a jab, a wedding and a birthday

its 25 past 10 on a sunday evening... junior is throwing one of his "i dont wanna sleep" crying fits and THE WIFE is trying to put him to sleep....

we were at the docs two thusdays back, eighth march.... junior have this monthly injections for his 5 in 1 thingy... he is suppose to have a jab every month till he is six months... not only is today juniors jab day, its also one of me oldest friends wedding day and its also THE WIFEs birthday tomorrow... so to kill many birdies with one stone, we will have juniors jab in the morning, a lunch at some place nice to celebrate THE WIFEs birthday and follow by a reception at me friends wedding later in the afternoon... not too bad considering i only have to take an off day from work.... hmmmm....... and if THE WIFE is reading this, i love you baby, happy birthday....

we got to the docs at about 11 in the morning... not too many people on a weekday morning.. this time round i saw quite a few new borns, makes junior looks not so small after all... i dont see any kids with cough,colds running noses and sneezing fits... we took juniors weight and height, he is about 7.6kgs... before long, juniors name was called..

doc: hello, what can i do for you today?
me: well... he hasnt been moving his bowels for the last ten days... and his fart is very smelly... is it normal for kids to not pass motion for such a long stretch?
doc: well, its not unheard of, i have come across kids who have gone 8, 9 days without passing motion... is he feeding okay? sleeping okay?
THE WIFE: yah..
doc: he seems to be putting on weight, he is following the chart very nicely, i am very satisfied with his growth... i dont think its anything to worry about... but if you are concern, we do have something to help lossen his stools.. you want to try that?
me: sure..
doc: i will show you once, then you can do it at home when he gets stuffed up again..
me: okay..

the doc proceed to turn junior around, pushed a tube with a long neck up juniors little behind and squeezed... i dont think junior liked it, he turned around and give me the look.... i dont blame him, personally i havent come across anyone who like being poked in the behind, although i never did actively go around and ask... hmmm

the doc follow the tube thingy with a jab on juniors thigh....

we made the next appointment in a months time... hopefully, we wont have do that tube thingy to junior again.... and before we left, junior pooed... all ten days worth of poo in one go.. thats how powerful the tube is... hmmm....
