no poop here

mia didn't poop yesterday at all. which means that she is working on something that will no doubt split her in two. poor baby girl. yesterday we sent her to school with prune juice and orders for her to only have milk at naptime - the rest of the day is water and or juice. she wouldn't touch the stuff.

thinking i could get her to drink it at home (because i'm smarter and prettier than those daycare ladies, and what do they know, anyway?!) i took the juice home and gave it to her in her favorite cup with a straw. she took a sip, made a funny face and then handed it back to me "thank you!" i told her to have some more and you know what she did? she pretended to drink it, exclaimed about how "yummy" it was and then gave it to me. she tried to trick me into drinking the prune juice. she is too smart for me.

so no poop. and she woke up at 1:30 this morning in tears because her stomach hurt so badly. still...no poop.

in other news...i walked into the kitchen and heard a slurping sound last night. knowing that mia wasn't drinking her juice i was confused and couldn't find her anywhere. finally i see her - she has the dogs water dish between her legs and is dunking her fingers in the bowl and then sucking all the water off. charlie looked like he might just die. "she's got my water!!!" poor dog.

think poopy thoughts for mia today!

Poor mia!

Holden tries to eat the dog food ... so just be thankful that Mia only wants the dog's water. ;-)

oh poor mia! maybe she'll take apple juice? that oughta, um, loosen things up, too.

hope she feels much better soon.

Can you hide the juice in something else? We mix it with milk or put it in oatmeal. Sometimes we blend it in with something like sweet potatoes.

I know the howls of the baby who can't poop. They make my heart hurt. I hope things get better soon.
