Benny made us laugh this morning. I was in our bathroom when I heard Ryan say to Ben "you need to go potty? Okay, well come on!" then I heard shuffling and low talking and then "Put your pee pee in the toilet Ben! You have to push your wiener in the toilet!" then, "Heather! Come here quick!" all while he's cracking up. Ben in his sleepy head manner forgot to push his little "member" in to the toilet and well, at FULL stream peed on the wall. From the toilet. In the trash can, on the floor, EVERYWHERE between him, the toilet and the wall! Ryan said he was shell shocked at first and couldn't stop watching the impressive arch the pee trail was making (Ben was apparently enamored by it too), then finally Ben pushed "it" in and finished peeing IN the potty! Then started crying because either it scared him, he thought he was in trouble- who knows. Anyway, we made a joke of it, I tried to get him to laugh while I was cleaning up. But we thought it was hilarious. It was EVERYWHERE of course... but a good story none-the-less.
He's really had a struggle lately... not sure why. He does fine at home, but has been having lots of "accidents" at school. I don't consider them accidents though because he knows where to go and what to do when he needs to go potty. At first we were very upset and stressed out and took away toys and got mad at him... and now we're just kind of ignoring the "accidents" and reminding him about how to use the potty correctly. We figure at this point, stressing out is not worth it... and we have every bit of faith that he'll eventually have it done pat! We will not be sending our child to kindergarten in diapers!
