L.J. recently dirtied his diaper right before falling asleep. He always asks us to change him as soon as it happens, so he must have been really tired! I realized it when I went up to bed and quickly changed him. He stirred, but didn’t awaken.
The next morning, he popped into our room and the following exchange took place. Read L.J.’s lines using the most astonished voice you can muster.
LJ: “Mom! This morning I woke up and my poop was ALL GONE!!”
Me: “I know, bud. I changed you last night before I went to bed.”
LJ: “Ok. But Mom, it was ALL GONE!!”
Clearly what I said did not register and he’s laboring under the delusion that there is a magical poop fairy who takes care of nocturnal evacuations.

(Helpful hint: Speaking of evacuations, we’ve discovered that a clear jar filled with Starburst and Matchbox Cars is a surefire incentive to quickly ensure your child is 100% potty trained…)
(Conundrum: How many Matchbox cars are we going to have to buy before this is no longer an expected reward??)

The other weekend we had a visitor to the house who L.J. had not met before. He was excitedly running laps around the first floor and being three when he suddenly made an abrupt stop right in front of our guest. He inched closer, looked her straight in the eye and loudly asked, “Why are you here?”
Awkward x1000
We explained that she was my brother’s friend and wanted to meet our family. L.J. shrugged his shoulders, non-chalantly said “Oh. Ok.” and promptly went back to doing laps.
