Constipated...

[peggyfromwastate]

dog crap on the sidewalks. GRRRR. Makes me so mad. We have found the culprit in our neighborhood-- a teenage *dog walker*. My friend and I are constantly on the lookout for her to chew her out on this one. She has been conspicuously out of site since my friend saw her leaving a big pile of dog doo in the play area and started yelling at her...

and I don't know where my post went about the mom dropping the sippy cup contents in your stroller, but really? Why didn't she clean it up? I hope she was at least mortified.

The dog sh*t pissed me off. And I can tell that it was a big
dog. Grumble.

My stroller has been through a lot these past two days. The mom used my burpie to wipe up the tires on my stroller. And then she tried to dry dd's hair. Gasp! Don't go cleaning tires AND then my kid. Double grumble.

We all survived to tell the story though.

What a clueless mom.

My daughter is constipated right now (I think from her antibiotics for an ear infection) so I'm glad to hear this advice! Prune juice, here we come

Be forewarned, and make sure that diaper is on securely.

Really? I'd always found antibiotics to have the opposite effect! Start slowly with the prune juice, or you could have a serious mess on your hands (literally and figuratively).

Uh oh, Shakti & Alison... thanks for the warning! Maybe it wasn't the antibiotics? She had the flu at the same time as the ear infection so maybe it was the flu. I don't know, she's never had this problem before.

If she had the flu, she might be a little dehydrated and that would do the trick. My kiddos have always had looser stools after antibiotics kick in.

Dd was constipated again, and I gave her some leftover Gerber pureed prunes that I had. Holy crap, you guys. What a mess. She's very happy now, but just make sure you have those diapers on snuggly. I just spent a good hour de-poopifying her and her changing table.

LOL Good to know! Sorry for the mess you had to clean, but glad she's feeling better!

Just jumping on the prunes bandwagon over here. Big fan over here. BIG fan. They make for some crazy poops, but crazy poop is better than no poop.

Really messy! Sometimes I wish my dd was a ds, because there are SO many nooks and crannies. I had a 15-wipe cleanup the other day (+ or - a wipe or two). Ugh!
