poop is usually a funny subject, but as parents it is an uphill battle. how do you get the little one to sit on the toilette? diaper money set aside, Mattan has a sensitive skin and Baboons are envious of him if we don't change him in time. he was doing very well till Taltal came along and regressed.
now when we ask him if he pooped he says no, always no. he said no the other day as well, but my nose detected something pre-flushed. i lifted his shirt for an inspection and saw the evidence gushing out from above the pants. i asked him if he is sure that he didn't poop and he reaches back with his hand and touches his back (which is usually poop-less), but not this time. he is alarmed by the unexpected material and i laugh, it is funny. i rush him up to the bathroom trying to avoid him touching my white shirt. i placed him on the sink and tried to carefully remove his shirt, bit to no avail. the material was filling his shirt and now the removal of the shirt smudged them all over his back, neck, hair and bits on both his arms. as hilarious a sight as the best Simpsons episode. he he was watching his mushy back in the mirror and complained about all the little its wanting to get them out. but still he resisted the bath, but i explained that he must use the shower, he does not like the shower in the bathtub, he likes the bath part of the dush, but not the combo, but a bath now would be a stinking sewage. so i washed him down and the bat was filled with bits and pieces.
after that i recorded his reaction and tried to have him explain what happened- the movie is here
(https://youtu.be/7pwALox9JW0)- movie should be available in 10 min
the next day when i asked him if he pooped. he still said no.
festival season is going on.
yesterday we went to a farm, then boarded a tractor trailer, holding a refusing to be held child and riding for a minute or two.the fun continued with a barn filled with hay and slides, Mattan went none stop up and down, walking inside huge hoses and sliding down. at one location they had three slides next to each other and three kids got on ready to slide, Mattan slid over a girl, sat in-front of her and had the gull to push her back then took his sweet time become sliding down.
after the hay, he played in a mock tractor, got in to a pool of large corn kernels and kept hurling the kernels out of the pool, the running in and out of the kids corn maze, and more sliding on very long slides in the woods ending with a pony ride. great time for him and fun for us chasing him up and down with a beautiful views of the fall
Last week i was solo with both poop makers and we went to another farm (so many festivals here...great) this one was a 19th century farm. first Mattan painted a pumpkin, he gets his drawing skills from me, the pumpkin looks like a purple mess. then we hiked around the farm and in various old barns and houses, local vendors were displaying ancient wares. one lady was making brooms from wheat, from the stems. mattan enjoyed sweeping a bit. then he totally ignored the black smith (What is wrong with him?) , the horse drawn carriage scared him, he didnt go into the big corn maze , despite my requests and was pushing the stroller all the time (and I carried Tal). we saw a pottery presentation, some chickens, goats and flowers. one guy was showing games from 2 centuries ago, all made of woods, a wheel with a stick to role it. things with horses hooves. i tried getting mattan to play but he cared only for the stroller. this guy's display was somewhat over the trail and Mattan tried to push it up. he couldn't do it and i helped him, he didn't like that so he pushed the stroller down back to the trail and then pushed it up again all on his own. we walked back after this 2 hours farm walk and enjoyed fresh lemonade and locally made flavored milk (orange, berries, grape and some others) mattan sampled 4 sips and liked them all so i got a bottle.
at home, when i tried to get him the orange milk, he rejected and asked for the red milk (4%) , if you want orange flavored milk, we have a bottle.
cheers
p.s the movie Mr turner, a slow English quality drama, good acting by the guy who played the rat dude in Harry potter (he did not need make up) . watched it while writing this and may have impacted my style. it is here by recommended
