She ate poop

I try to shy away from poop stories because I'm pretty sure I'd lose some readers if all I talked about was poop. But, believe me, there are stories-- many stories and I think today's just about takes the cake.

While I was packing earlier (still have a ways to go!), I put Olivia in her vibrating seat and let her shake the little toys that hang down. I left the room for about 7 minutes and went into the nursery to pack. I could hear her laughing and rattling the toys, so I thought nothing of her being in the next room alone. Well, when I walked back in the room, Olivia was covered in poop from head to toe. It looked like the side of her diaper had opened and all the poop had come out, and it was a big load. She had put her hands in it, and we all know how much she likes to suck on her hands. Are you picturing this? She had wiped the poop all over her face and was sucking her fingers, which were covered. I immediately called my sister who is in nursing school and she said she'd be fine. I actually thought about taking a picture, but I was in such a hurry to clean it up so she wouldn't eat any more. Also, I'm not sure it would be fair to Olivia to post a picture on the internet of her covered in her own poop. Still, in a weird way, it was really funny.

Ok, back to packing! BTW, I will be blogging from the beach because we have wireless internet service at the beach house, so we're bringing the lap top. Stay tuned for adorable beach baby pics!

I packed out laughing at reading your post. My mom *loves* to tell me the story about how she 'discovered' me a FEW times in the morning when she went to get me after waking - where I'd also gotten my hands on the poop in my old fashioned towelling diaper and voila - instant baby art. She never did mention if I ate any of it though ...

Oh, the poop stories are definitely the best and the funniest! Every mom has a boatload of good ones! This one is classic! You have to laugh in order to keep your sanity. :)
