Interesting Conversations

Sitting on the step stool next to Scarlett while waiting for her to potty, I looked away so that she doesn’t feel too self-conscious as she tries to go potty. Just then, she asks me, “what are you thinking about?” At first, I just said, “nothing.” Then she asks, “are you thinking about my poo-poo?” Then I said, “no, but I was thinking about how much pizza you ate last night and the big breakfast you had this morning.”

"Baa-baa! Baa-baa! I want my horsie in my bed," Scarlett yells from her room.
My husband gets up off the couch, walks to her room and says, "no, Scarlett, you can't put your horsie in your bed. Now, go to sleep."
"Baa-baa! Baa-baa! Come!" Scarlett yells again a few minutes later.
My husbant gets off the couch again, walks to her room, and says, "what?"
"Baa-baa, baa-baa, I want...I want...I want....." Scarlett stutters.
"No, you can't have it, so just go to sleep," my husband interjects, hoping to shut down her stalling attempts.
"But I haven't said what I wanted yet." Scarlett, the 2-year-old proclaims.
