Lately Scotland (my little princess) has decided that plating in her own poop in a very effective way to get me to change her diaper in a hurry. Although this is true, it is still disgusting! So the other day she had an especially bad diaper which she wiped all over her legs and shirt. I came into the room, smelled an awful smell and knew immediately what had happened. I looked at Scotland and in a very frustrated voice said, "SCOTLAND! Playing in your poop is NOT aloud!!!" I kind of had to giggle in my head after hearing what had just come out of my mouth. After this I started to think of all the things I have to tell my kiddos that I NEVER thought I would have to tell anyone! Here are a few examples. "Gabe, don't pretend to eat your brother..." "Landon, don't hit your brother with a hammer, that's not nice..." "Landon, finish your cookie and THEN you can have more salad..." "Gabe, don't lick the mirror in the bathroom..." "Scotland, PLEASE stop sticking your finger in my belly button..." "Ezra, don't sit on your brother's face..." "Scotland! Stop eating stuff out of the garbage!" "Landon, don't eat popcorn off the floor (at the circus)..."
Yeah... who would have thought! I'm sure there will be many more in the years to come. If my boys take after Aaron at all it will be things like, "Don't steal all the balls from the Dairy Queen ball pit even if you ARE going to return them..." "Don't open your car door and hang out while driving on the freeway, that's just not safe..." "PLEASE don't jump out of a moving train..." etc.
