Momma, I pee-pee!
What a beautiful day it is outside today! The boys and I have just come inside to relax after spending many hours outdoors. This afternoon I decided to treat Ryan to an ice-cream cone at Bruster’s (man, was he a mess!) and gave Noah a bit of a baby cone as well (gotta love the funny faces and vanilla dribble down the chin!). We arrived home after our ice-cream and time playing on the grassy area when I had Noah on my right hip and an armload of bags and trash hefted in my left arm. Ryan comes running toward me exclaiming “Momma, I pee-pee!” When he says this to me, it means that he’s got to go to the bathroom, not that he’s already done so :) We’ve got to work on the words “have to,” I suppose. :)
“Just a minute, Ry.” This from me as I’m struggling with all the weight in my arms, determined not to drop my son.
I turn my head. Apparently he really had to go! I stand still, slightly shocked, with what had to be a very bemused expression on my face as I stare at Ryan, pants and undies around his ankles as he’s sitting down on the walkway. Yes, he was peeing and happened to be quite transfixed by the steady stream beneath him. :) Ha!
I suppose I shouldn’t have shown him how to squat the other day when we were at the Rail Trail with absolutely no bathroom in sight! Hehe :) I think I may be in for some fun this summer!
Hey better then wet pants anyway.
HA! I can’t wait for those days.
He is too funny, that Ryan! I can just see the look on your face!!!!! Lucky it was in the driveway!!
I think it shows great initiative on Ryan’s part. He needed to go and mom was busy, so he did what he could.
Shannon, I agree! I’m so pleased the days of frequent accidents are behind us
Jess, I’m also looking forward to you telling me many stories like this!
I agree! He remembered what we had done the other day, problem solved, and helped himself
I tell you, I get laughs each and every day, as I’m sure you do, too!
Ha! I just had a similar experience, but it involved my son pulling down his pants and peeing in the garage. I had just let him go behind a tree at the park (no potties in site), which I guess he took to mean that it was fine to just go anywhere.
Isn’t it funny to watch them do the pee pee dance and/or remember what needs to be done? They are so cute. Mine is not quite there yet. It should be interesting. She just likes to pull at her diaper and when changing her likes to crawl away before the clean diaper is put on.
Oh my goodness, Brooke! The garage?? Ha! I’m over here laughing to myself…that’s just hilarious! I suppose I should be thankful that it was in the walkway and not somewhere in the house!
I was lucky with Ryan in that he never really crawled away from me much when I would change his diaper. He never even tried to get it off, even as he got older! I count myself lucky in this. I joke that Noah will be the complete opposite, though, and that I’ll be writing many stories about how he’ll “paint.” Gross!
lol eww painting I sure hope you get to miss that one twice I sure wish I had
