BOYS

Oh my. The stories I have to tell. A couple of weeks ago, Sarah went into the bathroom she shares with Shane and hollered out that the sink was yellow. When we asked Shane if he peed in the sink, he said not in this one, but I did in that one. When asked WHY he peed in the sink, he said just "because". Steve asked him to show us just how he managed to get the pee in the sink, wondering if he had used a stool, or what. Shane climbed up on the counter, put one knee on each side of the sink, and that was that. A couple of days later, we discovered a yellow bathtub.

Now, I am wondering, he is really a naughty boy, or just simply curious? Surely he is learning about the world using cause and effect.

We do watch a lot of Sid the Science Kid...a fabulous PBS show where the kids do all kinds of "investigations" as they learn about their world. Maybe I should get him a science journal where he can "draw" about the things he tries.

Today, while taking a bath, I heard a lot of bubbles in the tub. Now, I was sitting in the floor, deep into a game of Suduko, so I didn't really glance up, just merely asked Shane if he had tooted. He laughed and said yes. Only later, about 10 minutes, when Shane said he wanted to get out, did I look in the tub and see the floating poop. Of course, we had to shower after that and scour the tub. But again, did he intentionally go, or was it just a watery toot? We may never know.

Life for the mom of a boy, is never BORING.
