coaxing out the poo

The little one poos about every other day. On pooing days, I spend a fair amount of time holding an uncomfortable baby while he wriggles around to find the right position for his intestines to work the poo out. Sometimes, I can let the bouncy seat do the work. Its pretty effective in shaking out the poo. Some days, we really have to work at it though. Like when I've eaten broccoli slaw the night before. It takes the better part of the day, many position changes and several bouts of pooing to find relief at last. After long sessions of wriggling, I find myself talking to the poo, cheering it on. Come on poo. Come on out. Get on out here. Let's go, poo. Hurry it up. I am the cheerleader of the poo.
