About poop.

Avery has two teefs coming in. OMG they are so cute. I can see the little pearly white buds popping up. This explains what all her POOPyness has been all about lately. I mean, talk about drama queen! Hissy fits, left and right. Yesterday she refused to eat her lunch. Not like, "oh no thank you, I don't believe I will be eating that squash today. Maybe another day." No. It was like:

"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GIVING ME SQUASH??!! HAVE I EVER SAID THAT I LIKE TO EAT SQUASH? NO! *SPITS OUT SQUASH*"

Yes, she spits out her food if she is not 100% satisfied. POOP. I believe it was Jennie who taught her how to do raspberries. Well, thanks. Now she does them all during lunchtime.

Boy, does she know how to butter me up. I can tell when it's naptime. Other than the fact that naptime occurs roughly every 2.5 hours, Avery really gets bent out of shape and nothing is right in her world about 15 minutes before naptime. No toy will entertain, no bottle will soothe, no cuddling with mom will please. The only activity that will cure POOPyness is b-e-d. So I pick her up and plop her down in her bed with her binky and blanky. (She only gets these two things at bedtime.) And, as soon as I lay her down, she turns on the charm. She smiles and laughs as if to say "oh no mom, I'm not tired. Look, look at my smile, lets play! please take me out of bed now." And sometimes I fall for it. And I take her out of bed to read one more book or play for 5 more minutes. But the second I do, she's back to being a POOP. I should really learn my lesson.



I don't ever remember being this poopy as a child.

  1. Honey, you majored in POOP-yness, and were the Princess of it. This tiny darling apple hasn't fallen very far from the mommy tree!

  2. You were indeed the princess of poop. Don't you remember the phrase "Are you gonna be a turd your WHOLE life?"
    It was coined in honor of you, my darling, lovable and still somewhat poopy girl. If Avery wasn't a poop I'd wonder if she was really yours.

  3. Oh, and Karie? You don't have to remember it. You're reliving it. Just from a different perspective. : )

  4. I, for one, refuse to believe that sweet, chubby, adorable baby is a poop, and think that defaming her in this way is some kind of Mom conspiracy.
