Ethan watered the lawn tonight...

and by that I mean he dropped his drawers in the front yard and peed. Seriously. It was absolutely the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

I was dealing with Olivia (who I think is teething and refusing to go to bed at night) and heard Ethan and his friends leave the house. I went to the door to look for him a few minutes later and saw Ethan, all alone thankfully, peeing in full effect. I opened the door and started to say "stop" and then Ethan yelled "It's okay Mom, it's just like the campground!". I started laughing like crazy and called Jay over to witness this milestone of childhood.

After I was done laughing I went out to explain to him that although we pee in the woods when we are camping with Grandpa Jimbo we should use the potty when we are at our house. He listened to my words but was quick to say "Well, I had to go". Wow.

I did take a quick peek around and it appears that most folks had gone in for the night. But really, who cares? It is FUNNY!

funny! I think that every parent of a boy will have a story similar to yours. Hopefully we can put Caleb into the 'potty on his own' category soon.

Wow - and here I thought the brown spots in our yard were from Callie the Boxer!

It is good to know that I am having a profound effect on Ethan's development! I love seeing a boy be a boy because our society is becoming increasingly feminized. Right on Ethan! A pox on convention!

I'm trying to encourage some parents to help out with a guitar hero fundraiser we are having up here in Canada. I noticed the ADORABLE picture of the 2 of you playing guitar hero and I have a question for you! Whenever you have a second please give me an email... leadingnotesregina@gmail.com

I'm terribly sorry that this sounds like such a spam-comment. I really do hope to talk to you soon.

Love the blog :)
