Before I tell this story, I must give you a little bit of background. Just over a week ago Shea had a short-lived biting problem. She bit two kids at daycare one day. The following weekend, she bit her cousins twice during the evening. I'm happy to report no biting since then. Now, on to the story.
On Monday night, we met my brother, Michael, and his family for dinner at Osaka in Cordova. Emma, Bess, and Shea were being a little rowdy, and Michael probably thought some conversation might calm them down. He instructed Emma to ask Shea what she did at daycare that day. Emma turned to Shea and genuinely asked in a friendly tone, "What did you do at daycare today, Shea? Did you bite anybody?" As the rest of us laughed, Emma got embarrassed. It was simply adorable. I love Emma's questions.
That incident was followed by multiple trips to the bathroom with multiple kids, and Shea repeatedly yelling in the middle of the restaurant, "I need to poo poo," when she really didn't. She just likes to say "poo poo." She inherited that from her dad. I hope that she grows out of it.

I love this story! I'm laughing- especially at the poopoo thing. Kids always say things like this in public don't they. It's a red-faced joy to parents. Good thing about embarrassing moments with kids is that no matter how much you wish they wouldn't say or do things inappropriate for public places, you know at the same time that it's going to make a good story later. Laughter always comes! Thanks for sharing!
I am a bigger fan of the word "poop".
