He Wipes His Own Butt
Me: Did you have fun with auntie today?
Spiderboy: Yes.
Me: What did you do?
Spiderboy: I watch movie, eat macaroni cheese, and poo-poo.
Me: You went poo-poo?
Spiderboy: Uh-huh.
Me: Did auntie wipe your butt?
Spiderboy: No, I wiped myself.
Me: You wiped your butt by yourself?
Spiderboy: Uh-huh. I did it by myself.
Me: Good job!
Mental note to self: Spiderboy is all grown up. He has master the art of wiping his own butt.
Another mental note to self: Must give Spiderboy a bath. He stinks.

My daughter has been wiping her own bottom for about a year now.
Over that same time period our hot water bills have gone way up. Not to mention the money spent on bleach, air freshener, and new underwear.
Haha…I love that he feels it necessary to include “poo-poo” among his list of activities. Although, I suppose that independent wiping is a brag-worthy accomplishment at his age!
You know what? I read your blog so that I know what to expect when I become a parent :)
It took about 6 months for my daughter to learn how to wipe her bottom properly after she had a bowel movement. She just felt it was more convenient for “Mommy do it”.
Phil and Grace, tough choice, right? Do it for them so they’re not so stinky or let them do it so they learn for themselves.
Kelley, I thought it was funny too. He talked about eating and then goes right to the poo-poo.
Yich, perfect. You read my blog but you have no kids. I read your cooking blog and I don’t cook.
I guess he’s a big boy now!
And the Beavers, huh? I was actually supposed to go to the Duck game on Saturday but I was still sick so I didn’t want to sit out in the rain.
[...] I can’t wait until they roll out the underpants version for men…wait, putting your fruits and your produce in your underwear is probably not a good idea. [...]
I have a baby in the making. Ha! You have to learn to cook soon!
Do I really r-e-a-l-l-y have to clean poop for at least three years?!?!? *faint*
Yich, congratulations! When are you due? I guess I can expect some strange recipes soon. Pickle chow fun? If you are lucky, it will only be three years. Spiderboy has taken a step backwards. Yep, we have to help him again. And I do cook already. There’s ramen noodles, toast, cereal, hamburger helper…
