Casual Attire

I had a day with just me and Mason and we decided to go to the movies, which is a treat for both of us. It was a late afternoon movie and we got there early to make sure we go tickets.

True to form, Mason told me that he had to go to the bathroom when we got there, so we walked in to the mens room.

As I am standing there I notice something interesting

Me - "Mason, are you wearing any underwear?"

Mason - "Well, this is kind of embarrassing"

"I'm going commando!!!!"

Me - "It's 2:30, did you wear any today?"

Mason - "Nope, I guess not"

My Son......the dog

When we were potty training Mason, one of the ways that worked for us was to let him go pee in the backyard. It worked well and he learned when to pee. He still loves to pee in the backyard. That's fine.

When we decided to start Ben on the potty training path, we thought it would be a good idea to try the same approach.....We THOUGHT

A few days ago we are in the backyard and Ben, who was in diapers, tells us that he made a doody. So I told him that we need to go inside to change him. He said "no", but I told him that he can not play outside with a doody in his diaper. He response was not what I wanted.

Ben - "The doody is not in my diaper"

Me - "What!?!?!?"

Ben - "I made a doody in the backyard"

Sure enough, Ben went behind a little bush and did the squat. I think the backyard training should be left to animals and when we move the training inside, I will not use the newspaper technique

The F Word

Well, It finally happened.....Mason used the f word for the first time.

He had just come back from a playdate and he was telling me all about it, including how he got to play the Wii, or at least tried to.

So the story goes.

Mason - "Daddy, we were trying to play the Wii, but there was only one remote".

Me - "That's too bad"

Mason - "yeah the fuggin(how he said it) cleaners must have moved it"

I asked him to repeat himself a few times just to make sure what he was saying.

As he tells it, he learned it from his buddy who learned it from his daddy.

Well, at least he used it in the proper context
