I woke up to a really gloomy and rainy morning. Dad got up with me and hung out until Mom came downstairs. My breakfast was the breakfast of champions: prunes! Today’s an official Poop Watch (my first since June!). I haven’t pooped since last weekend, when I first started eating rice cereal.
I was very uncomfortable all day, spending most of it pushing as hard as I can. The highlight of the day was meeting a bunch of new friends, including Emma who is only three weeks older than me! I was in a really bad mood, but Emma cheered me up by sharing her toys with me.
We got home, I had a bottle, and then Dad and I made our weekly trip to Dominick’s. Mom was shocked that Dad was willing to risk an explosive poop at Dominick’s, but he doesn’t seem to worry about things like that. Anyway, the trip was pretty uneventful and by the time I got back, I still hadn’t pooped.
Then the real fun started. Dad gave me a suppository to help me poop. Apparently he’s not very good at it, because that fell right out the next time he inspected my diaper. So, in went another one. As if that wasn’t fun enough, Dad stuffed me with prunes and even gave me a few ounces of prune juice in my bottle.
Finally I started pooping. Not one seven-day avalanche (thankfully for Mom & Dad), but a series of mudslides, if you will. I definitely needed a bath (which came with a bonus suppository) and then headed off to sleep.
