DS pooped in the bathtub

[birdmom]

It was gross. I was folding laundry while he was playing in the tub, and as I went to grab the washcloth, I noticed that the water was very murky. I scanned the tub for something that didn't belong, and lo and behold, there it was, stuck under the bathmat. Good thing the puppy had just brought in a stick from outside...I poked it with a stick for confirmation. Got DS out of the tub, pulled the mat out and threw it in the wash, as the turd had split apart and wedged itself into the suction cups. Washed the toys that were in the poop water, gave the kid a sponge bath and scrubbed the tub.

DS is out of town for the week for work. I hope this isn't how the rest of the week is going to go!

I'm so glad this has only happend to us once. Funny, he never did it as an infant.

When DS was a newborn he pooped in the tub, the warm water relaxed him. It probably happened 6-8 times during those first few months...

It has happened to us twice so far. Both times conveniently when DH hasn't been home to help.

I remember ours! DS was still using the foam bear sponge, and the turd was right on it. Grossed out as I was, we wadded the whole thing up and threw it away. The MM thing would've been to wash it...

This has happened to us as well. The last time was about 3 months ago. I've never seen my kid move so fast to get out of the tub. He scared himself. It has actually been a decent potty training tool. "You don't want to poop in the bathtub!"

DS used to do it all.the.time. Like seriously once a week- the warm water seemed to relax things. The hands down worst was the time I was in the tub and DH plopped him in with me and he did it. I took the hottest, longest shower of my life after!

Thank god it has never happened with DD.

DD1 did it all the time right around when she turned 2. Sucked!!! I hoPE yours is a one time thing--DD2 & 3 maybe did 1-2times, not nearly as many as DD1.

Little E peed in the tub once (I know that happens all the time). I was surprised...there wasn't a ton of water in there, and it just kind of spurted up in a stream. I laughed...it was funny. At least he hasn't peed on me (yet? knock on wood...). No poop (again, yet?). Ugh, I rue the day. I don't really want to belong to this club...
