tinkle tinkle ellie is a great big star


setting the stage: scott and momma were in the kitchen making dinner, enjoying some wine and snacks, and celebrating the fact that all three of our children were in another room... AWAY for the first time in what feels like decades. suddenly we heard a herd of elephant on the stairs... children approaching.

ellie: buggy went pee pee all by herself on the potty.

delaney: yeah!

m & d: really? (looking at buggy who is dressed completely in a different outfit than when both children went upstairs)

ellie: i put her on the potty and she went pee pee and then i wiped her and then i put her diaper on and she got dressed.

delaney: yeah!

m & d: why is she wearing your pajamas, ellie?

ellie: oh, because she wanted to be a big girl like me.

m & d: oh.

we then proceeded to take buggy's picture, adjust the diaper that was slightly twisted, and hand out high-fives to both girls... you know, because our 5 year old has decided to potty train our baby who isn't quite yet two. and baby under two, seems to respond well to her very involved sister.


FOR HIRE: 5 year old potty trainer, no charge in exchange for room and board (just kidding).
