teaching taking turns

Rhiannon is on summer break from school right now, which means she is staying home during the days with Brooklynn. It’s also leading to conversations that go a little like the following:

Rhiannon: Are you almost done mowing the lawn?

Me: Yep.

Rhiannon: You have good timing.

Me: I know, it looks like it might rain any minute.

Rhiannon: No, not that. Brooklynn just pooped and she wants you to change her diaper.

Me: Are you sure you can’t take care of that?

Rhiannon: I’m pretty sure she wants you to do it. Besides, I already changed two messy ones earlier today.

Me: I don’t think she specifically requested me. Did you, Brooklynn?

Brooklynn: AAAHHH BAAAAAA BEEEEEEEEE. MMMMMMMMMMMMM….  DAAAAAA.

Rhiannon: That means she wants you.

Me: I’d say that’s open to interpretation.

Rhiannon: When you’ve spent as much time with her as I have recently, you feel free to interpret all you want. She’ll be waiting for you when you get in.

    haha! We have that same conversation in our house, however now that they can talk I can just be sneaky and hand Chad a diaper and have Bryn take it to him!
