U-no-poo

U-no-poo! The constipation sensation that is gripping the nation! Well, it is not gripping the nation, but it is gripping Monty. (for those of you who wonder, i have not gone mad, it's Harry Potter reference).
Monty is having some issues. He has never in particularly liked going to the potty for number 2 and in December he started holding it in. He just refused to go, till he had a bunch of bricks in his lower belly. We finally gave him some laxative around Christmas and though that got things moving a little bit, it was not till Wednesday that he started pooping round the clock. Obviously we have since stopped giving him the laxative. In the last three days he has pooped in his pants about 10 times - all to be cleaned up by Leland, because I had to go back to work on Wednesday. I guess Monty figured that since he was now pooping in his pants all the time, he might as well pee in his pants too... Needless to say, we are doing laundry constantly. We really hope that once school starts again on monday he'll snap out of this regression phase and go back to using the potty. Otherwise... we might upset his teacher a lot.

Just to show how cute he can be when he doesn't dirty his pants...

The pictures look great! I'm guessing that the face paint was to look like a basketball?!? Hope all is well over there and that you are having a good time...it sure looks like the boys are doing well.
