This is the game we play in our house now that G is completely pee-pee trained but definitely not poop-trained.
Here are the rules.
1. Pooping on the potty is NOT allowed (per the 4-year-old).
2. When the 4-year-old boy poops in his underpants, he yells, "Mommy, FLIP THE POOPS!"
3. Mommy accompanies the 4-year-old boy to the powder room.
4. Toilet lids are raised.
5. 4-year-old boy's pants are removed.
6. Mommy turns the underpants so that the poops flip into the toilet. The goal of the game is to get the poops out of the underpants and into the toilet WITHOUT any poops falling onto the floor.
7. Soiled underpants are removed.
8. Mommy tells the 4-year-old to touch his toes or the floor by bending forward.
9. Mommy wipes the 4-year-old's hieney-butt.
(NOTE: With Mommy bending over to wipe the child's hieney-butt and the 4-year-old bending over to touch his toes, one MIGHT confuse this game with a very sick version of Twister.)
10. 4-year-old puts on clean underpants and pants and goes back to playing (or stands around naked informing Mommy that he is going to start greeting people from now on with his butt instead of his face).
11. Mommy washes her hands thoroughly and wishes for a soap that would wash the smell of poops from her nose and the vision of 4-year-old hieney-butt from her mind.
Most of the time this game is only played once a day, although some days Mommy is really lucky and gets to play 3 or 4 times.

I feel for you Carrie. Lily, who will be five in February, still can't take care of wiping herself after she goes #2. It is so lovely to hear her yell out "Mommy, wipe my bum! I pooped!". I can only hope she does it when we have company over the holidays.
Okay, 1st grade humor here. When I posted my last comment the word verification was "dungfina"! I find it amusing that a post about poop had that for a word verification. :) It's the little things that make me giggle.
"Flip the poops!" Now, there's a command that you never thought you'd respond to when you were working on your Master's degree...
Jonah's still not poop-trained either, if it makes you feel better (which it doesn't). He usually does it in his diaper first thing in the morning (we're too cheap to buy Pull-ups), but when he has to go in the afternoon, he tells me and I put a diaper on him until he's done. I'm not sure when I'll be ready to fight the battle.....
Shelby, too funny about the verification word. What are the odds???
