"I have pri-acy." BAF 8/5/08


I will preface this surprise daddy post with the following background information: Insisting on "Privacy" while using the bathroom has been a big thing for A recently. Sometimes little B does not comprehend this basic request and barges in on A while she is in the middle of going.
So last night, while mommy is "working" at the yoga studio and daddy and the kids are getting ready for bed, we brush our teeth and A goes to her room to get her pajamas on. Meanwhile, B stays behind in the bathroom saying, "I have pri-acy". I'm thinking o.k. B, sit on the toilet for a minute while I help A get her pajamas on. So he does and I close the bathroom door. About every 15 seconds thereafter A and I hear from the bathroom the yell of " I have pri-acy. I have pri-acy." Great. He's busy talking to himself, right?
Not exactly. After a few minutes I go in there and B is standing on the stool at the sink to wash his hands still saying, "I have pri-acy. I have pri-acy." Then I look at the toilet, and there on the toilet seat is some little boy feces. After the initial shock, I say, "good job B", we clean up, get pajamas on, and go to bed. Then I go back to clean up the toilet seat with a smile on my face. I only hope next time his aim is a little better and he makes it in the bowl.
Welcome to the world of controllable bowel function B. My diaper budget thanks you. Enjoy your pri-acy. Now lets work on pronouncing v's.
