Sometimes helpfulness goes a bit too far

Bean has been potty trained for nearly a year now, but still asks for help with wiping sometimes. And we oblige her - there’s something to be said for personal hygiene. Well, this morning I heard Bean in the potty patiently asking for help while I was being sucked on nursing. Just as the words “I’ll be there in just a sec!” came out of my mouth, Little Man, who’s still in diapers, went running.

Sopi! Sopi! (that’s what Little Man calls her) Waddaya need hep wit? I hep you! I hep you!

…followed by the sound of hubbs tearing into the bathroom to keep 2-yr old Little Man from wiping 4-yr old Bean’s messy little tushie.

    There is something about that so sweet and so very funny. Not many people would eagerly and joyfully rush to wipe the tushie of another. Little Man has demostrated true servanthood, lol. ~ L

    What a great little brother!!

    I once got duped into wiping a 5 year olds butt. She asked for help, little did I know she had
    been doing it by herself for over a year. This is the kid that tried to get me to touch the electric
    fence they had to keep the horses in. She didn’t get me on that one!!!

    At least your husband was there to rush in! If it was my husband he probably would have said
    “cool, does that mean I don’t have to do it?” ha
