Motherhood 101, part 2

Okay, I'm still not very good at blogging. I wanted to make one big post with all of these photos in it, but the blog will only let me upload so many photos at a time, and then they all have to stay in order (I can't figure out how to rearrange them on the page). Sooooo these next few posts are really all part of my "Motherhood 101" post. I'll just break it up so it's easier for me to figure out. :)


POOPING IS FOR THE BIRDS, part 2


I decided to help Joshua poop by feeding him some prunes:




This is a very small jar of prunes. 3 ounces, in fact. I fed this to him over the course of 2 meals along with his other food. And about 8 hours after the first prune feeding, this was the result:





A onesie full of poop!!! (And yes, it smeared all the way up his back and arms when I took it off. Bathtime followed shortly thereafter....for both of us.)





A sinkful of poop!!! (And yes, I discovered after filling the sink with poop that the drain was slow. I ended up cleaning the poop chunks out of the sink after it "drained" the poopwater out. Gross.)




But in the end, a clean onesie-- thanks to the modern miracle of Dreft stain remover-- and a much happier Joshua! (Although he continued to have diarrhea for the next few days.) WARNING: PRUNES ARE POTENT. FEED TO YOUR CHILD AT THEIR (AND YOUR OWN) RISK.

You know what's weird? We gave Kyle prunes a few times, and they did absolutely nothing for him. He liked the way they tasted, though.
Joshua is so cute! Isn't it amazing how they seem to learn new things every day?
