Just like Daddy

It amazes me how fast children pick up the habits of their parents. I am sitting outside on the back deck enjoying this glorious day. My son is potty training so the question came up as to when was the last time he peed. Of course he hasn't since we came home, so what does DH do? He lets him pee off the back porch. Are all men obsessed with urinating outside? My husband loves to pee outside and now he is teaching our son. I don't understand why they can't just walk in the house. We have 3 toilets in the house, but they chose to go outside. I am honestly a bit jealous because I can't do this with ease. I have heard other women say that their husbands/sons are the same way. Maybe this is a natural born instinct of a man? We live back in the woods so it really doesn't matter, but I think if we lived in town he would do the same thing. A few weeks ago he took the children deer scouting while I took a nap. When they came back he told Maddie to tell me what happened. She told me all these other great things that had happened on their trip. DH took off his jacket and one of the sleeves was missing from his shirt. Maddie then began to tell me the story. They had walked for about an hour, way to far from the house, when she decided that she need to take a poo. They couldn't get back to the house so DH lets her poo in the woods. He doesn't have any paper so him being the great dad that he is he rips the sleeve off his shirt and she uses this. SOOOOOO Funny. I love it. Thank goodness it was him and not me. I wouldn't have been able to tear my shirt because I would have been laughing. My dear husband....he keeps me laughing all the time. One of the many reasons I am glad he is mine......

  1. Cute story. Clark learned by peeing in the rocks. We tried buying the nascar toilet that made engine noises when he used it but that did not inspire him. One day i said "you want to pee in the rocks". He mastered the art in no time. He is ten now. We had a friends 2 year old son over the other night and Clark took him out and let him use the rocks. The torch has been passed.
