This little one....

Look at the little face of this girl...how sweet, blue eyes, blonde hair, big smile.....STINKY POOP!!! Yes, you read it right. She went to bed last night, no problem. About 10:15 we heard her singing and playing. I was going up to put Parker in his bed and when I got to the bottom of the stairs, I smelled it. Yes, it. You know what I mean if you have ever had a 2 or 3 year old. I called to Aaron to come and he smelled it, too. We walked up the stairs together and were mortified together, as a couple. Aaron found the guilty one hiding in her bed. Here is the conversation...

Aaron, "Susannah, what is on your hands?"

Susannah replies, "It's dirt, Daddy."

Aaron "No, Susie, it's NOT dirt, what is it?"

Susannah still replies, "It's dirt, Daddy."

Aaron gettting angry and making her smell her very dirty and poop covered hands, "It's NOT DIRT, SUSIE, WHAT IS IT?"

Susannah says very quietly, "It's poop, Daddy."

Aaron says, "Yes, it's poop. Do we play with poop?"

Susannah replies sweetly, "But I was making a poop castle"

Yes, our small blonde headed one had made little castles out of POOP on the landing at the top of the stairs!!!! Can you believe that? Of couse we could hardly keep a staight face when she made the "poop castle" comment.

Of course, she was very properly punished, given a bath and put to bed in the guest room. Aaron and I spent the next 45 minutes cleaning up the "poop castle" from the carpet. I recommend the "little dirt devil" carpet cleaner for anyone with small children. It has saved our carpet and sanity many times in the past 5 years. Parker slept thru it all. What a super baby!!!I'm off to wash sheets and get ready for our camping trip. Yes, we are going camping with our church and our 4 month old!! Prayers for our crazy family will be much appreciated! :)
