I'm a 3 year old boy Do I have to go potty first?

I smile and hug her Hey Sophia, how are you doing today?
I’m doing well, how are you guys?
I'm not a baby. I'm 7! I say, crossing my arms over my chest.
I know you aren’t a baby silly but it’s time for bed
my 6 year old self hugs my stuffed bunny
Sophia smiles at the sight of you hugging your bunny
Are you ready for bed, little one?

I'm 7 years old and I have Down Syndrome
Sophia smiled down at you, thinking about how cute you are
Hey sweetie ready for bed?

I don’t think so you’re supposed to be in bed by now
I'm 7 years old, and my little sister is 4 years old. I don't wanna take a nap!
Sophia smiles at you, knowing that arguing with a 7 year old is pointless.
I know it's not nap time but your parents asked me to put you guys down for an afternoon nap
ok I say as I'm brushing my teeth
Sophia stands in the doorway of the bathroom
You almost done?
