Easter Poo...

You read that right, Easter Poo, not Easter POOH. This is not a story about a honey loving bear.

I know we're several weeks away from Easter now but I keep forgetting to blog about this memorable, albeit gross, happening.

On the Saturday before Easter we enjoyed a nice Easter egg hunt complete with snacks, jumpy houses, pony rides and a petting zoo. (see previous blog entry).

After that we went back to Babci and Granddad's house for dinner and yet another egg hunt.
When we arrived I changed Ella's diaper, it was soaked from all the juice she drank out in the warm sun. I, forgetful mommy, did not bring a change of clothes for her so she had to hike the pinestraw hills of her grandparents' back yard in her lovely easter frock.

A couple of hours pass and it's time for Matt's sister and her crew to head out as cousin Zach has a t-ball game.

Granddad scoops up Ella and we head out to the front steps to wave our goodbyes. Granddad...trying to be tactful...waits until the car pulls away and then turns to me, "is she not wearing a diaper?" "Yes, I changed her right when we got home." Gengerly he moved his hand a bit as she was in his arms, "No, I'm pretty sure there's no diaper on here." I yanked up her skirt to see her....Merry Christmas!!

Ella's dress did not come with those pretty little diaper covers so once I changed her and turned away, she must have ripped that sucker off, preferring the nice spring breeze beneath her billowing dress.

I immediately searched the house for a little pee spot. After all, she's been leaving them all over our house, before going to the potty, after going to the potty, before and after bath time, any time she has an opportunity to run like the wind.

NO PEE anywhere....

So a few more hours pass and it's time for us to leave. I start collecting the bubbles, candy, stuffed bunnies and other thing she got from Granddad and Babci...

That's when I noticed a little ball she had gotten resting under the patio table. I walked over to pick it up and stopped in my tracks. I must have looked funny because everyone stopped and gathered around....

"Is that a turd?" I exclaimed.

"Yes," said Granddad as he reached under the table with bare hands, scooped up Ella's present and threw it off in to the hundred acre woods...Easter Poo...
