full blown boy
Wow. I'm not sure what else to say but wow. This morning I had one of those moments where I didn't know if I was going to laugh, cry, or yell. Here is what happened...
I am in the kitchen fixing a cup of coffee and visiting with my sister when Stephen comes running back down the hall (Stephen always runs. He only has one speed) and into the kitchen and says with an absolutely boyish grin of pure delight, "Mommy, when I was tee-teeing in your bathroom I was moving my wee-wee all around and I was tee-teeing on your wall."
My first inclination was to laugh with amused incredulity. But that would not have been good. I don't want him doing it again! I think he was pretty scared of the consequences by the look on my face as I asked him to go down the hall and show me what he was talking about. Sure enough there is tee-tee on the seat and a small trickle down the wall. Very sternly, I told him that was not funny or cool and he was most definitely not to ever do that again.
You just don't have to tell little girls not to go tee-teeing on the walls! I am finding myself saying all kinds of things I didn't imagine I would have to say. I am discovering that just like little girls don't have to be taught to flirt or pout or prance there are certain things that little boys don't have to be taught either. They are just inherently boy. There are so many things that he finds funny now and I am realizing he is not a toddler anymore, but a strange creature called a boy. It is fun to throw things, destroy things, hit things, anything. Fast is always better. There was another story that went with this post but now I can't remember it. (darn pregnant brain) Oh, well. If I think of it I will post it later. I sure do love my little boy.

Iain did that. Once. I made him clean it up.
His words to me: "I painted the bathroom."
