Graduation Party
This summer Will, me, & all of the kids attended a graduation party. It was a nice party with tons of food and a bounce house to keep the kids busy. Since the bouncer was there, the kids were jumping & taking periodic breaks to run back to our table for a bite of food or to take a drink, then back to jumping. I saw Ethan climb out of the bounce house & when he didn't appear at our table soon after, I started looking around.
And I saw him.
He was standing in front of a tree, back turned to us, pants down, getting ready to pee on the tree.
But I wasn't the only one who noticed this, naturally. We heard laughter from some other tables as they noticed his bare butt and I, embarrassed, was briskly walking around the tent & tables to stop him. Well, he heard people laughing too, and turned around to see what everyone was laughing about, flashing the entire tent.
I got to him soon after that, and led him into the house to use the bathroom, having the you-only-pee-outside-when-we're-at-home conversation for the thousandth time.
Birthday Party
Later on in the summer, at their Birthday party, he also peed outside on a tree in front of everyone at his party. He did this about SEVEN TIMES, not caring that I asked him to go in the house when people are over because he "really had to go." (Damn you, capri sun juice pouches!!!!). Except then, just standing on the tree & peeing wasn't good enough I guess, because as he was going he started circling the tree. The fact that the last time he did this, towards the end of the party, our dog Lola ran up & started trying to DRINK THE PEE only encouraged him that this was funny. It was gross.
And of course, they both seem to think that "let's go in the house," "it's time for bed," or we need to GO, we're running late" mean scream-like-a-maniac-and-run-like-hell-while-giggling-like-you-are-hilarious-when-Mom-and-Dad-chase-you. Never a dull moment.
