The Mean Poop

Is it possible for a toddler to be maniacal?

Ordinarily, I would say the answer to this question is no...but really, when you review the evidence, I think that may be exactly what they are or at least my toddler is. She even has a cheeky little maniacal laugh to accompany this behavior.

Now, for the most part, I would say that I have the sweetest, most lovable child in the world who wants nothing more than to make her Mommy and Daddy happy (and of course, I am completely biased), but she does enjoy torturing us with her stinky poop!

Layla is getting to the point where she is very interested in the potty (hallelujah!) and therefore, has started to tell us when she is going "poo poo." It's great that she is moving in this direction because I'm so ready to be done with diapers after 22 long months of them and the added joy of changing the diapers of a kid that is completely on solid food. It's a WHOLE other ball game when they get on solid, regular adult food. Let's just say it would be much more enjoyable for everyone involved if it were to go straight into the potty.

However, despite the fact that Layla is going to be potty training very soon, she seems to be taking a little too much enjoyment in seeing her parents change her particularly stinky diapers. She has an evil little laugh that she busts out when she's extra aromatic. She's adorable of course so the evil laugh is quite entertaining!

Now let's hope she doesn't hold this against me out of embarrassment as a teenager :)
