Henry James: Medical Oddity

For the past two weeks Henry has been pooping green turds. Not just regular green. We are talking a brilliant and shimmering green -- almost glowing like lime green playdough or kryptonite. My initial theory of eating a ton of playdough now seems unlikely. My next hunches are tapeworm or eating too much squash and other healthy vegetables. Educated or uneducated medical opinions are currently being accepted.

Henry enjoys a train ride from Kaptain Kirby's Express as two clowns stand in the distance. This was a part of the festivities from the recent Ki-Chi-Saga Days in Chisago City. There was also a disease ridden petting zoo and some huge inflatable slides and that kind of stuff.




Mama takes Violet and Henry for a ride with Kaptain Kirby.



This is an old picture from Henry's birthday bash. Auntie Em made Henry a sweet robot costume.




Henry also enjoys dressing up as a bodybuilding pirate. He excels at mischief and general skullduggery. I think they just call it the terrible twos because it sounds better. It should actually be the terrible threes. Below, the toilet paper roll serves as his telescope.

Lately, Henry has been ending up sleeping in our room nearly every night which is getting pretty old. Henry also got a much needed haircut from Poik this weekend.

We got two new goats -- Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. I have some pictures on my other computer. I will try to get some up on the next post.

Violet is walking all over the joint now and is starting to jibber jabber and talk more.

Drinking Everclear can turn your feces green. You might want to check in on his daycare.

But tom, I thought that was only during Hooch for the Homeless family charity events?

I, too, am sick of Kirk ending up in our bed nearly every single night. Buddy. You've got your own bed. It's getting crowded in here.

Tom -- The stumbling, the belligerent behavior, the green turds... it's all making sense now. He's drunk, dammit.

The parents are always the last to know. It's sad.

Does your Henry have a fixing for purple kool-aid, popcicles, or other Barney colored foods? The culprit might be FDA Blue #5 and dye-lake red. Turns out that when metabolized in sufficient quantity, the blue dye combines with bile, and forms a brilliant green. We ran into this after my Henry had Rotovirus and he was chugging a lot of grape Pedialyte.

Kate, I think you are basically right. We have narrowed it down to a fruit snack bender. I think he was even sneaking them without us knowing. We found a cache of wrappers in the wood pile. He is a sneaky little guy. Wierd, weird stuff.
