WARNING: Post is about poop

An update on Elena's potty training:Elena started using her little potty in December and was doing great at initiating use and not having accidents. But a couple of weekends ago she started having poop anxiety. Due to painful poops, she's been withholding which then causes her poops to be larger and harder thus becoming even more painful. After discussing the issue with her doctor, she's being encouraged to eat high fiber fruit and drink high fiber juice (the prune juice didn't go over well, but she's liking the peach and apricot nectar). Plus, she's being slipped mineral oil in beverages and on sandwiches. She's still a bit nervous about pooping, but they are slipping out much easier. And yesterday she even went poop on the potty! Yay Elena! So, we went to the store and she got Sheriff from Disney's Cars. We're hoping she'll keep up the good work on the potty and we can avoid medication and enemas...
