My name is Elise Krepcho, I live in Virginia Beach, VA. I have a Bachelor of Music with a concentration in Vocal Performance which is apparently a great degree for teaching. When I was 26 years old, my husband and I had our first son, Indiana. This blog is where I hope to share my thoughts with you. Thoughts on art, culture and about doing my best at being a good mom.

 

A Turd in the Forest.

During our 25 minute commute home.

Indy: Owie, Mama! I got an owie in my belly!

Me: Are you okay? Do you have to go poo poo on the potty?

Indy: Yes...

*from the car window, he looks out at the trees in the field next to our intersection.*

Indy: That's a big tree....that tree isn't a potty.

Me: ............

*Thinking about all the times that the child's father has told me he's had to RESIST the strong and almost "animalistic" urge to pee on trees whenever he's in the wilderness...*

Indy: I can't go poo poo on that tree...

Me: That's right, you should wait until we get home and you can go on the potty.

Indy: ......I can't pee on that tree. I can't poo on that tree.
