Mommy of the year!

If you are squeamish at all, stop reading now-if not, keep reading for a slightly entertaining story....Several days ago, little guy was crawling around on the floor when someone opened the back door to the yard. For him, that's the signal to crawl as fast as possible to the open door, in hopes of getting out. Well, that he did, and instead of just crawling outside, he sort of lingered in the doorway, looking out. Apparently, unbeknownst to me, he found something interesting sitting on the doormat just outside. Curious as he is, he figured the best way to find out what it was would be to put it in his mouth. About this time, I walked in the kitchen to hear one of my kids say, "Ewwww..he's eating something." I walked over to where he was and picked him up, while he was chewing on something small...and brown. I grabbed it out of his mouth and that's when I realized......the smell......oh yuck.......yes, it is.....dog poop! Gross! Now how did we end up with dog poop on our back porch when we don't even have a dog? Well, one of the neighbor kids kindly let my kids adopt their dog for a couple hours the day before in our backyard. When I realized it, I sent him home, but not before he pooped on the patio, apparently. At this point, I was freaking out-trying my best to wash what was left out of his mouth. He ate most of it, so it really was no use. If I didn't know Purell was not a good thing to ingest, trust me, I would have squirted some of that in there. After I got him all cleaned up and sanitized-and myself, too-the next step was to "google" it. Surely this had to have happened to some other mom. I was quite comforted to find it happened to a lot of people-and guess what-the babies were all fine. Whew! I guess it's just another of those things that God knew was going to happen. Babies would always be falling, so give them flexible bones-and babies just might try to eat poop, so give them strong immune systems. Thanks, Lord! Luke did turn out fine-and is now a bonafide poop conossieur! As for me, I'm still waiting for my 'Mom of the Year' award. Do I hear a nomination?
