I have come to a new realization in life that is a bit funny to me.
Just 3 short years ago, I was a member of the "GIRLS DON'T POOP" theorist. I did not admit to, talk about, look at, or acknowledge that ANY girls pooped. I am pretty sure, I almost had Mike convinced that I didn't! And he was not allowed to talk about it, fart in front of me or leave a smell lingering through the house...We had been married for 3 years and I don't think I ever "pooped" with him around or any chance of finding out. It was my dirty little secret...
Fast forward to today! Delaney who is 3 years old and is just potty trained; this morning she calls me in to the bathroom, as she does EVERY time so that I can admire and congratulate her on her poop in the potty!!! We have to do a little dance and tell her what a GREAT job pooping she did!
Then there's Tristan- the newborn preemie- who once he started pooping and still, we tell him what a great job he did and admire his diaper and discuss with friends and family what color and consistency it is, along with how many times he's "gone" today!
I just find it odd that I spend most of my day congratulating and being SO PROUD of my kids for pooping! Something I used to think was un-natural.

See how motherhood changes you?! LOL
As you likely presumed, this is the first weblog about bowel elimination that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I found it to be quite a provocative introspective.
