Boys Will Be Boys

The other day Slade was playing outside and all of a sudden ran inside and told me that he had to go potty. I started walking to the bathroom to help him out, but he ran back outside yelling, "Potty in the dirt! Potty in the dirt!" I walked toward the backdoor and this is what I found... He had already pulled his underwear down and had peed in the dirt! You see, Skylar lets him do this when he is home and under his supervision but I tell Slade that he needs to go potty in the toilet when mommy helps him. I don't believe it was a good idea to let him potty outside, because he now wants to do it everywhere there is dirt or rocks. It's really a good time when he wants to pee in the grocery store parking lot.




After he was done, I asked him to put his underwear back on, and he told me, "no, mom." He stood there swinging his arms until I did it for him. We all want our children to learn to be independent but now I am thinking he has too much freedom...don't think anyone is going to want to play in our backyard after reading this.
