1 reason we always wash hands before meals...
So the other night we are sitting at the dinner table, just sharing about our day, when, suddenly, we all smelled something a little suspicious. I thought maybe Hannah had left us a present in her pull-up. I ask her if she needed to go potty, or if she had maybe already gone and needed changed. (turns out it was the dog. no really.)
Allie jumps right in and very matter-of-factly declares, in between bites of her grilled cheese sammy, " Oh no mom, Hannah doesn't need to go poop. She already went poop.... And Grace and I changed her."
****uh, I'm sorry what?Come again?****
" You already changed her, what do you mean?"
" Grace and I changed Hannah's diaper. Right before dinner. And boy was it poopy. Poopy everywhere. Biggest Poop ever. And Stinky. And the Poop was sticking to her legs. Poop was everywhere. Yup, it was a big poop alright. But Grace and I took care of it. Didn't we Hannah sweetie. "
Didn't know exactly what to say to that one, so I go with the encouraging " Well, Thank you very much for being so helpful.We did wash our hands really well before dinner, right? Yes? Good. Would you Excuse me for a moment?"
And I casually head upstairs to the where the changing supplies are, thinking this might be a good place to start in my hunt for the extracted poopy diaper. I did not need to look too far or too hard....
This awaited me...
Underneath the pile of used wipes, about a package worth, is the poopy diaper.
I am thankful for their resource fullness, and their willingness to help out.
But most of all I am thankful that we are in the habit of washing our hands before meals. (and also for carpet cleaners)

Oh my! There is never a dull moment around your house, eh? My house is asleep, so I am laughing quietly. Not LOL. I am LQ. :-)
I am crackin' up here. We've been dealing with a lot of poop issues 'round our house, Jude poop, dog poop... and I really have a strong aversion to the stuff.
Sounds like your girls are some really good helpers :) How long did it take you to rewash their hands after this?!? ;)
Oh what helpful little sweet potatoes you have! Yes, that rule of washing hands paid off big time in this circumstance! Whew!
And no, life couldn't be any sweeter than the three beautiful babies below! ;) Love 'em!
You are SO blessed!
Well since I know they are good at changing diapers and don't seem to mind it, I could use a toddler teacher at my daycare!!!! Love you girls!!!!
But they really do look out for one another which is so great and sweet!!!!
Oh wow. Clever girls! :o) What a lucky Mom you are to have such a dynamic team under your roof!
Awwwwww, that is just so sweet that they helped their sister.....and completely DISGUSTING, LOL! Pass the antibacterial hand gel, please!
Take care,
Jen
