The New Urinal

Luke has decided that peeing in one of these is way cooler than peeing in the toilet. And I have to admit, I'm kind of liking it as well. Now he doesn't get pee all over the toilet. Let me back up and explain how this came to be. And it wasn't my idea, it was the ingenious idea of a 3-year-old.

The Boys have a water wheel that they play with in the tub. They have big red party cups to fill with water and pour over the wheel while in the tub. One evening, while I was drying Gavin off and Luke was still in the tub, he had to relieve himself, and what better place than in the cup. (He doesn't want to pee in his nice clean tub water after all). He fills the cup and then says, "Here you go Mommy." I take it from him, expecting water, and it's not. From then on, he MUST pee in the cup. Now I have red party cups in both bathrooms.

My only fear now is that the will fill it and drop it while trying to pour it in the toilet. I help him with this, but he is getting pretty insistent that he CAN DO IT HIMSELF. Hopefully I won't have to mop up any puddles.

Okay, I'm not drinking out of any party cups you hand me ;) He's going to do well in a frat house one day...

Well, we keep empty water bottles in the car because it's a boy thing. Just be glad that it's not chew. My brother left a cup of the wasted chew in the car and I picked it up not knowing what was inside. Thankfully the smell tipped me off before I took a sip.
