Update in Haiku

Lots of poop today.

We're back to the drawing board.

Dumb cone enema.

Another Experiment Ended and Update on an Ongoing Experiment

Back in January, I decided I couldn't use my iPhone anymore. My fingers could not handle the touch screen; I was simply too old school to go without a keyboard. So I went back to the Blackberry. This time it was a Blackberry Torch, with a keyboard and touchscreen. However, I soon realized that I couldn't ditch my iPhone. I still carried it around (without service -- only using wifi) as an iPod for my iTunes library, and all the cool apps. I needed it everytime I ran to track my distance and listen to my podcasts (blackberry podcasts don't compare). Then Tim lost his iPhone in June, so I let him use my old one until it was time for his phone renewal. At that point, I realized how much I still used my iPhone, and how silly it was to carry around a Blackberry for phone and e-mail, and an iPhone for everything else. So I bugged Tim relentlessly, and as soon as his phone was eligible for an upgrade, he got a new 3Gs. Wish we could have gotten the iPhone 4, but it wasn't in the cards for this upgrade.

He realized that my old iPhone had more memory, so we switched back (I don't have nearly as much music on mine), so I essentially got a new iPhone this week! Yes, it has less space than my old one, but I didn't use the space anyway. This one is shiny and new, and despite my best efforts, I love shiny and new things!!!

So, in sum, I <3 my iPhone. While my Blackberry switch might count as another failed technological experiment, my renewed love for my iPhone makes it a success.

PLUS...

Very little poop in the diaper yesterday.  I was expecting some, b/c we didn't get much with the enema Sunday night. But using a few tweaks from this video, I added soap and warmer water to the the enema, and insisted that Oli let me massage his belly a little (he does not like it!). I was rewarded with what seemed like a successful trip to the potty (if you know what I mean), and no poop in the diaper this morning. We'll see what we get today. I have them tracking it at school, too. Lucky them. Fingers crossed for another successful day.
