Nature Calls During Science

Warning:

This is a story about poop!


During school hours our littlest Rottie sits in his seat and sleeps until about 10:45 am at which time he is ready for a feeding and a diaper change. When I started to change his diaper, there was just a bit of poop, I wiped him and well...that opened a floodgate! All reading ceased....pencils were stopped in mid-stroke, looks of disgust, amazement and curiosity were all around. It was a gargantuan amount that matched none other. I kept thinking, "Man, there is no way that newborn sized diaper would have held all of that!" But I kept that thought to myself. The silence was only broken by the 4 year old that said: "Wow! That baby has a lot of poop!"

Indeed!

And so.... we had a great discussion on the digestive system from beginning to the end.
