Becca did it!

Diana 3.0 has recently started blaming Rebecca 5.9 for anything she thinks she is about to get in trouble for. Actually, sometimes it's not even something that Diana will be in trouble for; it's just never Diana's own fault, of course.

Diana recently potty trained (and she is doing amazing, by the way. It is so much better when the child picks the time and place completely on her own). If you aren't a parent, you probably don't know that there is a stage in every child's life where they are capable of going to the toilet and using it when needed, but the parent still needs to wipe them - or else the result is red, sore bottoms, not to mention the streaks.

So yesterday, Beth (a dear friend who cleans our house and is nice enough to come more frequently while I feel so awful) was here, and she stepped in on one such adult-wiping encounter. I think I was asleep, so I'm very grateful for all the babysitting she tosses in along with the cleaning. Later, when the girls were getting ready for bed, Becca announced that Diana's underwear had poop on it. (Kids love to announce that kind of stuff, especially if you happen to be out at the store.) I took Diana in to help her wipe a bit more and get fresh underwear, and Diana is saying how Beth wiped her.... Then she heads back to her room to find the fresh underwear and announces, "Becca pooped in my underwear!!"
