Guest guest Posted October 11, 2000 Report Share Posted October 11, 2000 Lynda, you ought to adapt this as a Newsletter article or filler. I'm sure a lot of branches would like to use it.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2000 Report Share Posted October 11, 2000 Well as my sister can post a long message about small boys and poos, I thought I would join in and let you know what goes on here. won't sit on the toilet/potty to poo, but if I notice him straining, I race to get the potty, pull his trousers and pants down and hold the potty behind him to catch it. He gets quite distressed by the whole pooing concept, so I have to encourage him along. It goes something like this... Me: " Push " Him: " I can't push " Me: " Yes you can - one big push - I can see it coming out " Him: " Waaahhhh! " Me: " Come on, good boy, you're doing really well " Him: " Oh (sob), I've done a wee wee now " Me: " Don't worry about that, I'll mop that up, just concentrate on pushing... " Him: " Boo hoo, no I don't WANT to " Me: " Here it comes, here it comes... ooh, looks like a big one... well done, clever boy! " Him: " What is it? " Me: " It's a lovely poo, congratulations " Anyone fancy me as a birthing partner?

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 DD2 describes hers as Hooog (as in enormous and certainly well out of proportion of what go in at the top) or as 'chocolate buttons', sometimes brown sometimes white!!!! DD1 (age 13)refuses to tell me what hers are like. Lesley ---------------- After DS3 has done a poo, he always tells me what it looks like. Usually a crocodile for some strange aged nearly 3 reason!

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 DS4 is finishing off as I type, and I must get a casserole in the oven as it's swimming at 4.30 and there won't be another chance if the boys are going to eat at a reasonable hour. --------- LOL, Lynda, though you could save time by not taking your casserole swimming!
