Association

Walking home from the park:

Me: AJU5, watch where you are walking there is doggie stinky.
AJU5 looks at me and is completely confused.
Me: AJU5, you are almost stepping in doggie stinky.
AJU5 finally looks down and sees it.

Closer to home - after seeing a dog:
AJU5: Puppy went stinky. Puppy needs to go potty.
Me: Most dogs don't use potties. They just go in the grass, and normally their mommy or daddy cleans up after them.
AJU5 (after seeing another dog): Puppy needs to go stinky. Mommy and daddy clean up.


Now she thinks all dogs need to go to the bathroom... Maybe I shouldn't have even gone in that direction and just moved her...
