poo duty
When we were visiting the Trevino’s in AZ I heard Aunt MaryLee say “Oh, Andy, some things you just don’t need to photograph.” “But it was her first one!” was Andy’s reply as he showed us a picture on his digital camera of Alyssa’s bathtub poo. All neat and log-like, as if you could just scoop it out. Just like that. Djai’s poo is no loggy, I rather like to refer to it as “patty,” or, “Djai patty.” I know I am doing a good job with his food variety if his stool is not too hard, yet not too runny. The “patty” is just perfect I think. Soft enough to not give him troubles, but still all in one place. When it is in the diaper anyway. Water is another story entirely. After the Lysol and drain-o vapors finally cleared out of the bathroom, tonight I had to disinfect the bathtub and ALL of the bath toys for the third time this week. When in water the Djai patty quickly disperses into tiny particles and the whole bathtub is poo soup with a side of sail boats. I can see the contents of his day’s meals. Whole kidney beans. Grape skins. Mandarin orange segments! This is not as bad as Ben’s “fountain poo” experience, or story after story of baby Brodeur poo, but boy do I envy Andy and Melanie for Alyssa’s poo log!

Ah, the poo log. Easy cleanup. We can’t wait! ;p
P.S. Kyle wrecked a pair of Djai’s jammies with poo. It didn’t come out in the wash completely. Sorry! That stuff sure does stain. It’s hard to believe that volatile stuff comes from breast milk. We’ll keep washing.

Thank goodness the computer nerds have not invented odor emails. My PC would certainly wreak and have to be put outdoors to air out. Heh, heh, heh.
