Makes you think

“How often my fear and ambivalence are rooted in what somebody else may think. But I need not present my actions, my words, myself for somebody else's approval. And basing my decisions on somebody else's approval or making my own approval contingent on somebody else's only postpones what I really want.”

Everyone poops (part 2)

After months of trying to retrain Adam's recalcitrant colon with only minimal success, the pooping doctor has decided its time to take further action. First step is an abdominal x-ray to rule out (hopefully) Hirschsprung's disease. This is a disease in which portions of the intestine have no nerve endings and therefore can't push the poop along its merry way, causing a very unpleasant traffic jam. If it is Hirschsprung's, treatment may involve surgical remove of the ineffective part of the intestines -- doesn't that sound like fun?

If it isn't, he's going to refer us to a specialist. I'm hoping Adam can be toilet trained before high school.

Is it genetic?

On the plane to Florida, Adam said to the stewardess "Oh, you have beautiful legs!". She was charmed. I was mortified.

We saw the Radio City Christmas Show for the second time this Christmas and Adam got the DVD for Christmas. He has now informed me he likes the Rockettes legs and butts.

Where does he get this stuff? LOL! He certainly doesn't get it from me and I doubt Sister Enalyn discusses legs and butts much at daycare. I can remember him sitting in the stroller in a drugstore while we were waiting for a prescription and watching him reach out to squeeze some unsuspecting woman's rear. Is it just genetic? A male thing?
