Different children have different names for the process and the product of defacation. Griffin, who is now 18 months old, refers to this as "pee-pee." Confused as this may seem, he gladly notifies us of it's presence as "pee pee." It could be in the diaper, or on those free-wheelin occasions when we let him run around the backyard naked, he might come running in the house with a hand full of goodies outstretched and announce rather obviously, "pee pee!"

Sometimes he is more enthused about this, adding an exclamatory modifier to his announcement, as in, "Pee pee, Yay!!"

We are certain that someday the content and the emotion of his exclamations will take a drastic turn, for better or worse, and we currently revel in Griffin's appreciation of life's more mundane aspects.
