My tummy being bad

As I sit and read my email this morning, the girls are downstairs in the toy room (yes it is finally finished and the toys from grandma's have made it). I hear a little voice say..... "my tummy hurts. My tummy being bad." A natural response, I call Kayann upstairs. I ask her whats the matter. Almost in tears she says "my tummy being bad right here" as she points to her belly button. I ask her if she needs to go poop. She says no. I ask if she needs to go pee. She says yes but her baby cant come with. So I offer to babysit while she takes care of her business. Why is it that little kids cant just take care of business? Why do we have to tell them? They get so caught up in things that they forget. Sometimes they need a little reminder on what to do. Now she is done and happily playing again. Oh the simplicity of a child
