Guest Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 The things children say: Yesterday my boys had cheese on toast for tea. My 3-year-old said "Daddy - I want to be a cheese-boy". "Ok..... ?" I said, and then he followed it up with "...called Tony". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 What was that one about Graham? I hope that you're bringing your lads to Kew in the new year - they sound lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 God knows..... he does come out with these things sometimes. Maybe he was thinking of the gingerbread-man and decided he wanted to be a "cheese-boy".... Dunno about the Tony bit though. Re: Kew - it's a bit of a treck, but by the sound of things virtually everyone is "trecking"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Sort of getting back on topic (I know, I have to break the habit and do it just once!), I heard a great anecdote today from one of our directors: They are trying to potty train their 2 year old and have got him to wee in the potty,but he has trouble doing poos in it. He did one in his pants the other day, and his dad said 'no Sam, poos belong in the potty', so little Sam, scooped said poo out of his pants and put it in the potty where it belonged, then .... wait for it..... he wiped his hands down the front of his shirt!!!! I had to laugh, but it can't have been funny at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Tell oyu what, I'm not the slightest bit squeamish about anything else, but poo smells do it every time. You'll know what I mean in due time Gina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Oh, sick and poo - no thanks. I had to clean a real runny one off the chicken floor this morning from the chickens. I was about ready to throw up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Darren is more than experienced at dealing with poo. That can be his dept. He used to work at the National Autistic Society and regularly got involved in bowel movements and carpets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clare* Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Whilst trying to dry a little lad at school yesterday who fell head first into a huge puddle in the playground,a little girl came up to me saying she had poo in her pants. Now I am fine dealing with Ben and the chickens but not other people's I told her to go to the toilet and I would be straight there. Thankfully when I arrived another lunch supervisor had got there first I was stood in the corridor heaving I was no help at all. They ended up calling her mum. Poor thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I know execatly what you mean Clare* - I couldn't do it for another child. Didn't she/they have any spare pants at school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 What are you all talking about Baby poo is fine- as long as you're not weaning them on vindaloo Breast fed baby poo is much, much nicer than bottle fed baby poo, hardly smells at all, just mustard yellow and seedy . One of the biggest, but least cited arguments in favour of breast feeding. Forget the IGg & IGm, getting your figure back and all those arguments. Nicer poo- persuaded me . Meconium in the first couple of days is a bit sticky and a fairly horrible greeny black, but believe me I'm an expert in poo clearing up, and give me baby poo any day. And give me anybody's poo over earwax or feet . I absolutely detest syringing ears, eeugh, makes me heave every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 No, I can do that - it's the smelly stuff that I'm not keen on! Have PM'd you Kate - give me a ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
