Potty Update

Well, it was an interesting weekend on the potty. We had some successes (mainly due to the non-stop BM's) but had NO successes in the pee department. I have a call in to the doc to see about adjusting meds or what we should do about the constant pooping. We all got tired, we all got bored. It is hard work, but we are keeping at it and thank God for the teachers at school taking a shift each week day!

Sucess....at least a little

Tonight we had some little boys who asked to go potty and who both pooped in the potty (even if it was just a little)! Licker asked once and pooped 3 times at home (and once at school). Trouble asked once (10 min after we sat him and he used his talker) and pooped twice! I think he was jealous that Licker was getting beads and he wasn't getting his hand sanitizer.

Its a start and gives me some hope!

Back On the Potty Again

Kind of like being back in the saddle but without the saddle sores and the fun scenery. Instead you get some interesting books and smells and some children who really don't want to be there. We are trying a less invasive method this time and sitting them at set intervals through out the day. May take longer, but I think we may have more of ALL of our minds intact at the end.

So we had the procedure done for Encopresis and things are ....flowing. I would say nicely, but is poop ever nice? really? So we waited a week (school went ahead and started this week). Trouble pooped once at school and hasn't done anything at home yet. Licker has done once at school at once at home. No pee yet, but with the procedure on their bums, I'm not surprised.

This is the book I am following along with some things from the Cincinnati Kelly O'Leary center. I will update you all as things go along, but this way my friends who DON'T want to hear about graphic pee and poo can avoid it and just NOT read ;)

Happy Potty!
