Poo and Peas

So the Little Man has been just a wee bit constipated lately, so we took him to the Dr to see what she suggested. I mean, we have changed his diet (less dairy, more water, fruits, bran flakes andother types of fiber). He really likes beans, baked beans, refried beans, whatever. He eats them up. The Dr. suggested trying MiraLax, so we are. Hopefully it helps and we can slowly wean him off of it. Poor baby. He also has an ear infection, so hopefully we can get that cleared up and we can get back to sleep at night. Mom is tired.

So one food that is supposed to help with constipation is peas. Well, Little Man has never been a big fan of peas. Until this week that is. We gave him a few, knowing he wouldn't eat them, but low and behold, he ate all of the peas we cooked (only like 10 of them, and they were covered in cheese, but still!) This is the kid who would separate the peas from other food in his mouth and spit just the peas out. So we though, that was a fluke, so the next night we made him more peas, plain this time. He ate almost all of them. Almost a half of a cup of peas. That is a lot of peas. So yay, he likes peas, now we just need to get him eating green beans and broccoli. Especially since we cook those more often than peas.
