Today was a bad day as far as this is concerned. It was pretty much none stop from shortly after she woke until shortly before she went to bed. Today was a busy day for us as well. It was the 43rd week she attented her little gym class. She has ALWAYS loved this environment and participated fully in the programs and activities. Today she was participating but would stop frequently to ” cross her legs”.  At one point while the instructor was blowing bubbles she just sat down on the floor ( indian style ) wasn’t doing it but it was not typical of her to not want to play with the bubbles! Was she tired? Yes, a little but no more than normal.

I purposely kept her awake after so she would sleep for the babysitter later on in the early afternoon. So, she con’t with the behavior to the point where, for the first time ever, I had to tell a none family member about the disorder. My brother-in-law almost called 911 the last time he had her ( prior to knowing all the details ) because she remained on the floor with this posturing and wouldn’t respond to him in any way. Anyway I left for my appointments and when I returned I found that she had taken a short nap and woke crying, cranky and saying ” poopy out ” con’t full blown with this behavior to it’s none stop intensity and had FOUR bowel movements in a 3hr time frame. Even after I arrived at the house she still con’t with the behavior.

Once home she still con’t with the behavior then the same thing. She starting saying “poopy out” and had yet three more  crying/screaming fit’s with the passing of her bowels. However, once she had a new diaper and all was done the behavior stopped. This is why I feel it’s also connected to the bowel movements and I wonder if she doesn’t have some sort of a GI disorder.
