Olivers Updates

Notes from my mom:

Today I had to pick up Oliver because he was throwing up at school. I got there, he was pretty miserable, so I took him home and we hung out for the day. He had to go potty and when he was done he wanted me to wipe his bottom. I said, “No Oliver, you can do it yourself.” He said “Mommy will you please wipe my bottom? If you say Yes, you can wipe my bottom all the time, if you say No you are the worst mommy ever.” I said, “Thanks for the offer Oliver, but the answer is still NO! You do it!” He sat there for about 5 minutes and realized that I was serious and eventually wiped himself. Then he got off the toilet, washed his hand and came out and told me with a mean look on his face “You are a bad mom!” …I kept my cool and told him that I was sad that he felt that way. Not two minutes later he was trying to sit in my lap, my response “bad mom’s don’t let their kids sit in their laps, sorry dude.” He realized that what he said was not nice so he quickly apologized and told me that I will never be a bad mom.

Oliver – You may not enjoy doing things for yourself (like wiping your bottom) but one day you will thank both your daddy and I for letting you learn. We do love you and have your best interest at heart.
