Doody in the Pool

We had an incident in the tub last night.

Peanut pooped in the tub.

Just a nugget, but still, he pooped. Luckily it was easily, uh, retrievable.

So, does this mean I'm a full fledged "Mom" now? You know, now that I have my very own poop story.

Am I in? Am I! Am I!

Where do I pick up my plaque? Do I get a jacket, too!

34 People are even more brilliant:

Too funny! I don't have a poop story yet. Three kids ages 10 - 17 months and I have NO poop story. The funny thing is that it all happens to Michael. Shelby had a blow out while he was carrying her in a store... no change of clothes! Daniel had a blow out in the bathtub while I was out... how to clean up baby, self, and tub? But seriously, I am not complaining!

Rebecca said...

No, no, a nugget poo doesn't count.

Actually, I've got four and none of them have pooed in the bath yet (superior genes, of course) but they've vomited....does that count????

Heather said...

You are so IN!

Mommy Daisy said...

That is really funny. My mom loves to tell the stories about me pooping in the tub as a baby. She said about every other time she would put me in the bathtub with my dad, I would poop. He would jump ship and let her take care of it. You think he would have learned his lesson the first time it happened.

I think you deserve a plaque for that. ;)

Annie said...

Big time in! I hate when that happens - I call the hubs in for clean up duty - he doesn't seem to get bothered by that stuff - so if he's happy cleaning it? I'm happy letting him!!!

You are definitly in..but wait until you get the poop and vomit in the tub..now that's a story I know all to well! hahaha

Hahaha...yea. Aidan did that when he was little and we just switched him from the baby tub to the big tub.

Just another story for blackmail later on.

The REAL question, Jennifer, is did you take him out, wash out the tub, and then re-bathe him?

That's what I used to do when my oldest did this ALL THE FREAKIN TIME.

Middle child hasn't pooped in the tub - she's 4, so I'm hoping, you know, that she's past that point.

And of course, now I get to do it all over again when #3 is old enough to be bathed in the big tub. LOL

So yeah, I suppose you get at least a patch to PUT on your jacket... of course, that means MORE WORK FOR YOU. lol

Ugh. SF used to do that every time I bathed her...Released something or whatever...

great times...

Congrats!

Kelly said...

Oooooh....I totally remember the first nugget in our tub!! A sweet incident to marked down in the baby book, for sure!

Sarahviz said...

Yep, you get a nice BROWN jacket.

Keri said...

You were in when your nips bled. Now you get entance to the inner sanctum. This is where we use the better appletini mix and Harry Connick Jr comes weekly to croon for us.

OhTheJoys said...

I will totally volunteer to make you a "my kid pooped in the tub" button.

I'll get right on it.

(Make sure I have your e-mail address somewhere...)

I remember when Pants pooped in the tub for the first time, and so far, the last time. I really did think to myself, "It's official. I have kids. They poop in the bath tub. This is my life."

What is it about that moment that seems to seal our fate? Is it, in fact, having heard so many tub-poop stories?

I feel like I'll get my plaque the first time one of my boys plays in their diaper. Here's to hopin'!

You are so in! And at least it wasn't in the pool. Last time E went swimming, some kid (not her, I swear) dropped a nugget and a siren that sounded like those ones that warn of apocalypse went off. We had to evacuate for several hours while it was decontaminated.

I once handed an infant to my husband who was in the tub and the baby did a major poo in the tub... the liquid yellow mustard poo that breast fed babies have. It was all over him--I laughed my ass off.

Welcome, fellow poop retriever...

Welcome! My one of my twins pooped in the tub, only once- thank god, but the other was so totally and utterly traumatized she shuddered whenever she saw the tub for months. =)
Next to walking around the mall with baby spit up running down your back, this is the next initiation into motherhood! =)

Her Grace said...

Hmmm..for a nugget I think you get an honorary medal. I'm not sure you get officially certified until "the big one."

This post is hilarious! You never forget your first tub poop :).

Jennifer said...

DS did that for DH but never as yet for me... he saves all his grossest moments for Daddy.

Of course, I still got to clean it up!

Southern Fried Mom said...

We're sending you out the club t-shirt right now!

mommiebear2 said...

It doesnt trult count until it is all smooshed in your tub and drain and you have to actually work to get it out! ;)

Marie Green said...

One more thing: I really love your new design... but it's making me crave olives. Every time I stop by, my mouth gets all eager for olives. (I guess it's better it's olives and not vermouth... at least not yet...)

So if you bump into to me, and notice my shiny coat, you'll know it's from the olives! =)

ewwwwww!!!!!

Yes, officially a mom!
It takes a little turd to initiate you into the club.

I wanna know what happened after he pooped in the tub... Did he laugh? That's what Nicholas did...

Cherann said...

Yeah. the princess has pooped in the tub about 3 or 4 times.

I guess it makes you a mom. But you don't get the plaque until they've done it 5 times...I'm almost there!

Heee! Poop nugget!

(Clearly today is my day for "two word" comments..)

But I think I have my new favourite 'swear'. Poop nugget! Wheee!

Iota said...

I'm a lone voice here, but I say no. You have to have a vomit story AND a poop story.

Sorry.

moosh in indy. said...

Oh honey. I've got poop stories coming out my, well pooper.

Cate said...

Your first poop post....I'm so proud of you! Congratulations! Here's to many more poop posts in the future! *clink*
