"Listen earnestly to anything [your children] want to tell you, no matter what. If you don't listen eagerly to the little stuff when they are little, they won't tell you the big stuff when they are big, because to them all of it has always been big stuff." - Catherine M. Wallace

Have I created a monster?
I am a very detail oriented person. I like things to be organized, neat and tidy (that doesn't always happen though). Emma is also a very detail oriented, neat and tidy little 2 year old. As I was going about my morning workout and really starting to feel the benefits of it Emma came in and said..
Very matter of fact voice..."Mommy, I picked up the poop and flushed it".
I abruptly stopped my workout. "Where did you poop?"
"In my panties."
Deep sigh. "Where are you panties?"
Up Beat voice "In the bathroom!"
Fearing the worst I slowly walk towards the bathroom and find water all over the floor
"What's with all the water?"
Matter of fact voice "I washed out my panties!"
Thinking to myself... (Please not in the toilet) "Where?"
"In the bathtub!"
Thinking to myself... (Okay, at least I can scour that and she hasn't been playing in the potty).
"Good job sweetie, now go get some new panties"
"OKAY MOMMY!"
So a couple thoughts come to my head... Number 1: What 2 year old washes out their own poopy pants? Number 2: Why did she have to do it during my workout!? I wasn't done!
Seriously though, this whole thing put a big smile on my face. My life would be so dull without my little Emma. Isn't being a mom the best? Now I've got to go scrub the bathroom!

At least she tried to take care of it herself. She could've just left it in her underware and spread the love through-out the house. HA HA
Can she come teach my girls how to be more self sufficient?
