Poop is Funny, Just Talk to My 3 Year Old

Every day is an adventure with my three year old Lucian. He is smart and curious about his world so I just never know what might pop out of his mouth.
One of our challenges has been getting him to poop consistently on the potty. Sometimes he does but many times he won’t tell us he needs to go. He’s fully capable, he just doesn’t want to. Yesterday I caught him with that look while we were both in the dining room and I immediately asked him if he was pooping. With a sheepish grin he replied, “Yep.” Great, another round of poopy pants to clean up. Here the subsequent conversation.
Lucian: Oh, look. It is a little poop. Just a little one though mommy. Not a big mess, just a little poop.
Me: Did a poop fall out of your pants?!
Lucian: Yes, but just a really little one. It came out my leg mommy. Just a tiny poop.
His legs are open wide as he avoids squishing the poop still in his pants
I look and see that it is very tiny and looks solid so I decide to have him clean it up. We’ve been having him help with his messes so it isn’t so easy for him.
Me: Well, here is a napkin. You can clean it up but don’t squeeze it. Wait. No, don’t put it on the TABLE, Lucian ! Argh.
I reach over to clean it up.
Me: (laughing a big belly laugh) Ha! Lucian, that isn’t a poop. It is just a raisin!
Lucian: NO! It IS a poop mommy. It came out of my butt.
Me: No, honey it is a just a left over raisin from snack time.
Lucian: Nope, it is a poop.
I could have ate it to prove it but I thought that might be a bit much. 🙂
Less the an hour later I’m sitting at the dining room table with Lucian and Joe (my husband) who just got off work. I see on my laptop that I will be receiving a Dyson for review (SWEET!) and of course I have to show him all the cool features.
Lucian hears about the new vacuum and asks:
Does it suck up poop?
Ah, these are the days. I’m certain I won’t be using it to clean up poop but I’m thinking it will be fabulous for those dropped raisins!
That’s too cute! Gotta love what little ones say! 🙂
Haha! That’s hilarious! I’m in the throes of potty training my son right now. It’s so funny to hear the things they come up with.
I love it. That sounds like a conversation we would have in my house. What is it with boys and poop!?
I am SOOOOO with you right now. This is almost exactly the same nightly conversations I have with my son. I could laugh or CRY… it depends on the day or night! 🙂
P.S.- Just so you know, the Electrolux upright with attachments DOES clean CAT poop. I know because MY son decided to clean out the litter box. UGH!!! He had 1/4 of the box cleaned out before I was able to get to him! I was surprised both HE AND the vacuum survived that fiasco. OMG what kids put us through!
What a boy. He is quite the talker for his age. Mercy, what they don’t think of. But it is funny, I am just so glad you didn’t eat the raisin. LOL
HAHA!!! This is SO funny!! I’m sitting alone, and belted out a loud laugh…ahhh What a little cutie! Dyson: the new poop picker-upper 😉
lol ew.. but funny!:)
LOL! Kids are crazy, aren’t they? Too funny! My grandson likes to say his poops look like moons.
This post is so funny! The poop was in fact a raisin…lol
