We are getting excited for Meade's birthday next weekend! I have secured a petting zoo that will bring barnyard babies for us to see and pet. So exciting! I have been starting to plan a little more of a fair theme to go with the zoo. We have Uncle Ricky's cotton candy maker and I bought a popcorn maker - why not? I am sure that will get use around here well after the birthday party. I hope friends will ask to use it, too. Might as well get all it is worth!
Today I also took Meade to the urologist to address her incontinence. She did really well. Voided and emptied her bladder, pooped on command, and did fine with the ultrasound of her bladder. The MD has us doing a poop chart as she suspects that the pooping may be the culprit. We put milk of magnesia in her bottle/milk for the first couple years of her life due to pooping issues and we stopped doing it a couple of years ago because we thought she was pooping fine. What we didn't know was that it was around the same time we potty trained and COVID hit. We had thought that the incontinence issues were stemming from COVID and the fact that we couldn't be with her at every moment to prompt her to use the bathroom. The pediatrician said that she was fine and that there is no need to get checked unless it persists. At almost 5, it is definitely time.
So, here's to knowing all about poop and being able to label it 1 to 5 on a whim!
