Paige...she's just too funny.
Today, she had a little pee-pee accident at the house. On one of our nice sofa throw pillows. We're already down one throw pillow on our sofa from a beyond-salvageable poop mess from Taylor several weeks ago. Okay, so maybe that pillow could have been salvaged if I'd really applied myself, but given the mess I was contending with, I wasn't about to avail myself to that task so instead, I just tossed it in a garbage bag.
Well, after I discovered the wet spot on the pillow, and observed it to be Paige who was the obvious culprit since her britches were damp, I asked her, "now, where do we need to go pee-pee?" (this lead-in question was my effort at prompting Paige for that hopefully desired response back from her "in the big girl potty" or to at least allow me to initiate the familiar ol' conversation of reminding her that we go in the "big girl potty"). Instead, Paige simply said, "I go pee-pee on the pillows." Funny, huh?!
So, later in the day, several hours after we'd had a chance to chat about how "big girls go pee-pee in the big girl potty", I asked Paige if she had to go potty and she said, "no, thank you". I'm not kidding. She actually said that - "no, thank you." So, I followed it up with, "well, when you do need to go potty, where do we need to go?" (Again, just trying to take advantage of the opportunity to hopefully elicit that "in the big girl potty" response back from her to validate to me that yes, she understood that next time she would go in the potty.) Well, instead, Paige said back to me: "I go pee-pee on the pillows." Uh-oh. That was not what I was hoping to hear. Uh-oh.
Well, at least she's totally honest. I just hope that she doesn't think she always gets to go pee-pee on the pillows now....ha, ha, ha, ha, ha....time will tell.
