So, do you think public discussions of my daughters BMs will cause her to be a drunk in college. Is this what drives people to therapy? Well, I guess I will just have to take that risk.

Daphne hasn't pooped in days. She is constipated. She probably is on her hunger strike because she has a belly full of bowel. That is a real condition by the way. A belly full of bowel often requires surgery. We had to discuss this in one of my classes because it happens to people who are tube-fed. I even saw an x-ray of belly full of bowel. Yucko. But, I don't think that it is THAT serious for Daphne. The problem really is that I don't want to take her anywhere right now because sometime VERY soon she is going to let go of that bowel in a fast and furious way. I really don't want to be at Baby Gap, in the library, or in the car when it happens. So, we will just sit and wait.

Daphne's poop has become a normal topic of conversation around here. We often discuss it in detail. The best thing is when we stick our noses in the area around her bottom to see if she has a "poopy diaper". I promise you all that is something I NEVER thought I would do. And I think that is intimate. I can't imagine what kinds of horrors I will face down when we start potty training.

Don't you think that Belly Full of Bowel would be a great name for a punk rock group? Am I a big nerd for saying punk rock group?
