Bathroom Humor

My mother always affectionately refers to baby poop as "rosebuds," so that is the metaphor I will use to tell this story. Everyone always says that once you have a baby, all you ever talk about is sleep & poop...

Lately, we have been worried that our little "gardener" hasn't been producing frequent "rosebuds." The peditrician is not too concerned - in fact he said the record of his patients has been going 10 days without a "rosebud!" Well, we decided to give him some prunes with his cereal today to help "fertilize the rosebuds." We had a big day at the lake and when we came home, we immediately fixed Shuler's bath and began to undress him. I noticed a smell, so we gingerly removed his diaper and were disappointed to find just a tiny little "rosebud." The next thing we know, Shuler's "garden hose" is spraying everywhere! We both get tickled and start laughing hysterically and then realize that he is also making LOTS of "rosebuds" all over the changing table! All we could do is laugh and wait for him to get it all out.

Needless to say, the prunes worked...
