Olympic Fever

**Warning** This post (as it won't be surprising to most) deals with poop. If you're grossed out, not interested, or are some classy person who thinks mommy-blog posts about poop are cliche, then just go check out Cake Wrecks or something.

USA!! USA!! Like most of America, Nora and Nolan are super excited about the 2012 Summer Olympics. Their enthusiasm is somewhat of a surprise, however, due to their tender age and the fact that they're not allowed to watch television, but let's not squelch passion for physical activity, nor good old fashioned patriotism!

In an homage to the ancient games the twins have created their own Olympic event. Thinking themselves quite clever, they named this contest the 25M Twin BM Relay ("Get it, Mom?" they giggled. "The 'M' isn't meters it's minutes and instead of an IM relay it's.." Yeah, yeah, kids. We get it.) The BM Relay's debut was just this morning, as a matter of fact!


After enjoying a delicious breakfast of cinnamon apple banana oatmeal, Nora, Nolan, and I adjourned to the nursery for diaper changes, playtime, then ultimately nap. As both were quite pungent, I could tell I had my work cut out for me. Miss Nora was first and, as expected, had destroyed her diaper. No big deal. I changed her then set her down on the floor to play. That's when the fun began.

Here is the official rulebook description of the Olympic 25M Twin BM Relay:
-The Mother shall have no prior knowledge that the event has begun, nor even of its existence.
-The relay should ideally take place when there is Somewhere To Go Soon.
-Order of Events for Relay
    1. Twin A has a poopy diaper, gets changed by The Mother
    2. Twin A is sat upon the blanket to play.
    3a. Twin B has a poopy diaper, gets changed.
    3b. Simultaneously Twin A must let out a loud grunt, indicating poo is nigh.
    3c. The Mother shall say "Oh no you don't! Ugh! I just changed you!"
    3d. Twin B will pee on The Mother while she's not looking (Extra points awarded if he gets his own face as well)
    4. The Mother will change Twin B's outfit. (Extra points awarded for swearing)
    5. Twin B is sat upon the blanket to play.
    6. Twin A has a poopy diaper, gets changed.
    6b. Simultaneously Twin B must let out a loud grunt, indicating poo is nigh.
    6c. The Mother shall say "Are you kidding me?! What is this? Some kind of poop relay?!"
    7. Twin A is sat upon the blanket to play.
    8.  Twin B has a poopy diaper, gets changed. (Extra points awarded for swearing here also)
    9. Twin B is sat upon the blanket to play.
   10. Top points awarded if The Mother actually cries when both twins look at her and laugh out loud at their own hilarity. 

Congratulations!  Nora and Nolan have won the gold!
