Zoey's Magic Pooping Trick

Okay, to preface this, I know that every parent thinks that their child is the smartest and most amazing person ever born. However, in my case, I am afraid it is true. My Zoey has already figured out how to out-smart her parents (which is probably not really that difficult, but she's only 2.5 months old). Anyhoo, this magic trick she routinely performs begins in this way..
1. She makes a real to-do about showing us that she is "grunting one out."
2. She starts to fuss and cry and squawk so much that we really know she is uncomfortable.
3. We rush to her aid, quickly tearing off, what must be the most uncomfortable and horrible mess ever, based on the amount of fuss she is making.
4. Once the diaper has been removed, we notice, much to our chagrin, that she has only pooped a tiny bit and has saved the best for last. She smiles at us coyly as she unleashes the poop fury all over, at first, the bedspread. Soon we wised up to her ploy and used the fabulous changing mat, so graciously given to us by Aunt Michelle.

Now that we are on to her, we undo the diaper, but leave it on, thus tricking Zoey into thinking that we are changing her, but the diaper barrier remains intact, almost always catching the mess. Almost always, being operative there.

This kid is no dummy. Now that we have figured out her poop trick, she has invented the pee trick, quite similar to the poop trick, just with pee. Luckily, she is a girl and cannot aim and shoot like little boys (Josh, I'm talking to you. You peed on me many a time).

Zoey is really good at letting her wants, needs, and wishes known. She is already keeping me moving, and she isn't even moving yet. I can't wait till she rolls over. Oh boy, what have I gotten myself into?

Love you all,

Jenn
