals of family story telling for about the next 40 years, right?

i love poo.

Ben looks as though he's in on the joke...

I am still giggling over the visual your words created in my head! very enjoyable!

Ben almost looks like a toddler in this picture...so grown up and adorable!

Ok...um, when did he get that many teeth???!!!

How cute he is. Has all the drool started? And the chaffing from said drool? Yup, you'll need to wear a plastic tunic for the next few months until his teeth all come in, lol.

Oh, and yeah...poo, I've had that comment. It WAS poo and it wasn't on my ear, it was in my hair!!!!

Wait until your oldest tells you that you have a booger on the back of your shirt from her baby sister. LOVELY. It only gets better after the spitup, LOL!!

What? You mean your baby DOESN'T poo on your ear all the time?

What are you doing wrong? ;)

Teeth! That's a wonderful picture and a hilarious story.

Thank god for the ink, eh? :)

LOL.
"how you poo?"

i totally love Ben's face.

he's saying..."yep...you love me even if poo gets on your ear."

he's so worth it!! xoxo

Thanks for giving me such a good laugh :)
I remember those days when my daughter was a baby when "poo" seemed to be the big focus.
Loved the new photo of Ben.
Could he be any cuter????

that is hilarious...and those two little teeth and beautiful grin are amazing!

That is such a cute picture of Ben.

So jealous he has teeth though. Sean turns 8 months old on Tuesday and has none yet. Does he just have the bottom 2 or all 4?

That was hilarious... well... I wonder if people would make the assumption if Ben were a puppy instead of a baby. Then again puppy poop is harder and most people use baggies to pick that shit up. Ha ha.. thanks for the laugh!
