The beach is for babies. Other babies.
July 6, 2012 | Category: four, I'm a Traveler
Cousin Parker: Hey Paul, the water is fantastic today! Let’s swim ALL DAY LONG! Because this is so much fun, OMGEEEEEE.
Paul: I am a Hoosier. We only have drought-like conditions in the summer, and no natural bodies of water for miles. This wet stuff scares me, and I would rather not go near it.
Also, I (Paul) haven’t pooped in six days. Leave me alone. And I’m sick of eating prunes and everyone discussing my bathroom habits.
*Paul suffered through his first day at the beach yesterday. If you want to read more, I blogged about it over at Babble, but this photo pretty much sums it up.

Poor Paul. Mean parents making him learn to embrace his West Michigan roots…

Of course, I have to throw out there a “natural” remedy to help the little man go about his poop business. You can mix 1/2 tsp unsulphured, blackstrap molasses (available at most grocery and health food stores) to a few ounce of water and have him drink it. The molasses has a bit of magnesium in it and it will help to get him moving. Have always done it with my kids and it always works.

Exact same thing happened to my little one when we started food, but the culprit was rice cereal. The only thing that helped was putting the tip of a thermometer inside his bum-hole for about a minute at diaper changes. It gets the muscles contracting and helps them go, but don’t worry it doesn’t hurt! It only goes in1/4-1/2 inch and just hold it there. Sounds gross but it’s the only way he’d go for a few days.
Hope he’s “regular” soon!
