A snippet from an actual conversation I had before 8 am this morning:
Boy #4: “Do you want to hear my poo song? This is hilarious. You might laugh!”
(singing)
“I love poo!

“Laugh!
(more singing)
“I love poo
I love poo poo
(spoken)
“Keep laughing!”
Then…
“I have a pee song too
(Singing again)
“I love pee-pee! I love…”

I can only imagine! LOVE IT. I’m glad you wrote it down too… it’s the little things you’ll miss when they’re grown (but I’m sure you’ve already figured that out since you have older boys!).
Thanks, Marsha. I’m glad I wrote it down too, ’cause you’re right — I’ve lost so much of my older children’s childhoods already just my not writing things down. Wish I’d recorded it, though. He was precious!
