Parent's Lexicon

As a parent, you find yourself saying and doing things that your child-less self just could not have imagined. We first started laughing about Things You Would Never Hear Without Children about 2 years ago while Daddy was watching Curious George with Karston. The improbable phrase was, Thank you window monkey. This week's addition to the must-be-a-parent lexicon is Magic Poop Shoes. Cale has a very nice pair of grippy Geox shoes. When he's really pushing his legs to work out a poop, I put him in his walker with his Geox. It's the only time he doesn't move his walker all across the kitchen, even though the shoes should make that easier. Works like a charm to soil that diaper, though. Hence the phrase, magic poop shoes.
