Over 40 mama — Adventures in poop, patience, and first-time parenthood

Thanks to some great sleuth work by mama pajama, we’re pretty sure mz bean is teething.  That would explain the tenfold increase in stratospheric screaming, her inability to get to sleep, AND *ta-da* the glistening poo-poos.  Somewhere, ages ago, I remember reading that the copious amounts of saliva generated whilst teething can really change the viscosity of poo-poo.  Isn’t that awesome? Well, not for the kid, really. But it’s awesome that someone figured that out.

‘Course her sleep schedule – the precious couple o’ weeks of 8 continuous hours – is now kaput.
