Words I Never Thought I Would EVER Have To Say!?

"STOP WIPING POOP ON YOUR SISTER!!!" Yes, I actually found myself saying this to Avery the other day. SERIOUSLY?! Yes, seriously. Avery had a dirty pull up (we are moving in the direction of potty training, but we are obviously not there yet), so I left Finley on the chair and went to the other room to grab another pull up and some wipes. I was gone for 15 seconds MAX, but when I walked back into the room I found Avery wiping the contents of her diaper on her sister! Mind you, it could have been worse- the contaminated area was isolated to one spot on Finley's pants- I have heard worse stories for sure, but it was still completely disgusting!Sweet little Finley was completely unfazed. She just smiled away, looking as cute as could be.

Avery did not fully comprehend what she had done, but I think after my ranting, she knew she did something wrong! Look at that face... full of remorse!

I still remember (I was older- about 9 or so) when we were driving in L.A. with my mom and we were not in the best neighborhood when my little brother David(who was 4 at the time) needed to go pee. My mom did not want to stop, so she asked me to hold a coke bottle for him. As if that wasn't traumatic enough, we went over train tracks as he was "mid-stream" and his aim was compromised! I became his haphazard target! Oh, the emotional scars! I still shutter at the thought!

This incident is similar... it will be one of those things that Avery will never live down. Finley might not be old enough to remember, but I am sure over the the years this story will be retold enough that she will know what happened. Then, when they are teenagers and Finley wants to embarrass Avery in front of her friends, she will bring it up... "hey, remember that time that you smeared poop all over me?!" Poor thing!
