poopoo poopoo, what do you see? i see a toddler staring at me.

okay. so, i don't know if my kid has just gotten to that age - if this is pretty normal - or if she's just really weird. then i wonder, if it is normal, is it usually a boy thing, or is it all kids? are only potty training children at risk? i can tell your curiosity is beginning to pique.

ever since i showed riley her dirty diaper in an effort to convince her to let me change it, she has had this preoccupation with inspecting poop. her poop ("mommy, i make a brown poopoo" or "riley made a big poopoo!), samantha's poop (to which she proudly exclaims, "mom, it's a yellow poop!"), and daddy's poop. she doesn't inspect mine because we all know mommies don't poop. (my husband would beg to differ). moving along...

we are not allowed to flush or close the diaper before she's had a chance to take a peak. my husband also recently taught her that "c" is for "caca". couldn't we have stuck with something easy like cookie, cat, cow, candy or clown? there are a lot of acceptable alternatives. i understand the need for reinforcing the french language, but we've already got enough poop to deal with. (while we're on the subject, did you know that the french word for boogers literally translates as "nose poop"?) it's probably a really good thing we don't have cats anymore. at least we've gotten over the hurdle of "it's poopoo on it" anytime something is dirty and needs to be wiped clean or washed.

so, is it just my daughter or is this pretty prevalent among the toddler community?
