From the mouth of my four year old:
(Looking at our shadows) “Mom you look like you are 200 years old! And I look like I’m eight! We both look like we have those shoulder things that a prince wears.”

(Later in the day. After I said excusez-moi) “What was it that you just said? Excuse me Wa?”

I tried googling it. Nothing pertaining to my problem showed up. If I had an Iguana instead of a toddler I might be getting somewhere.

What I googled was: “Fear of pooping in the bathtub.”

Here are three of the hits that turned up in the top five of my search results:

1. You Know You’re Ig-Wipped When…
It seems normal to have a 4 foot ig[uana] swimming and pooping in my bathtub….link

2. Pugs Story (I checked it out. Pugs is an iguana too.)… Even though I had given him liquids he had been pooping them all out…link

3. Green Iguana Society Quick Help
Constipation/no pooping - Constipation is when your iguana is not pooping regularly….These may help you and your iguana deal with the initial fear…link

All I can say is, thank goodness I don’t have an Iguana. Iguanas and pooping? Well, you just don’t want to know.

What I have is a toddler who currently has an intense fear that she is going to poop in the bathtub. Intense, I said. How many times in her life has she pooped in the bathtub? Not more than three times. When was the last time she pooped in the bathtub? I think it was over a month ago.

Ask her if she wants to take a bath, she’ll tell you, “No ba (bath). Poo-poo.” Put her anywhere near a bathtub and she’ll point to the tub and say “poo-poo.” Take her diaper off and put her in a tubful of water and watch her go into panic mode: “Noooooooooooo! Poo-poooooooooooooooo!”

Two weeks ago she was pulling her diaper off any chance she got. Now her biggest fear is having her diaper off and pooping.

*Sigh*

It would be funny if I didn’t feel sorry for her.

Okay, it’s kind of funny.
