During a long shower yesterday, I composed a post (in my head) about how great it is to shower with Talia. She is terrified of the bath lately and will tolerate a shower if I take it with her. We're lucky enough to have a larger than normal bathtub/shower in our master bathroom so it works out nicely. I get to kill (or bathe) two birds with one stone. I also get to see her cute little bum (what's cuter than a wet baby?!) as she wanders around the shower busy with whatever "project" she has come up with the shampoo bottles and bath toys I've brought in. I don't have to worry about what she might be destroying around the house as I shower so I can indulge myself with longer than normal time under the relaxing warm water.
These are all the reasons I was I thinking up until I heard a little grunting sound. You might imagine my dismay as I looked down to see that she had pooped right there in MY bathtub. She's done this in her bathtub and it didn't seem to bother me that much - you kind of expect kids' bathtubs to be pooped in once in a while. There seems to be something sacred about my tub though and she had defiled it!
All I could think, as I made some naked mad dashes between the shower and the toilet, was that I wished I hadn't given her so much to eat for dinner the night before (sorry for the visual), why do we have such a large mirror right there? (again, sorry for the visual), and GOOD GRIEF! Being a mom is so awesome.

All I can say is Aaaaccccckkk!
I wish I could relate... okay, not really... Great story, though ;)
What makes kids poop when their bum gets wet anyway? It's crazy.
I'm with you... so much easier just to all get in the shower. It saves a lot of time and a lot of extra clean up (well.. in your case, I guess not!)
I had a very similar experience the other day. I was in the bath with Lewis when that familiar grunting started. I hopped right out and tried damage control (i.e. trying to scoop out the poop before he could pick it up, which is what he was trying to do).

I love showering with Ellie. We've had a poop incident or two as well...ick!! Glad that hasn't happened to us in a couple years. We still shower together frequently. There's something so sweet and lovely about holding a snuggly, warm, naked baby (or toddler). :-) When they're not pooping, that is.
I found your blog through Mindy Hymas'. I love all your latest birthday/wedding pictures. It looks like you guys are doing good and staying busy! I actually posted something about this post on my blog because I just had a similar experience. Oh, the joys of being a mom! :) I really do love it though. It is great to see what you are up to lately. Take care!
