Everybody Poops...

Or at least tries to. Wow, we had a crazy weekend. Audrey had to poop....badly, but it was just not coming out. Sorry for the graphic imagery. So, Saturday, we stuck her in the bath with a little lunck. Sunday, was worse and we almost headed to the ER. But, Jim drove to the Pharmacy and our pharmacist said to try stool softeners, after an hour, they worked. Thank goodness.
So for now, potty training has had a bit of a back slide( not too bad though) for the lil girl that says she "doesnt want to go potty, cause it hurts!"
My mom was here, and of course, she hates to see her girl in pain, so she went to Weis and bought all things fiberlicious! What worked: Bolthouse farms carrot juice, it seems. All 100% carrot juice. I mixed it with orange juice( cant hurt to have a little vitamin c).
Now, I have switched to fiberlicious natural smoothies:

She was on a smoothie strike for a few weeks, but she seems to like these.

Hopefully we are on the road to poop happiness!

Its Potty time...gotta go with the flow

At least that is what Elmo told me.
For the last week, we have been in the midst of potty training. She is ready!
Very Ready!
The first day, I loaded her up on juice. Set the timer for every 10 minutes...and we were off! We watched Elmo Potty Time and she was lavished with MM's and coins for her dinosaur bank. A few accidents, but overall a success!
The next day, was food and drink as usual, and she was doing great. She had an accident every once in a awhile, but so far so good.

The 3rd day, we took a walk in the mall, and actually did great.
It is pooping on the potty when it is a little more firm than she likes, that is the hard part.
Now, 1 week into training, she has very little accidents, but still occasional problems with pooping. she says it hurts. But, I would say Potty training, although it has taken over most of our day to day has been a pretty good transition.
Yeah for big girl panties!
