Boy issues.....

Sometimes the biggest concern when people hear that I am the single mom of a boy is who will be his male "Role Model".  I am a firm believer that I can be that. 
Thankfully I have been raised by an AMAZING Father, and have three sometimes nice brothers.
I think I can handle the boy stuff. Except one thing.....

PEEING.....

He's got the standing up thing down pat, but the can't aim.  He also believes he needs to wipe himself dry, and usually its with MY TOWEL

Now, I can only tell him every time he pees that what is doing isn't necessary.....

So this is the dilemma...  I can't really show him what to do, I can tell him and mimic what should be done, but then it just becomes a joke.

When we go to my parents house, I ask my father to help.  Now, my father is a semi-old-fashioned man, 74 years old...  he raised his 4 kids and he really doesn't need to do this.
He helps anytime Chris goes to the bathroom to show him what to do. 
I have one male friend (more like another brother)  who has offered to let Chris go in the bathroom with him so he can see what to do .
Another friend would take Chris to the bathroom with him and help him there.


I do find the whole situation pretty funny.  A little story.
My three brothers, 11 & 9 years older and 2 years younger than me. 
So when I was starting to potty train...  I was surrounded by boys.  I would sneak in the bathroom and watch my brothers.  I was very curious about boys...  (I think that explains a lot in itself) BUT....
I actually had tried to straddle the toilet bowl and pee standing up..   just like the boys do it.
If they can, why couldn't I????


Just my thought for the day.....
I figure I'm always bitching about something,,,  may as well share something cute...
