Disclaimer: If you will be offended by talk about penises, please don't read any further. I thought the little blurbs out of #4's mouth were funny, but you may not. This is your only warning.
One of the benefits of living in the country is the privacy. This is especially a bonus for boys, who can quickly empty their bladders outdoors, keeping playtime uninterrupted by having to do time consuming things like take their shoes off and climb stairs.
It is one of the things that my husband rejoices in - that he can pee freely and privately outdoors. (Believe me this is not something I understand.) But, I have to admit the idea has its benefits for me as well. I don't have to retie tennis shoes and the toilet lid stays much drier.
So, today after watching Dad and big brother, our two-year-old decided it was time that he learned how to pee outside too. Except that he couldn't quite get the little thing out of his diaper. Dad tried to help him a bit, by taking the pants and diaper came halfway down and giving him plenty of space.
He was about to walk away because he figured it would take awhile for the actual peeing to start, but stopped when he heard this:
"Dad, look! My pee pee muscle!"

I don't understand the male anatomy (nor do I really care to) but apparently having to pee really bad makes a certain body part increase in size. When this happens, it makes it rather difficult to potty train a two-year-old who wants to stand up to pee like all the other males in the family.
Being that he's not there yet and still wearing diapers, we've encountered a bit of a problem when this phenomenon happens. I will tell him to pull his diaper back on and he'll respond with: "See Mom - pee pee don't fit!"

All of my boys have at some point wondered about the differences between me and them. One asked me once if I peed from my butt hole (since I don't have a pee pee). One thought I had two butts. This child asked: "When you gwow pee pee, Mom?"
