Sunshine

I sat in the bathroom drying and lotioning the Little Miss this evening after her bath. As usual, the Little Man had crashed our girl-bonding time and was in the bathroom with us, playing, chattering and generally getting into everything.

He said "Mommy, I need go potty. I use my potty chair." Before I could get "you're too big for your potty chair" out of my mouth, he had picked the potty chair up and put it on his head as a hat. Gahhhh! I exploded with the grossness of it all, ordering the potty chair off his chair and quickly went into scold/lecture mode about germs and the general nastiness of putting your head anywhere near anything potty related. I was getting into full swing, carrying on over "Mommy, be happy" and incessant whining. Then, I stopped to get up and take the baby into her room, and he said "Mommy, be my sunshine!"

Really, how could I not? You only get offers like that so often, even if you are in mid-lecture.
