Recently I posted about my frustration with Janna's refusal to poop on the potty. And it was just that - a refusal. She knew she needed to poop and she knew where the poop needed to be.In the last 7 days, Miss Janna has pooped on the potty 8 times!! The trick? Candy corn! Well, that and a healthy dose of pediatrician-prescribed Miralax (turns out that Janna has the same problem Elliott had when she was 2 - constipation is a bitch). Since her poop was too big and solid to come out easily on the potty, she would wait until she was all cozy in her bed for a nap, and let it work its way out. Which was all well and good. Except that it really wasn't good. She was so full of poop that she wasn't able to eat, and when she finally did poop she was in misery. Her poor bottom was a disaster. But the last week has been wonderful! No tummy troubles, no blistered (and bleeding) heiney...no nothing. Except a very happy Little Girl (and Mommy)!! If 2 pieces of candy corn (which is absolutely disgusting stuff in my book) are going to keep her wanting to poop on the potty - then she can have it - I'm not above bribing!!

OHHH! We had a bout of that too! Glad it "worked out". ;)
Candy corn is some nasty stuff! But maybe I should try and bribe Cooper with it just to pee on the potty!
Yeah Janna!!!
Kids should come with a handy little instruction book. Knowing that candy corn will help a child poop on the potty is vital info! They need to be working on that technology!!!
