Eve and Ezra have been taking swim lessons. Swim lesson nights are so horrible for poor Evan. As soon as I tell Eve and Ezra to suit up Evan runs to get his suit on and pack his swimming bag. He has tried many times to blend in with his siblings as they head to their teachers. Does he honestly think we are that out of it that we wouldn't miss him? Then he cries and plasters himself to the glass watching them have all the fun. The last ten minutes of swim lesson the kids get free time. Which is basically party time. This is usually when we head to the edge of the pool so that the kids know exactly where to find us. This week after seeing Evan suited up and us holding him back from jumping into the pool for a month straight the swim instructors took pity on Evan and let him in during free time. I hope that they know he now has that expectation.
So I am laughing pretty hard about my day right now. I spent most of my day changing poopy diapers, poopy clothes, pretty much dealing with poop. I think I changed more diapers (Evan is the only one in diapers) than when I had a newborn. It was ridiculous. Not too far into the day, probably only 2 poopy diapers, Evan started pointing to his tummy and saying ouchie. He even made me get a band-aid to put on his tummy thinking that would make it feel better. He started off the day with some apple juice, which does usually clean him out. So I thought okay no more apple juice for you today. But still the thunder down under continued and the diapers continued to pile up outside the house. The poor boy couldn't nap because there was something seriously going on with him... it sounded horrible! So by the end of the day Ian and I have to figure out what is going on... is this the flu? is is something he ate? So we started analyzing the few things that he had today. And then I started thinking about something that I cleaned up today. I cleaned up an empty container of IceBreakers Duos. Wait a second wasn't that container brand new this morning during prophy? I double check with Ian... why yes it was. A quick google of the sweeteners in there reveals that they have maltitol in it and the google results for it are not good. A bell goes off in my head. A couple months ago there was this post on facebook about the Haribo sugar free gummy bears and their extreme laxative effects. The amazon reviews are hilarious. If Evan could write an amazon review of Icebreakers Duos I can just imagine... needless to say I am cancelling my subscribe and save for them. I think there has to be a better treat for prophy day than that.
