Toddler TMI

Can we talk about poop?

You can’t really stop me, so I’m gonna, but it seemed the polite thing to do to ask…

Poo is a big topic of conversation when it comes to babies, but that seems to taper off into toddlerhood (until it comes to potty training, that is…). Anyway, so here are a few things we’ve learned recently:

• When you eat *only* edamame and broccoli for a few days, your diaper filler is a shade of green not unlike a Crayola Fern Crayon.
• A diet high in fiber (mostly apples and the aforementioned edamame) results in a LOT of poo. Seriously. A LOT.

I am more and more opinionated every day – thus the restricted diet; that’s not Mommy’s idea! I tend to like strong flavors: broccoli, pickles, cranberry sauce – and I eat peanut butter crackers like they’re going out of style, but chicken? Meh. Sometimes I’ll eat it, mostly not so much. Lettuce? Not even a little bit. I love apples and pears, but there’s that fiber again – I’m never going to gain weight and grow big and strong if I’m… ahem… continually filling my pants.

So, Mommy and I are wondering – what’s the norm here? I’m totally energetic and my cheerful self so we’re not worried about my health or nourishment or anything, but really? Does everyone go through this I-poo-four-times-a-day-stage? Because we’re going through a LOT of diapers lately… It’s also time for our kid to visit his dentist. If you also need one, make sure that you check out these trusted dentists.

What goes in…
