So, I have been sick this week. Don't know if it is due to the pregnancy or a pesky virus floating around our house.
The other day Bethany (age 8) came over to spend the night with Kaylee (age 6). I was quite excited. I thought this would keep my other two busy while I just lay low. About 8:30 I hear the kids stirring. Chloe the two year old is always the first up at our house in the summer time. Then I hear the other two girls in Chloe's room, through the baby monitor. I hear Chloe grunt as they get her out of bed. But all goes well. They are all quite happy to be together. And Chloe seems to be fine.
So I am laying in bed with my eyes closed trying to ignore the annoying reminder of the sunshine that today is here, when I see the girls tip-toeing in the room. Bethany puts Chloe up on the changing table in our bedroom. They tell Chloe to be quiet, "mommy is sleeping".
Bethany whispers to Chloe, "Did you peepee or poopoo?" Chloe announces loudly, "I stinky, I peepee." Bethany and Kaylee look at each other with relief. Just as Bethany begins to undo the sticky sides of the diaper, Bethany looks at Kaylee and says, "WHAT IF SHE'S WRONG." They both look at each other like... you do it.....no, you do it. Finally after a stare down, Bethany looks in the diaper. Sure enough Chloe was telling the truth this time. And they happily change Chloe's wet diaper and tip-toe out of the room.
You know they are just so funny. They want to be "grown up" so bad and do things like change diapers and wear make-up. But the childlike qualities seep out even when they are trying their very best to be something "all grown up".

Hey Amy,
I found this on Katie's blog. I love your posts - keep up the good work!
I'm really impressed that they actually changed the diaper. That would not have happened at my house. Ethan would throw a fit and scream if Emily tried to help him change his pants, and she would never think of trying it! ;-)
