Today I put Bennett down to nap and Austin and I ran some errands out while Chris worked at home in his office. I don't know what transpired during Bennett's nap time, but I when I went in to wake him up when I got home, this is what I found.
He was fast asleep on the floor, complete with Jimmy Doggie and clutching his ice cream. And THIS is what was beside him on the floor.
Yes, that is his little potty full of pee pee and cars. Yes, he had peed in it right before nap and yes, I had not actually bothered to dump it out (in pregnant state or even not I confess I do not clean it every time). This has never really been a problem before. But what possessed him to fill it with his cars and Mack truck is beyond me. Hence the title- "only a boy" for surely only a boy would play cars in pee during naptime and then fall asleep beside it. However, I am sure I will have plenty of surprises with what Mei Mei is capable of too in a few years.
We have also had a resurrection of Bee Man, or rather Bee Men lately. Austin and Bennett have both been "Bee Man". Austin likes to pretend he is good Bee Man and Bennett is bad Bee Man and they fight. Bennett walks around making a buzzing noise. Sometimes though, like in this last picture, Bennett gets upset that he is bad Bee Man and gets really mad at Austin when he keeps fighting him. But they are pretty funny.
Gotta love Bennett in his undies under the outfit.
The fall schedule is about to be in full swing. Austin starts back at school tomorrow. We officially decided to wait another semester with Bennett, since we are privileged to have lots of family visiting this fall and he is still not yet 3 and doing well but still not always consistent with potty training. Considering his extreme love of being at my side all the time, he probably won't mind waiting though I think he will love it when the time comes. Chris' weekly schedule is about to pick up speed too and (very thankfully for this pregnant momma) the weather is cooling off a little bit!
