Are You Pooping?

I ask Jules this question on a daily basis. 1.) I enjoy holding a dialogue with her, because it is just her and I most of the time. 2.) I always get an answer. Of course she doesn't actually answer me, well, not with words anyway. When you have a child you become pretty good at recognizing the cues that are given, and what will follow those particular hints. I will be using Julianna's pooping cues as an example.

I find these to be very useful. I know whats coming, before her poo has even hit the diaper, and it won't be long before the glorious appearance. I may know this now, but at first I didn't and had to learn , just like any first time mom. Knowing can make a world of a difference!

These are the telltale signs (in order) Jules is getting ready for some business:

• her face gets red, like really red
• eyes begin to water
• usually some grunting
• becomes a squirmy worm
  
• when she was really tiny she always use to claw her face. ( not anymore!)
• then kaboom! The sounds that come out of her bum amaze me sometimes and even can startle the pooches!!
• a sly smile tells me the job is done

The last sign is a very important one because if you rush to change her before then, you run the risk of getting projectile pooped on. Which is never fun and always a big mess! I have learned this lesson and I am proud to say I have only been projectile pooped on one time. I am sorry to say, the same cannot be said for her daddy.

Now, after every poop I just pray there is no excess leakage!
