Mommy Calling Lessons

A short while after putting the littles down for their nap today, Campbell said "Mommy, poo-poo again," letting me know she needed her diaper changed. Again.

As I was finishing up our lunch dishes before responding, I listened on the monitor. Porter instructed. "No, sis. Not like that. You have to say 'MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY!'" and then she'll come in.

"MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY!" Cam repeated.

"That's right," encouraged Po. "Then you say it like this: 'MOOOOOOOmy!'"

"MOOOOOOOmy!"

"Great, sis. Now say 'Mom-MY!'"

Cam repeated "Mom-MY!" in quick cadence just like Po.

"Good job, sis. Now you have to put it all together like this: 'MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY! MOOOOOOOmy! Mom-MY!' Try it."

"MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY! MOOOOOOOmy! Mom-MY!"

Giggles all around, including me.

"That's perfect, sis."

Cam agreed, "perfect."

"Next, I'll teach you a trick. Go clap, clap, 'boom, boom, chooooo-chooooo," Po went on. I finally went in to change the poo-poo diaper that started it all. When I entered the room, Po admitted, "Mommy, I'm teaching her some tricks!"

"I can hear that!" I said. Now if only he could teach her how to use the potty.
