« The baby loves a good fart joke, just like the rest of us. | Main | Vegas baby, Vegas! »

Don't forget to flush afterwards...

I took both kids to the playground late in the day yesterday, around 5:00pm. Julian was playing in the sand with shovel and bucket, and I was holding Adrian. Adrian had on training pants. I had an extra pair of TPs in
the car, but no wipes or anything like that. We just jetted out of the house really fast and didn't bring a lot of stuff along.

I was nursing Adrian and suddenly he unlatched himself, let out a fart, and looked at me. He had already pooped that day, but hey...no need to tell me twice. He obviously had to go again.

I took him in the park bathroom, wiped off the seat, and sat on it backwards on it with him in our usual manner. He had never pooped on a public toilet before.

At first he just looked wildly all around at all the fascinating stuff. The bright, shiny plumbing pipes had to be touched and investigated of course. I didn't think he was going to go, but then he settled down and let out 4-5 waves of poop. Ugh, that would have been a HUGE mess if he had done it in his diaper or training pants. But he got it all in the toilet!

What's even better is this...after he was done he leaned forward, grabbed the handle and FLUSHED THE TOILET! Just like an old pro. He wasn't even startled at the big whoosh of water, it was like he planned it all along.

Little babies are so on top of it.
