The siege has ended

All hostages were returned safely and a truce was reached.

The poop has returned and everyone in the house is happy again.

I had to resort to the thermometer trick. For those of you not in the know, that is a little trick they teach you at the pediatrician's office. You take an infant thermometer, coat it in vaseline and then try to take the temperature. You know, rectally.

It stimulates them to poop apparently. Last night, not so much. This morning, worked like a charm.

And there was a lot.

Oh, and we didn't feed him rice cereal last night. Further proving my suspicions that it was constipating him. So we're moving on to oatmeal, with the blessing of my pediatrician.

Nothing like a little whole grain and oats to get things moving.
