learning to relay information according to priority and significance
Madison ran past me a few moments ago saying that she had to go poop! had to go poop! had to goooo pooooop! Needless to say a minute or so later she was calling for the cleanup brigade. Our conversation went thus:
Madison: Mom, first I had to go poop and I was pushing in the basement!
Me: Uh…
Madison: No, wait! First I was in the basement and then I said I had to go poop and then I was pushing!
Me: Well…
Madison: No, wait! I was in the basement and I was pushing and…
Me: You shouldn’t push until you get up here.
Madison: No, I didn’t. But when I did I was downstairs and look! I got poop on my fingers!
Me: Yack! Eww! (wipe wipe) You know you might have led with that.
Madison: Yeah, but I had to go fast, Mom, you know.
Me: Don’t touch my shirt, you have poop on your fingers.
Madison: Yeah, but it’s only a little! Look!
Me: Excellent.

Ewwww.
I was visiting my sister and my niece (who is 3 1/2) announced she had to go pee. My sister sent her to the bathroom to get the whole process started on her own and said she would be there in a second. As my sister rounds the corner in to the bathroom, I hear my niece say, “Mommy I’m peeing!” Do you think she managed to get her pants off and sit on the toilet? Not even close.
