Accident

Today at school the toilet in Samantha's classroom was not working properly.
She's scared of the big toilets down the hall, so, due to extenuating circumstances, she had an "accident" at school. Her teacher told me all of this when I picked her up, but I didn't say anything about it to Samantha -- I wasn't sure how she felt about, whether she'd be embarrassed or upset.

When we got home, though, Samantha said, "Mommy, I had a tee-tee accident at school today."

Trying to be as sensitive and caring as I could, I asked her, "And how did that make you feel around the other children?"

"Wet," she said.

This is a picture of the McFamily in August, 2005. In the picture Langley is 15 mos., and Samantha is 3yo., almost to the day.

Emily's Quotes

"Samantha, did you put baby Jesus in the microwave?"

....we're getting a lot of use out of our Precious Moments nativity set.

Langley

Today Lang. enjoyed some of her favorite snacks. Not wanting anyone to be left out, she patiently fed pretzels to baby Jesus (from our nativity set).
