My two year old daughter is just about potty trained. We were at the grocery store, and she told me she had to go poopy. I asked if she could wait just a few minutes, and she said she could (mistake #1: Never trust a two-year-old's judgement on time). Once we got home I had forgotten about her having to go, and I began to put the groceries away. The next thing I knew she was running, with her pants around her ankles, screaming "I gotta go poopy!" I could tell she had pooped, but I couldn't seem to find it anywhere. I just assumed she hadn't really gone yet, so I stuck her on the toilet and cleaned her up. I went back to the kitchen and finished putting the groceries away. I still smelled pooped. I looked everywhere and couldn't find it. I figured it was just lingering from before, but it wouldn't go away. Several more minutes went by and the smell was as strong as ever. I was going crazy trying to find the source of the mysterious poop smell. Finally, my three-year-old son came into the kitchen and said, "Mommy why is there poop on the top of your shoe?" I looked down, and sure enough there was a decently large piece of poop just sitting on the top of my shoe. Ah, the joys of motherhood.

LOVE IT!!!!! Oh you have to get a book and write these things down in it. I can just picture the scene. Thanks for making me laugh this morning.
That is so funny! I thought me finding my daughter's poop in a pile in our closet was bad...I think you have me beat!
Hi Lizzy! I stumbled across your blog in the circuit of money-saving mom type blogs, and I'm really enjoying reading your posts! It's a great blog -- I love your style. Sorry for the poop episode with your daughter... definitely sounds like a story you'll be telling for years. :) Take care.
Ok, this was too funny! I popped over from MSM and so glad I did. This was a hoot! I had a similar experience a couple of days ago, but I had to follow the trail of poo to find the source. Turns out my little one had "lost" it, then found it by stepping in it!?!
It's in the job description ya know?
