pee pee

Our two-year-old is something of a comedian. At least in his own mind.

He finds humor in very interesting places. For instance, a few weeks ago I got out of the shower and was trying to get a few moments of privacy to actually get some clothes on. He barged into the bedroom, took one look at me, pointed at my chest and asked, "You butt?" I tried to explain that no, those were Mommy's boobies. (If only they were as big as my behind - I'd have one happy hubby). He seemed fine with the answer, but I wasn't really sure he "got it" because when he tried to say "boobies" it sort of sounded like "poopy."

This morning, I was trying to change out of PJs into real clothes when he again invaded the bedroom. This time, he pointed at me and said, "You naked!" Good grief.

He also finds it incredibly funny to parade around the house after removing his diaper and announcing: "Big pee-pee!" Reminds me of the email about men vs. women, which describes men showing off by saying, "woo - woo!"

Every boy I've had has wondered at some point if I have two butts or if I pee from my butt. They can't quite comprehend that mommies don't have pee-pees. It will be real interesting when we finally have to start explaining the birds and the bees. (Putting that off as long as possible.)

I'm still not sure why God decided to play this little testosterone joke on me, but I have to admit the prank is more fun with this last child. He just makes everything more fun and more funny (usually.)

So, now he has decided that he wants to go potty. (At two!) He's doing pretty well, but it's getting a bit irritating to have him pee and then insist that I wipe his butt too. (Where does he get this from? I'm beginning to think the child is a parrot combined with some sort of gelatinous force that absorbs information by osmosis.)

But, my complaining stops there, because 1) I'm saving money on diapers, 2) he's actually tried to wipe his own butt, and 3) being able to pee on demand will be great come garage sale season, when you can sometimes find my van pulled to the side of the road with at least two pee-pees peeing in the wind. This year it might be three.
