Taking the girls out to run errands is always an adventure...sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes it's a bad thing. This afternoon we went to Wal-Mart for a small grocery run...bread, veggies, you know, the essentials. So, I get P in the big part of the cart, S in the front seat and off we go to the produce section. First item on the list: serrano peppers. I grab the produce bag, put the peppers in, and go to my list to proudly check off item #1....when I see Sydney literally standing in the cart. She has wiggled her way out of the strap and decided that standing ON the seat is way better than standing IN the seat. I scold her appropriately and get her situated back in her seat. Off we go...
We are about halfway through the trip when P decides she would like to announce to all our fellow grocers that she "Has to go poo poo." After saying "I gotta go poo poo!" about 5 times loudly in a row, I decided to distract her with one of her favorite dittys "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands". The way we sing is that P gets to decide what exactly "He" has in his hands. Typically she wants baby sister, mommy and daddy, etc but today she decided that she wanted me to sing "He's got Presleigh's poo poo in His hands." Really? Does he really have poo poo in his hands? Gross.
And so the song goes. After we sing about Sydney's poo poo and even Larry Boy's poo poo I finally get her distracted enough to finish the trip in silence (not without avoiding the disturbed looks from passers by).
Oh S & P, life would be so boring without you guys :)

oh I LOVE this story! why is poo always so intriguing to kids? :) don't worry- soon instead of singing you'll have to go tearing across the store (pushing the cart of course) to find the closest bathroom. fun times in walmart, it's always when you're as far away as possible!
