Carrots, I tell you, carrots!!

The saga continues . . .

John had a bm at school today! It started in his underwear but finished in the toilet. I would say that's progress. They had him sit on the toilet for 30 minutes to accomplish the task (it would be a cold day in hell before he would sit on the pot at home for 30 minutes). They put a diaper on him after that because the laxative I gave him had made his poo quite soft and runny. I was very encouraged by this. It's a carrot, just when I think I'm going to give up, he dangles the carrot in front of my face.

Don't worry, the carrot didn't last for long. After we had been home for awhile I heard someone going to the bathroom. I thought it was Scott but it was John (surprising, I know, but he does go by himself on a rare occasion). He had on the diaper from school (by the way, diapers are very hard to pull down), underwear on top of that and his shorts. He had a hard time pulling up his shorts so he came and asked me to help. He had poo smeared on his back and underwear. I'm lucky it wasn't all over his legs. He decided to pee in the toilet but first he pooed in the diaper. Nice!

Don't worry, it gets better. We went for a little drive and when we got back he had poo on his shirt, up his back, on his shorts and oozing out of his diaper. Oh yea, there was also quite a bit in his car seat. Like I mentioned before, a little laxative goes a LONG way and I'm still quitting once school is out!




Side note: I dodged the bullet on the jury duty this week. I may get another summons for this month but I don't think it's likely. Whew!!
