Whether its poop in a diaper, a dog fart, or me forgetting my deodarent here is the day in the life of a single mom, her son, and their dog.

It's coming out of every end!

Everybody knows that all a baby does is eat, sleep, and poop. Well we have added another activity to the list, and that is play. Sometimes though Paxon gets poop and play confused, or he does them both at the same time. And of course there is pooping while eating, gotta make room for that wonderful tata sauce(see post below). Multitasking at its finest.

It seems like anytime I put Paxon in his jumperoo before his first nap I set myself up for a poopsplosion. And I mean there is poop EVERYWHERE at that point.

I have seen it go up his back, up his stomach, down to his thighs, and once it went all the way down to his feet!

Now the part that I don't get is this: Sometimes when I go to change these diapers, there is a surprisingly little amount of poop in the actual diaper. And the poop is all the way at the front, and barely any by his actual butt, where I was under the assumption that said poop came from. Do things shift once you put them in the jumperoo? I'm starting to think they do.

Paxon isn't one to tell me when his diaper is dirty and his demeanor does not change at all, so sometimes I go to get him out and holy surprise to me! I should really buy stock in Shout, because I am constantly using that stuff. It is a godsend. I absolutely love it.

What really surprises me, is when I go to change these diapers, get him all clean and slicked up, back into a diaper, and then realize I have poop somewhere on me. Sometimes it is my pants, my shirt, my hand, my arm. One time I even found it on my elbow. Honestly?! How does one get poop on their elbow and nowhere else on their body? How does that happen? I find myself constantly asking Paxon "You got poop where?" He of course finds it hilarious.


Another wonderful trick that little boys have is the ability to pee on anything within a three foot radius, and most of the time that includes mom or himself. Paxon however enjoys peeing on his Grandma the most, because he does it every time she changes him.

That thing is like a loaded missile. You only make the mistake once of getting caught in the crossfire with your mouth open. Luckily we have only come very close once. I got it on my chin, and almost had a heart attack. He of course finds it HILARIOUS.

You never know when that missile is armed, and when it is ready to fire. Its like a loaded gun, you don't want it aimed anywhere near your face or his. It can go off at any time. I see it out of my periphs and by the time I go to cover it he is already covered himself. Pee in the eye cannot feel good.

Some people ask "why don't you cover it when hes naked?" well because I don't want to, plus my child is at that age where everything needs to be touched. That includes the missile itself and whatever has been used to cover it. So why waste the wipe? A little bit of pee never hurt anybody.

 Here is a hint I heard from someone, and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. You get one of those little plastic dixie cups and just put it right there on the wiener, and voila! No more pee streams. Now here is where I think the flaw is in that "solution." Yes you wont have the unexpected stream, but now you are dealing with a puddle. That pee is going to just pool on his stomach or run down his bum and legs. That sounds like even more of a pain.

A few drops of pee from a stream dries a whole lot faster than a pool.
