Butter knives aren’t just for butter…
I’ve done some pretty gross and weird things in the first year and a half of being a mom, but this one is right up there.
Decker happened to step in some dog poop and it got stuck all in his shoes. In trying to figure out how to get the dried dog poop out, Scott and I came up with a genius idea…a butter knife. Who knew that I would spend part of my sunny afternoon standing on the porch digging dried dog poop out of the crevices of my toddler’s shoes?
Oh, and if you ever come over for dinner at my house, don’t worry, we’ve disinfected all knives.

No poop here!


Ahh, the things we do as parents! I bought a cleaning brush with a handle and stiff bristles for shoe scrubbing… works great! And fortunately the girls are older now and scared of stepping in dog poop.
A butter knife, nice one! I would have gone for the chopstick myself.
