Growing up Part Two

As a follow up to part one of Growing Up, I would add that there are some definite disadvantages to the girl being the youngest in the family especially followed by two boys. They other day I rounded the side of the garage to find Kegan with his pants to his knees going potty in the grass. Standing beside him was Kaylin with her pullup down to her knees proudly announcing "I go potty". What do you say? I certainly do not want to encourage them but I have to say, it was hard not to laugh. You gotta love them.

Growing up

This goes into the category of "kids do the darndest things" and "I wish I had had a camera". I often pause to wonder what kids think at times and how their little minds work. This will have to be one of those mental images because there are no pictures to go with this tale. My daughter-in-law takes child number two shopping at the commissary at the base the other day. He announces he needs to go potty. Being the grown up boy that he is at the ripe age of three, he decides to venture into the world of the men's bathroom. After a period of time the child announces that he has gone "poop". Mom sends son number one in to help. Now we all know that in the women's restrooms there are only the stalls with a normal looking toilet. However, in the men's room there are generally urinals and toilets. Please keep in mind that daddy is in Iraq and has not had the opportunity to explain the uses of these devices to his sons. A man comes out and sees mom and this child and proceeds to tell her that the boy has somehow managed to do his number two business in the urinal. Even now as I write this, the mere visual image almost sends me into hysterical laughter. We cannot quite figure out how he managed to get up on the urinal, much less sit there long enough to do his business. . I am quite sure that at least a couple of people had their chuckle for the day with this one and so I thought I would share a little piece of our day in the life of a three year old with you so that it may bring a smile to your face as well. Who but a child in their simplistic thinking would come up with a new way to use a funny looking toilet.? I don't know about you, but it sure made me laugh.
