Great Book Title

We think that "Adventures in Poop" would be a great book title for a new parents' book. We had our own little adventure Sunday afternoon.

We took Dorothy for a walk, to enjoy the beautiful weather and to drop off some mail in a mailbox. We wound up getting some ice cream at Ice Jack. Just as we were finishing up, Elizabeth noticed a strong aroma coming from Dorothy's direction. We checked, and could see lots of poop struggling to escape from the diaper. Rather than deal with a major poop with our little portable diaper bag's contents, we went on the forced march home, double-timing it to get there ASAP.

It turns out we shouldn't have given Dorothy a bath in the morning, because she got another cleaning (this time in the shower with her Mommy) after we got home. The poop was mostly contained by the diaper, but a teensy bit managed to make its way up her chest. Plus, she decided to pee while I was changing her, just to add to the excitement. With all the mess, it was easier to just wipe her down a bit then stick her in the shower.

I don't know how big of a seller "Adventures in Poop" would be with stories like that, though... (BTW, I'm writing this entry at 3am Monday morning because our Little Miss decided to wake up at 2am and wasn't interested in sleeping again, even well after a shot of Tylenol had taken effect.)

I know if I were part of a couple wanting to have children, "Adventures in Poop" is a book title that would want me to run out and have 10-12 of 'em.
