I have resisted the urge to put a link to my online photo album until now. My wife came into our 2-year-old’s room after naptime to find this:

Jamie had “painted” the wall. Thank God for 2-year-olds. Thank God for digital cameras and online albums. And thank God that of the 5 two-year-olds we have had, this is a first.

You are not alone.
My son did this when he was 2 as well. None of the other 4 kids did it, however. I wish I would have grabbed the camera before I cleaned the wall up. That would have been one hell of a great black mail picture.
Ah, poopy-painting. My son did this at about the same age. More than once.
Kind of puts the difficulties of dealing with him as a teenager (he’s 17 1/2 now) in perspective. Whatever irritating things he does every day (and he does do something irritating about every day), he no longer reaches into his pants and smears the bounty within on my freshly painted walls.
Cute kid, BTW – good thing they’re washable, huh?
Ah, memories. My oldest son was a Diaper Dali
…also. Cut myself off there, sorry.
It washes off just fine, and a picture’s worth a thousand words, especially when they’re older and start thinking they’re smarter than you. Heh heh hehhhh. 
Oh my god.
My daughter is a year old and the idea of that happening in my house terrifies me. Oh. My. God.
Maybe I’ll always keep her in pants that she can’t get off on her own.
Seriously? It terrifies you?
It’s not that big a deal, really. You just wash it off. She may never do it anyway, my youngest didn’t.
They are mighty good at taking off clothes. My daughter can get out of everything!
Personal confession.
Not one of my four former two-year-olds created a fecal masterpiece. I did. And parents and siblings have never let me live it down!
However I did turn out to be artistic, if that’s any consolation.
Yeah, the thought scares me.
I’m sure though, that if it happened I’d clean her up and then probably gag a little and clean up the wall. When she was pretty young she sneezed while dad was changing her and poop went everywhere, the bed, the wall, the dad (:)), and we just laughed and cleaned it up.
My cousin had two early potty trainers. She tempted the potty training gods by taking credit - convinced it was her wonderful mommyness. They repaid her as the third was a late trainer…and a Poop Picasso.
My son was not an artist, just an olympic full diaper thrower.
I think those pants will be more useful when she’s 17.
Well since nobody else will ask:
What are you feeding him?!?!
[right]…[/right]
Jamie eats whatever is put before him on a plate.
(This may have been avoided if he had been wearing pants over his diaper.)
It’s not as scarry as it seems. And of my six children, all have a poop story except the 8-month-old.
Jamie’s will go down in history, though.
AWWWWW He’s such a cute little guy. Would you really have wanted that to not happen if you didn’t get that photo? (however, totally sympathize with whatever rage was in your mind when you first saw the mess…yuck)
Either pastels or oils - watercolor wouldn’t show up so well on a wall.
Of course, it could just be charcoal…
