But Mommy said I can!

As a three year old, I am surprised that Ethan is already using the line "Mommy (or Daddy) said I can!" So then the other one of us has to go ask if they really said that. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Either way, we laugh a little on the inside every time he says it. It reminds me of a certain memory that our family has quoted many, many times over the years. LOL. You know ;-)

I went to register Ethan for pre-school today at a local church, just down the road. There was a few pages of paperwork to fill out and (like a fool) I didn't bring the stroller for Jake. So I had him in one arm, filling out papers in another, while keeping one eye on Ethan. Meanwhile, the Pastor and two other men where hanging out nearby. Ethan comes over and the conversation goes like this:

Ethan: "I need new pants, Mommy."
(I think to myself "SERIOUSLY?")
Me: "Why do you need new pants?"
Ethan: Because I went poopy in my pants"
Me: "Shhhhh, just wait a minute so I can finish this paperwork"
Ethan: "Ok, Mommy"

I look over and he is standing with his pants and undies around his ankles, patiently waiting. Yes, in front of the men and Pastor. I haven't moved that fast in a while. So, that's two "pants down in public" for Ethan!
Never a dull moment.
