Year 5, Day 286: The Final Poop Update!

Miles is now mostly self-sufficient when it comes to restroom usage. He excuses himself when he needs to go, only occasionally calling out from the bathroom when he needs help with something. This was the case tonight, and what he said was...well, it was a new one. "Daddy!" he yelled. "I got a magnet poop!" … Continue reading Year 5, Day 286: The Final Poop Update! →

Year 3, Day 318: Poop Update 14!

Miles has once again produced a turd worthy of bestowing a name upon.

Now imagine the beef … Continue reading Year 3, Day 318: Poop Update 14! →

Year 3, Day 167: Poop Update 13!

As Miles has gotten older (and as evidenced in the previous installment of this ongoing catalogue), he's getting pretty good at naming the various styles of poop he's contending with. This one showed up last night.18) Monkey Poop I'm not sure why we're going with "monkey," but Miles seems pretty confident about it. Brought on … Continue reading Year 3, Day 167: Poop Update 13! →

Year 3, Day 142: Poop Update 12!

17) The CarrotOnce mentioned as a passing observation, this term for a long, slender, slowly emerging poo has since been adopted as a common part of Miles's poop lexicon.

Year 2, Day 310: New Year, New Pee

New Year's Day is famously a holiday centered on bold (possibly unrealistic) promises and embarrassing bathroom situations (well, New Year's Eve is, at least). We're taking care of making Miles's resolution for him this year, and as it happens, it will likely also lead to some toilet-related mishaps. Yes, with the holiday season behind us … Continue reading Year 2, Day 310: New Year, New Pee →

Year 2, Day 186: Poop Update 11!

16) The Corn Dodger We all know what happens to corn in the digestive system. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. This poo is here to remind you of this. An otherwise unremarkable misshapen, half-dollar-sized ball of waste, the Corn Dodger still manages to be slightly nauseating due to the pronounced flecks of yellow housed within its brown depths, … Continue reading Year 2, Day 186: Poop Update 11! →

Day 301: Poop Update 9!

Our drive home for the holidays was rocked by an emergency pit stop that involved changing a diaper in the back room of a convenience store. The beast that awaited me within this dank cave is described below. 14) The Excavator Get out your mining hat with the little light on top, because this isn't … Continue reading Day 301: Poop Update 9! →

Day 297: Poop Update 8!

There isn't a new poo to add to the ongoing catalogue today, but this is exceedingly worthy of a mention nonetheless -- today Miles's daycare reported that he had a poop of such magnitude that not only did all of his clothes need to be replaced, but their advice was to "just throw the old … Continue reading Day 297: Poop Update 8! →
