The Psychiatrist

We took Sophie to the child psychiatrist on Tuesday. It was a very pleasant appointment with the final diagnosis being that nothing is wrong with her and she'll grow out of the whole pooping thing.

He also suggested the following:

1. That she no longer wear pullups, "Because that's like giving her permission to poop in her pants."
2. That we switch her from laxatives to stool softeners,"Have you ever taken a laxative? It's like Whoa!" (makes face like he's going to poop his pants).
3. That maybe the reason she doesn't always relate to her peers is because they're dopes, "One of my teenage patients said, 'I just can't stand stupid people.' And I told her, 'Yeah, and there are a LOT of them.'"

So she's back in undies and she's really excited.  She's making a genuine effort, but that said, we've re-initiated the shit sink.
