At Costco yesterday Amelie said, “I need go baffroom.” This was a big deal since we are hopefully at the end of potty training. Then of course Nadia said she had to go and off we went into the large sized handicap stall. Nadia went first and this is what followed:
Nadia: “Can I go out and wash my hands by myself?”
Me: “No, just wait for your sister.”
Nadia: “Don’t worry, if a criminal grabbed me and said, ‘I’m a criminal, come here!’ I would punch him and scratch him and when he put me down I would say, ‘Leave me alone YOU CRIMINAL’ and then I would KICK HIM IN THE LEG!!!!”
Me: laughing.
Then we hear the hysterical laughter from the other stalls. While washing our hands one woman said, “Good job! If that ever happened you should kick and scream and scratch them.”
After the lady left Nadia said, “I think she thought I was cute!”

Tonight as I was about to brush Amelie’s teeth this was our conversation.
Me: “Great job being dry today Amelie!! 4 days with no accidents. What a big girl! 3 more days and you get to go to Braums for ice cream. Just you and Mommy and you can get an ice cream cone.”
Amelie: silent for a few beats…. “Tree more days?”
Me: “Yes”
Amelie: silent for a few more beats….. “I want money! I go shop Taaaget.”
All I could do was laugh.
