It's now known as a latrine.

The big child is potty training.  He is doing pretty darn spectacular in the no longer peeing his pants department... it's the aim that seems to be the problem.  We have started like most parents by having him sit on the potty and hold "peter pan" downward.  Pretty simple, right?  I thought so.... until Big learned that he can choose to point it in OTHER directions, as well.  Sigh.  He finds it very amusing.  He also loves to run around and scream, "I'm gonna pee on you like the potty!"  We are so proud.

I thought the remedy to this would be to introduce the "boys can pee standing up" idea.  Um, not so much.  Big now thinks he can use his fire hose to sprinkle where ever he feels like it.  He went all by himself today, yeah! we thought, but then... Nana walked in there and it looked like we had played bathroom slipNslide, urine style.  Double awesome.  My formerly clean, pee-stain free bathroom is now a latrine... and headed toward the ways of *I need to borrow the key that is chained to a huge stick, gas station hole in the floor* restroom.  I need to hire a full time bathroom attendant just to clean up after the biggest child, and I am looking into infant boarding school for the littles when it comes time to potty train them.  I figure the cost of cleaning supplies and general workload would be very close to the cost of a potty training boarding school, right?  If anyone knows of a potty training pill or hypnotist, shoot me a message.  I mean, just so I know, not that I would actually hypnotize my child.  That's just crazy.

  1. Have you tried Cheerios in the bowl? Something for him to aim at.

  2. Maybe I should do that to make it a game. He has great aim... When he chooses to not pee on the dog. Lol
