I have another man in my bed...

Daddy is away & the mice will play! Isn't that the saying?! Nah.. It is just how I feel right about now! This tribe of ours has been behaving WILD lately! They seem to have even more energy than me! Scary! Yes they started preschool last week & Yes they love it! What I love even more is that I actually have time to pay closer attention to each of them. I boy have I noticed quite a few things about them now that they are not around me 24/7. Today is all about Brendan, funny how that is, he is my little man! I have noticed just how sensitive Brendan has become! Especially now that he is in school, on a different NEW schedule. His teacher even told me the other day that he was being "secretive"! How many secrets can a three year old have?! Hmm... Then she said he cried during lunch for his "momma", Oh Boy! Normal I know but this is at lunch not when I am dropping him off! I know he will be OK & just brush it off to he is going through one of his "things" & needs time to work it out. One of the biggest things he needs to work on is the whole going potty business. He has absolutely NO interest in it! I know boys are slower in this dept but he tends to get very anxious about it. They are working with him at school which I am SO happy about! But I wonder if there is more to this bathroom thing. I mean he has always been a constipated kid. We buy Miralax by the case! LOL! It was not until today that I ever really thought about prematurity & how being born at almost 33 weeks really affected them.You see Mr B has issues! He has the HARDEST time going #2. It's like he will hold it in. I know, TMI but I need to share this. Maybe there is someone out there that can relate. Here I am being ignorant thinking it was how he was made & he would eventually grow out of it. I mean there is only so much Miralax a kid can ingest before refusing to take no more! We are there! He refuses his sippy if we put some of it in there! So there I was making that dreaded call to his Pediatrician to get a name of a Pediatric Gastro Dr. To get my son some relief! It was when I made that call I realized there is more to this & we need some answers. He needs help & at just over three years old I am the only person he has to get it for him. Maybe after we see the specialist we will have more knowledge of what is going on down there. So as a treat I allowed him to sleep in Mommy's bed. Hoping that he would relax & feel better. It's a treat & hopefully not forming a bad habit. So now you know why...

Poor little guy. Good to get it checked out, though I hope it isn't anything that he won't outgrow in the not-too-distant future.
BTW, I love this picture.

i love reading your posts!my little nico has the same pooping issues so i feel your pain. let me know what the doc says. i use benefiber and when the poop gets really bad i put some mineral oil in the chocolate milk (yes i use chocolate milk too!) hope all is well, we won't be able to make it to the rest of mops because both of my kids ended up with mono and the doc doesn't think it's a good idea to leave them anywhere for a month to make sure their spleens don't get hurt. that's great the kids are in preschool. i've been debating about spending the $$ too but i know it would be good for them and great for me! glad to hear yours are enjoying it!karen :)

I was reading your blog about the bathroom issue. My 3 year old has the same problem. He would hold his poop in for over a week, and then be in such agony. When he finally did go poop he would be so heartbreaking. We finally went to the Cincinnati Children's Hospital, and he is now doing better and is even potty trained. He is on Miralax everyday. At the beginning of his treatment, he was on 2 exlax and 3 dosages of miralax a day, it was terrible. I hope everything gets better.
