Blue Poo

Last week Keelen and I went to visit his other grandparents in Idaho. We both had a great time. We went to the Zoo and Discovery Center, rented paddle boats and played at the park. He had a wonderful time and I got a chance to get to know his grandparents better.

Normally Keelen doesn’t eat junk food. The sugar just spins him up and I normally end up paying the price. But, this was a special occasion so I didn’t fuss too much about it.

In order to get him out of the zoo without throwing a big fit, I bribed him with ice cream. We went to TCBY’s and he had some kind of bright blue ice cream that actually turned his lips and tongue blue. He thought it was cool and I thought “Oh great….that’s just not going to wash off!!”

Yesterday he comes running out of the bathroom yelling “Grandma…Grandma come here…come here…look at this!!!” I was thinking “Oh God now what!” He took my hand and led me back to the bathroom. He goes “Look Grandma look!” pointing in the toilet. I looked and saw the brightest blue poop I had ever seen in my life. Actually it was the only blue poop I had ever seen. It was this color of BLUE ! I was a bit concerned at first. It took me a few minutes to figure out what had caused that, then I remembered….the ice cream. It was just as blue coming out and it was going in.

I’m not sure we should really be eating stuff like that. But I guess if the FDA says it’s OK then it must be OK….right?
