Pooping Goldfish

Yes, I am afraid it's another Poop Post. And, many of you faithful blog stalkers have already heard the story, but I am afraid that if I don't log it, it will someday be forgotten.

Since her birthday, Lauren has been very excited about using the potty. She asks many, many, MANY times a day to go the bathroom. In fact, her teacher finally asked us to bring in pull ups for her since she had a record 9 requests to sit on the potty in one day, and it would be infinitely easier to just pull up her diaper if it was still dry, etc. So that's the good news. The bad news is that it's still all phantom squats-- she's not ACTUALLY going to the bathroom.

A week or two ago she begged Todd to let her sit on the potty because she had to poop. I mean, the child was DESPERATE. So he sat her down, and walked away for a few minutes. Lauren sat for a bit and then got down. All of a sudden this small voice filled with wonder and amazement says, "Daddy...I pooped GOLDFISH!!!!!!!!". Todd had tossed two waylaid goldfish from the floor into the toilet. Lauren really thought the water-bloated fishies came from her.

We've had a good chuckle over this one for weeks!
