Random Boy Stuff
Posted on February 4, 2010 - Filed Under Kids | 8 Comments
Usually, in these random roundups, Dante doesn’t get much space because, well, he doesn’t talk that much yet. BUT he sure does DO stuff, so I thought I’d share some stuff the kids are doing and saying around here.
Last night, Dante called me in after bedtime to tell me he had peed. I went in and he said there was pee on the floor. sigh. We’d JUST put a fresh diaper on him, so I didn’t get why there would be pee on the floor, but when Irving went to change him, he found Dante’s diaper dry and untaped. His pants were mostly dry, too . . . but there was a HUGE puddle on the floor.
“I big boy. No pee in diaper.” He told me. Ummm, I guess we forgot to impress the fact that if you’re not peeing in diapers, you should probably at least aim for a toilet!

The other day, Dorian was sitting in his chair watching me get breakfast ready. He suddenly sighed blissfully and said, “Mama, you are just SO beautiful!” Awwwww!
******************************************
Dorian: “Mama, I want pie food.”
Me: “What’s pie food? I don’t think I know that one.”
Dorian: “Yes, with two breads.”
Me: “Like a sandwich?”
Dorian: “Yes! A sandwich! I want a sandwich!”

We are studying the senses in school and yesterday we tasted dozens of condiments and things in the kitchen to see what was sour, bitter, salty and sweet. Dorian LOVED it! Then his brother came in and he wanted to show him the tastes, as well. But Dante ONLY wanted sugar and honey.
Dorian: “NO, Dante! That’s not bitter. You have to have something BITTER! NOOOOO, no more honey, honey is sweet! You need bitter now.”

Talk to Me, People!
Ummm, some big boys still don´t aim correctly for a toilet!
Dorian is going to grow up to be a Chinese Medicine Man! You need a good balance of all tastes to be healthy.
Enjoy the “you´re so beatiful” phase. My 9 year old son calls me “Mama Fea” when I don´t let him do what he wants. So I ask him: “What do ugly mommies have? Horrible sons!” That sure makes him laugh!
Too funny, Cristina! I’ll remember that horrible sons line when the boys get to that point.
I told Dante he can get up at night to pee in the potty (which is right outside his room) and he seemed excited about that prospect. But promptly fell asleep before he could test it out.
Oh your boys are too cute. With all the gorgeous things they come out with, it takes me back to when my two oldest were little (they’re 14 & 12 now). But luckily I get to relive those wonderful young years with our littlest one(18mths).I hope Dante can stay awake long enough or wake up and try out the night time potty!
I am sure that the whole concept of TT will come soon enough… Then, as Christina said, you just have to make them ‘aim’ straight! Try a coin in the bottom of the toilet and get them to aim… Easy!
Good plan, Bernie! I read somewhere that you can actually buy tissue paper “targets” to float in the toilet.
We’re still working on the midnight potty . . . he used the floor again last night! This is one thing I NEVER anticipated with potty training, lol.
At least he’s thinking about the whole potty/diaper thing – that’s a start! And my hubby likes ‘pie-food’ too!
It is a start! Actually, today we progressed to peeing outside, which I think is a HUGE improvement (no mopping required!).
