Potty talk
Magnus is still tinkling like a champ. Anytime you take him into the bathroom and stick him on the potty he will go, even if it is only three drops.
His routine is sort of funny. Magnus is convinced that there is a correlation between the toilet flushing and him peeing. He must turn around and flush first. Maybe the water noise helps him, who knows? Anywho, you could sit there reading a book and not have to pay any attention until his head goes down. He starts watching before the action starts. I was just asking Ben tonight if this will be a lifelong habit. Seriously, if he could fold in half to keep an eye on things, he would.
So I was telling a friend with a son about two months older than the boys about Magnus and the potty. She asked if we were teaching him to stand and do it. I said that we were starting with sitting down, after all, he would need a step-stool anyway. She said her husband sits sometimes and she couldn't understand it.
The concept of a male standing in front of the john, doing his business, finishing up, admiring his work and then dropping his drawers, sitting down and getting back to work makes no sense to me. And you don't sit down on a potty where there is stuff in the bowl. Unless you have to hop up to grab a roll of paper across the room, that is a no-no.
Now somebody please explain to me why I have a compulsive need to wash my hands after I pee when I already have the water running to warm up for my shower.
