(disclaimer: if you have a sensitive stomach or don't like reading about kids bathroom issues you may want to pass on this post).
Background:
So for the past week and a half Warren has been having "digestive issues". When I say that, I mean he only went number two about 1.25 times in 10 days and it was a a rough time for all to say the least. He has had a really bad tummy ache 24/7. Poor guy. One night he literally did not finally sleep until 6 am the following morning (and therefore neither did I). Daily single, double and triple doses of children's laxative did nothing. Glycerine suppositories (that was a new experience for me)...NADA. I was at my wits end and then finally Monday....we were successful!! So, for now I think we are out of the woods.
I tell you all of this to explain why I did what I did in the following story. So, every time I have heard him in the bathroom I try to get there before he flushes to see if he was able to go. A few times he said that he did but there was no evidence of it and the symptoms remained, etc.
So, a few days ago we are in the kitchen and we are making lunch. He suddenly jumps to his feet and exclaims that he needs to go potty.....his little feet take off as fast as they can and he runs upstairs to his bathroom. I wash my hands and at a much slower pace than he...head toward the bathroom to do my regular inspection.....and what to my wondering eyes does appear?????
Warren......peeing in the tub!!! Not just any old pee....he is hosing it down.....back and forth...like a fireman putting out a forest fire! Gasping in disgust and amazement I exclaim (rather loudly)...."WARREN! What in the HAY do you think you are doing!?" He shrinks and then smiles.... "I had to go SUPER bad mom!"
Which leads to the next privilege of being a boy mom. No matter how well you clean it.....the bathroom always smells like pee. I have found many other boy mom's who have confirmed this same phenomena. I had one friend tell me that she actually dismantles the toilet once every three months and that is the only way she can control the continual lingering smell of urine. My advice?......Don't forget the TUB!!!!

Aaaakkk! Where will it stop! Boys are so DISGUSTING! After 2 or 3 days, my toilet looks as if it has been neglected a month. At least! We've only had a pee on the wall incidence once, but even when aiming for the toilet they turn to look at something...and there it goes.
We need to invent a bleach bomb that you toss in, close the door for an hour, and then open to disinfected glory.
Maybe you and I can get on that in all our spare time. (:
That is a brilliant idea!!!! I like....NO....I LOVE it!
Wow, I am so glad I have a boy :( Have you tried Miralax? Supposedly it does wonders.
This story is too hilarious....but hey, it's better than poo in the tub, which each of my girls has done more than once. While taking a bath of course.
I think Tanner will be in diapers for a very long time for that very reason...heehee!
BTW...we are going private and for some reason I've lost your email to send you an invite...will you email me: apollary@gmail.com
