Rory Update #21

Rory has been taking swimming lessons.

I have not gotten to the pool to see her yet, but based on her performance in the bath, I have not seen any improvement, except she does not tend to melt down (looks frantic and starts vigorously sucking on the washcloth with her tiny little fists clenched) when I pour water over her head.

But the biggest "issue" with her swimming lessons has to do with poop. She's moved to having a weekly massive bowel-blow-out. She stores the poop and just like mom and dad do every Friday, she "takes out the trash".

That means Friday is Swim Day and Poop Day. Colleen, who accompanies her to swimming lessons lives in fear she will fill her pants whilst paddling in the pool.

Pee in the pool = ok
Poop in the pool = Bad scene

We feel her pants wrapped in "swimming diaper" would contain a normal sized deposit, but when she's stored it up for a week, nothing can contain the volume.
