On Your Mark, Get Set...



It is inevitable. Whenever it is time to walk out the door and leave the house, my boys always poop. It is as if some signal goes off in their head when they hear the words "go get in the car." It automatically triggers their bowels into action. And if by some twist of fate it doesn't happen when we are walking out the door, they save it for later. A pre-dinner activity. I imagine someday I will walk in and see them having a little pow wow in the corner. This is how their conversation might go...

Ethan: Ok, Ben. Let's pencil in our poop times today. How does 9am and 4pm sound?
Ben: Hmm, 4pm is not good for me. Let's push it back an hour and do 5pm - just when Mom is getting dinner ready. She'll love that.
Ethan: Great idea, Ben! You are new to this, but you have already learned so much. Well done. Now, when is a good time for tantrums?

Gretchen does the SAME THING. She also likes to save her poops for church. She likes the spirit there.
