I guess I process things in small bits. :) With everything we talked about it will take me a while! The information is invaluable to to and I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and knowledge!<BR/><BR/>LOVEAnitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592595769485958017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-2270565528398291072008-07-18T17:46:00.000-04:002008-07-18T17:46:00.000-04:00One more idea...it's not one for "ladies" of which...One more idea...it's not one for "ladies" of which I am not. I was thinking more about the tootin' thing. One thing that did not work was calling Tara "Toots McGee" but it was fun for us :) ha ha. But one thing that DID work and I should probably have done this comment anonymously so don't judge...fart on her. Seriously. Fart on her. I think that was the straw that broke the camel's back for us. I'm not much of a farter mcstarter, but I can let out a good ol' belch any time. I remember one time, at a restaurant, Tara decided to let out a stinker, so I made like I was going to whisper in her ear, cupped the hand and let out a nice juicy burp in her cute little ear. Then I said with a super smile, "That was in exchange for your juicy toot."<BR/><BR/>Later that night, when JB was tucking Tara in to bed, he let out a loud smelly one and said, "You don't mind if I do it around you do you? Whew! That stunk!"<BR/><BR/>We did it a few more times after that spontaneously. Worked like a charm.Torinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992090842674056507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-19144274271493756492008-07-18T12:13:00.000-04:002008-07-18T12:13:00.000-04:00Thank, Lisa.

She held her poop which is what made her fart like crazy. But it was like she would save those stinkers for us when she was near us and then let em rip. And they would stink like death. And when I say held her poop, that girl could hold it for weeks. It got to the point where we were worried she would rupture her colon. But she eventually let that control tactic go after we quit giving it attention and encouraged her to hold it more (in our case, doing the opposite of what is your gut reaction nearly always works :). Hope you get your little stinkbomb figured out :)Torinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992090842674056507noreply@blogger.com
