Potty Training Update

NOTE: Contains material that may be unsuitable for adults with weak stomachs! So we took Noah to the dr. a couple of weeks ago and talked about his seeming inability to feel the need to poop and to control when he pees. He suggested a specialist, a pediatric gastroenterologist. So off we went, and when he did the exam on Noah he said Noah was chronically constipated. I never would have guessed, because believe me, he poops every day. But it turns out that he's not pushing out the poo (low muscle tone) and it's just kind of leaking out (sorry this is so gross). Anyway, he's got a (please excuse the pun) backlog in there. So this past weekend was the colon cleanse, he took large doses of Miralax and Senecot. And for the next month he takes a low dose at night. And guess what. Yesterday on his own he twice stood up and peed in the potty! He has almost never done that before. And he doesn't seem to need warm water to make him go anymore! All that fullness in his belly was interfering with his ability to make himself go. He peed again the "big boy way" this morning! Hallelujah, maybe after 5 years of potty training we are finally getting somewhere!
