AH THE LOVE OF CANDY!

So it was another great day today for us Ballards!
parker of course did not want to go to school but of course went and made his bed so he could get the tootsie roll, and off to school so he could eat it when he got home..
i am tellin you guys it is really a great way to get them to make a bed AND go to school..it works for me and they only get it on school days....
so aubrey sounds like a little boy today poor thing! she had the croup the worst and it is catching up to her. it is really hilarious to hear her laugh or even cry:)
** i need some suggestions on something that might not affect everyone***

aubrey has decided she does not want to poop! she is almost 4 well in feb she will be and has been potty trained since she turned 3 and now she has reverted to diapers... she will go pee in the potty but refuses to poop she says it will hurt and tries to hold it. so like every 3 hours she gets some on her undies! i am sooo sick of rinsing undies in the toilet!! she will finally go like 7 days of trying to hold it screams bloody murder when she finally pushes it out accidentally...i am really scared and sad for her and decided to get an enema last night ............well....... i felt really bad giving it to her but it made those 2 BIG buggers come out but really fast! so i am not sure how i feel about those things so any ideas from you guys would help cause i am NOT going to buy diapers for her again but yet i am soooo sick of buying underwear!
i have tried the eating a TON of fruit, juice and buying the cutest underwear she just cant seem to go!! any ideas let me know.....

Matt is yet again in Moab on a "business trip" LOL...i love that he calls it that when he goes to just have fun...although sometimes he is stuck fixing peoples jeeps and buggies that they built...anyway so i am left alone for the holiday with a house full of sick kids along with myself so we are going to be a lot of lazy people this weekend ! i hope everyone has a happy holiday!!!

My friend Becky had that same problem with her little girl.... You need to call me. I don't feel right blogging about poop!

I am so sorry to hear about the poop situation. Two of my girls have the same thing. But sad thing is they have had it since they were born. If you need suggestions give me a call. But they arent instant suggestions. Good Luck!

Oh Steph...Thats my 3rd kiddo. We're still fighting it. The whole grains help but she just doesn't drink enough water. So I've taken to flavoring her water with stevia (lemon flavored). They do make root beer flavored, orange flavor and more. I've also given her a half dose of metamucil. This seems to help sometimes as well. I'm still working with her. Enema's are the worst! I had to give my first kiddo one when she was two...she was really sick with the flu and the result was being backed up. Anyway, try cutting out all sugar from her diet, this may also help. #3 child is getting better but if her diet changes or she eats too much sugar, it just goes back to being a problem and she will hold it because of the fear of it hurting. Hang in there girl!
