Little Pitchers Have Big Eyes

My younger son's (YS) second birthday is this Saturday. Hmmm...that day sounds very familiar like there might be something happening in the Blogosphere. Wait a minute! It's the kick off day for the Happy Birth Days Carnival happening right here at FF&P!

YS received a Fisher Price Little People toy house in the mail for his birthday from my MIL. It has a of couple of bedrooms, a kitchen, a washer, a dryer, a tub and a toilet. YS was quite excited to play with it. So was my older son (OS). In fact OS took the lead during the pretend play with YS interjecting every once in a while. I enjoyed watching the kids. In fact I decided to pull out the video camera and record them playing together. OS had the Mommy and Daddy figurines get up. Then Mommy went to the gym and Daddy took a shower. Then Mommy went home and peed and then took a shower. Then Mommy made breakfast. The Mommy made breakfast again. Then Daddy made breakfast. The Mommy made breakfast. Then Mommy peed. I interrupted at this point. Did Daddy have to pee? OS firmly told me "No, just Mommy." Hmmm. He had Mommy complete a variety of activities, alternating each with her having to pee. Seriously, why was the Mommy peeing so much? I asked OS if perhaps the baby needed to pee. He again firmly stated "No, just Mommy."

When I shared this story with the Big Giraffe, he began laughing. Apparently I clock quite a number of repetitions in the bathroom. Who knew? Well, apparently everyone but me.

For the record, I'm not diabetic, and I do not have a UTI. I just drink a lot of water, particularly after working out in the morning, and I hate feeling like I have to pee even a little bit.

A. Elliot's Lesson Learned: It may not be the trips to the park or the playtime in the backyard that your kids will re-enact when playing "Mommy"; it might be how often you pee.

For those of us who didn't get an instruction manual with our babies and for whom parenting hasn't always gone as planned. On a more serious note this blog is about supporting a woman's ability to make her own choices about parenting including the choice, for whatever reason, to bottle feed her babies formula.
