Luckily, the bright side of this age and expanded vocabulary happens to be the funny things they say on a daily basis. I thought I would share this interaction between my husband and son:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Husband is walking out of the bathroom after helping him onto the potty and accidentally turns the light off:<\/p>\n<p>Wells: Turn the light back on! My poop is scared of the dark!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That is when we break into laughter and furiously write it down so we don&#8217;t forget. These moments and times of laughter need to be cherished and held onto especially when the next day they throw a tantrum and you are wondering how you will make it till dinner.
