Oh, poop5
Warning for childfrees - mommy posting ahead, gross kiddie poo stuff involved. Consider yourselves warned.
Timi’s a big girl by now. She considers the potty as passe’ as bright-pink leggings matched with an electric green jacket. Therefore, she usually goes to the toilet where her kiddie seat is and does her business there.
So it happened that a few days ago she forgot about herself while playing and when it was just a wee bit too late started screaming “Cacaaaaaa! Cacaaaaaaaaa!” while speeding to the bathroom. We lectured her a bit while she was sitting on the toilet, and she pouted then when that didn’t work, started weeping.
I went to get her some clean clothes and a wet napkin, then gave her the napkin to clean her thigh, which was a bit dirty after the events. She reached for her thigh with the napkin, then decided that she should wipe her nose. With the same napkin. We were fast enough to stop her right before the napkin touched the nose, but then suffered for a good quarter of an hour of hysterical giggle fits. Poor kid.
