His teacher, Chelsea, told me that he went down for a nap easily, and had a really good day and had 3 BMs....bingo. Now, I don't want to be one of those people who talks about their (foster)kids mundane bodily functions. However, I must needs give props to the oft mocked prune. Little Man can tend not to process foods too quickly, and was prescribed a laxative a while ago when he came for respite with us a couple of months ago. Thirteen dollars and several doses later, I'm guessing he had success. But why not try something natural first rather than not?
So the other day, when I noticed that he hadn't done his business in a day, I bought a quarter pound of dried plums from the bulk section at Fred Meyer. He got 2 chopped prunes for dessert that night, which he loved. I told John about it and John said, "Hopefully, they'll kick in at daycare." You got that right, brother. Chelsea was so cheerful about the 3 stinking diapers, and I was cheerful that the prunes worked while I was at work. :) Needless to say, I'm happy that his little tummy and pipes are doing the job now, and he's feeling better.
Do you remember that scene in "Dumb and Dumber" where Jim Carrey's character says, "Hey, you want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?" Well, Little Man likes to do this....a lot. If he doesn't get his sippy cup. If dinner isn't ready when he wants it. If he doesn't get his "Teta" which means food or snack to him. It's loud, piercing and in two second intervals. So, tomorrow, when the vulture scream starts, I'll picture Jim Carrey behind me in the carseat.
And believe me, I don't think the sound is annoying when I think that someday all too soon, we won't hear it again. Scream anytime, Little Man.
