weird
our son is a little weird, but that's to be expected, as his parents are a bit odd too. to any parent that happens to read this, feel free to confirm or deny how weird this particular behaviour might be.
***caution: this is about baby poop and pee. if you dont care to read about such things, then you should probably move on***
Caleb prefers to poop with his diaper off. he's a once-a-day pooper, usually mid-morning, which is fine. we'll smell what we think is his daily gift, and take him over to change him, but it usually turns out to be a false alarm. probably some gas. but usually he's got enough pee to justify a changing anyway. so off with the diaper, and suddenly he's very happy. I think he likes to be naked, which I suppose he gets from me too. but pretty much as soon as the diaper is off, he'll start making like he's pushing out the poop, red face and all. of course this process takes a little while, so michelle is usually left standing there, holding up his legs to make it easier for him. why does he hold it until his butt is bare? will this make potty training easier? harder? who knows.
what a little weirdo. and we love every little bit of him.

Wierd and annoying! All kids have their oddities. Josiah liked to poop in the tub, every night for a while. That was bad! I would notice the signs, but poor Joel would be a bit late and have to clean out the tub everytime he gave the bath. And I wouldn't be thinking of potty training this early! I bet little C's bowel patterns will change like 15x before he's ready for the pot!
Yes it is very weird and a bit annoying. But I think he's getting better at going in his diaper. I think one reason might be that he can't stand poop in his diaper. He fusses like crazy right away to have it changed, so maybe he just prefers doing it with it off. I'm sure there will be more strange things to come with Caleb. And yes we do love every cute little bit of him!
Yeah, it does seem weird, but kids are all about weirdness so in that way it's entirely normal! : ) Have y'all been pooped on yet? The first time I was pooped on (I personally refer to such incidents as "the playdough factory") I freaked out and, well, flung it around the bathroom. Ick.
Happy Thanksgiving to the Wiegers family.
You like to walk around naked? That's pretty earthy. :)
