What's in a Name (title change!)

Good morning! I just wanted to let you know that you'll be seeing this blog's title as What's Mom Say? instead of Whatdoyousay?  I know there are only three people who have ever read this, teehee!, but I think it may be time to add a few new readers, hence the less-confusing title!

Cheers to changing, like the leaves in fall!

Cheers to Mother's Day!

Here is to Moms everywhere!  Have a laugh on me, getting in some much-needed refreshing WHILE the kiddies are in the bath!  They are so funny talking about doing makeup themselves, all the time I crack not even the smallest smile!

Cheers to Moms multitasking everyday!

A MiraLax Moment

So at Gabe's 3 year Well Baby Checkup, Dr. C and I discussed constipation.  Poor Gabe has always had trouble with it and it has gotten more difficult to manage since he's become a big boy on the potty.  Dr. C told me to give him MiraLax and to experiment with the dosage so Gabe could go once a day, softly.  Now, as a mom with IBS, I am familiar with the product, and I think it is a miracle!  We started with half an adult dose (Dr. C said we may need a whole adult dose daily.).  Late in the afternoon of the third day, Gabe was playing in the kitchen.  He was nude, but I don't remember why...he doesn't often need a reason to be that way!...Gabe was trying to fart, he's such a boy!, then startled, cried, "I pooped!"  I ran over and asked, "What do you mean, you pooped?"  We both looked down and saw a huge plop of toddler poo right on the floor.  It was quite an alarming moment for both of us, one I'm sure neither of us will forget any time soon!  The lesson I took from this was to start with a much smaller dose of MiraLax for my little guy.  Because I want him to poop when he needs to, not when he's standing in the middle of the kitchen!!!
