1. Bugs and small animals will be brought into the house with the intention of being pets or food for other pets.
2. Dirt is for scooping, eating and rolling in.
3. If it can be climbed, it will be climbed.
4. If it can't be climbed, a way will be found to climb it.
5. Bruises are an accessory
6. The superman cape and rain boots are not a fashion statement, it is just what they will wear for a week straight
7. Peeing on a bush is a right of passage and will be done at the first possible opportunity (and will cheered on by Papa despite the pee going on the bush, the deck and my shoes)
Can you tell which inevitable fact took place today? That's right #7. Little Man was playing in the backyard with all of his water toys and was soaked and grass stained. So we stripped him naked to hose him off AND he pees in an impressive arch on the bush. He then was cheered by Papa Bear and so continued to pee but was moving around so he could get multiple targets. His Uncle Mark would be so proud - he always said one of the best things about being a boy is being able to write your name in the snow. We are one step closer.
(and yes, I know that a bunch of these things can pertain to girls as well - but I only have boys and the story worked better this way :)
YESS!! He is an over-achiever I see....Now that he has the arch down, and since there is no snow on the ground....we must begin practice on distance. The force is strong with this one....
ReplyDeleteI will leave the mentoring to you and Papa Bear on that one. He also likes to "jiggle jiggle" when he is all done. Wonder where he got that one??
