it's been busybusybusy at the klapow house these days. last weekend more internet friends came to play! 6 parents, 2 toddlers, one baby, one dog and 5 cameras. yes, the cameras DID out number the babies! it took seeing mia with lilja for me to realize that she's really not a baby anymore. she's a little girl. a little girl with a shoe obsession.
on wednesday uncle james came into town! we rarely get to see him in person and mia hasn't seen him in 15 months so it was a treat for everyone. plus we got to take time off in the middle of the week to hang out - bonus!
mia wasn't sure what to make of uncle james' tattoos. i don't think she was impressed, though. she kept looking at them like "um, you've got crayon all over you, dude. do you want a napkin to wipe that off?" outside of the tattoos uncle james is the most exciting thing around, though. he's all fun all the time! mia woke up this morning and the first thing out of her mouth was "uncle james!!" it was sad to see him go but we take what we can get.
****
and now we'll talk poop.
the constipation isn't going away. she's afraid to poop so she holds it in. making it worse. same story, different day.
our friends suggested that we try fruit-eze as their nephews use it with great success. we checked it out and it sounded like the perfect solution. so we ordered it! hope is a powerful thing and it was coming in the mail! wednesday night there was a package at the front door - the pooping solution was here!! all 5 lbs. of it! yes, 5 lbs of a raisin/prune/date/prune juice paste. so much pooping paste!
it tastes like raisins. mia loves raisins. mia will not eat the pooping paste. not in her yogurt. not on toast. not on a cracker. not from a spoon. not in a pb&j sandwich.
meanwhile josh and i have been eating small bites of it to show mia how yummy it is (it really does just taste like raisins) and we can tell you first hand that it works. even in small doses.

ok listen up mia. you need to eat the fruit-eze. i think you realize it's going to make you poop. but what you don't realize is that poop is not supposed to hurt. so if you eat this strange raisin paste, your poop will come out soft and regular and you will start to feel much better all the time, not just when it's poop time. ok? are you with me? so tonight you are offered some fruit-eze, give it a nibble. and then a nibble more. ok? we love you, and want you to poop painlessly. please mia, poop for us!
