Ben and his Pee-Pee

Ben is very proud of himself these days. He has discovered that he can get things wet. That liquid will flow out of his body at random moments and drench whatever is in front of him. This is incredibly funny to him. Good times. Good times.

Since his discovery, he has experimented with his pee-pee ability in several ways. At first, it was something he did in the bath as soon as his little feet hit the warm water. Then, the pee-pee started the moment his diaper came off and the water was still running for his bath. We of course whipped out the potty to show him what he should do with his pee-pee. He has been fascinated with sitting on the potty but he needs to stand to make (and watch) the pee-pee come out. So, for the time being, we have no pee-pee in the potty. However, we have had lots of pee-pee in other places.

After he got comfortable with his pee-pee happening right before bath, he decided to see if it would happen if he was not in the bathroom. This resulted in pee-pee on the carpet in his room and in the hall. Apparently, this was great fun for him and he decided to up the ante a bit before Mommy caught onto his new experimentation. The other night, as soon as I got his diaper off (water running for bath), he bolted out of the bathroom laughing. He has been into me chasing him lately so I didn't think anything of it. I also didn't think he would get too far since that required him to slide down the carpeted stairs with no diaper. I was wrong. After 3 seconds of faint giggling, I heard him yell "wee!" as he slid down the stairs buck naked on his tummy. So, I decided to go after him. Before I got to the top of the stairs, I hear him yelling "Pee-pee! Pee-Pee!" and laughing as hard as he can. By the time I got down stairs, he had pee-pee everywhere. The dogs were watching him in amazement. He had pee-peed in the hallway, dining room, hall to the garage and den. So, I scooped my giggling little boy up and brought him to his waiting bath and then I promptly cleaned up the evidence. I was sure to get a good teasing from my husband over this one. Well, about two minutes after I got it cleaned up, my husband arrives home comes upstairs and asks me why there is pee-pee all over the downstairs. Apparently, I underestimated my little Ben's abilities and didn't get all the evidence. My husband was quite proud and I am again reminded that I am living a life sentence in a locker room.
