Are we just anal??
 
We have had an interesting development in the “land of poopy”.  Taylor has decided that he is on a “poop once a week” plan, and Miss Mallory is on the “poop every 3 or 4 days” plan. After Taylor had gone over a week without pooping - he didn’t seem uncomfortable, and his tummy wasn’t tender... but mommy worried nonetheless.  We made a call to the pediatrician who suggested a glycerine suppository.  So I went to CVS, picked up “child size” suppositories and carried them up to the counter, hiding the label.  When I handed them to the cashier, I handed them to her with the label facing her, so she was sure to notice they were “child size”.  Of course I didn’t want her thinking they were for ME! (or, she could have just thought I was a wimp, and couldn’t handle the adult size ones myself. oh well.)  So at home, we arrive, and Kevin has already sworn to me multiple times that he isn’t getting near Taylor with the suppository. So I lather the thing up with vaseline, and pop it in. We kinda just all sat around staring at him, waiting for the fireworks to begin.  Needless to say, about an hour later.... A WEEKS worth of poopy finally made its way out into the world.  Good gracious alive.  It was great, because I had done “suppository duty”, Kevin was assigned “poopy duty”.  Awesome.  I also feel that it should be noted that it also smelled like it had seriously been hanging out in there for a week.  I almost vomited, and I wasn’t even standing over it.  i thought that would clean out his system and get him back on track... but no.  7 more days we waited. I was ready to give him a suppository on day 5.  Kevin has made it known that I am a little too obsessed (in a weird, creepy way) with the whole suppository thing.  
 
So... there you go.  Our first “poopy” blog.  Now do you get it? “anal”??? Man, sleep deprivation really does wonders for “crappy” puns.  Yeah... sorry about that.
