Maybe popcorn is the answer

I watched an amazing thing happen yesterday. My daughter gorged on popcorn. She’s didn’t just eat a lot… She ate so much that I had to leave the movie to refill the popcorn tub. We took the family to see Ratatouille. It’s a really sweet movie… But I don’t really think it’s the kind of movie that would have engaged Jordan that much. It has a real story line, there isn’t that much super-silly stuff in it. It’s just a really great story. Fantastic animation. And apparently, AWESOME popcorn.

So after Jordan ate and ate and ate… This morning, the diaper was the most normal I’ve seen in more than a month. A month! So apparently she needed an obsessive amount of fiber to help clear things up.

I don’t really want to jinx things… But I was going to write how it looks like her intestinal issues were improving. After the popcorn incident, I think I’m comfortable to say that she might be okay. I’m still skeptical about returning to dairy products. I’ll put that in the wait-and-see category for when her blood test comes back.

Anyway. Along with going to a movie, Jordan got to go to a pool party where she started getting comfortable in the pool with me. She also got to test out her new bike chariot. It will be a fun addition to our outdoor time during our vacation. I did learn that her bike helmet wasn’t put on tight enough. Woops. Lesson learned.
