A Boy’s Favorite Past-time

Your first thoughts might lead you to "playing ball" or "digging in the dirt," but no my friend, You would be mistaken.

My son's favorite past-time is being naked.


If he could be naked 24 hours a day, then all his dreams would have come true.


I think part of his love for all things naked is because he gets to see his best friend as much as possible, if you know what I mean.


Wink. Wink. Nod. Nod.


My real issue with naked time is all of the involuntary peeing that takes place.


Hence something I really don't appreciate about wieners. There's no consequences to urinating wherever you'd like. No dribble down your leg. No shame whatsoever. In fact, I might argue that for boys it's more of a congratulatory "see what you can hit with your pee," as opposed to avoiding getting it on yourself, as it is for girls.


So, how in the world do I potty train a boy? I don't like to think about it (Denial-land rearing its head again).

I have no idea what to say to help. I wonder how the heck I am going to potty train boys too. That "hanging thing" causes such issues!

I had a boy that was potty trained at 2 and then one at 3. Very different experiences with each. And Hayden is the one that likes to hang around in his undies...and likes to pee outside. At least he has stopped peeing by the front tree :)He would die he he knew I told you this, but I just caught Hunter coming from the side of the house "adjusting" I said what did you just do??? "Nothing" with a smile. Hello he is almost 11. Boys!!

okay, so i was laughing so hard when i read this. sorry, i couldn't help it. i thought it was funny. good luck with the potty training thing though.

Hayley said...

ew. i don't like the adjusting, even on boys. men are gross about it! in fact, craig kept doing it on saturday night & finally i said "thanks" he said "sorry, we're sweaty!" GAG

Heather said...

Ha! Join the club. I've got one too! Naked and peeing! I'm telling you have the daddies potty train. They have the same um...parts to control that we as mother have no idea how to control. My friend was potty training her little boy and was showing how to tuck the whacker and he peed in her mouth. Oh so dreading the potty training.
