Poop. Not something discuss much is it? I mean, generally, no one in their right mind would get excited about poop. There might be the occasional good joke about it but that is that. So how is it that when a baby poops its a time for excitement, discussion and comment?

I'm serious. Mother in law delights in changing poopy diapers. There then follows lots of discussion about poop, how it looks, its texture, where it originated and so on... Amazing isn't it how something that no one normally talks about suddenly takes on a new level of interest and importance just because the baby did it.

And at the end of the day isn't the baby an eating, sleeping, pooping machine? So I just don't get the fuss over a baby doing something it is actually supposed to do.

Do you?
