In a moment of chaos-- Jolie needed to be nursed, Olivia needed to be hugged, Nyah needed supervision, the dog needed to be let out to do his business, you get the idea-- I sent my "responsible" child, Austin to let the dog out. In our new house the yard isn't fenced, but we have an area with a dog pen where Dade is trained to go. All Austin needed to do was take Dade to this spot, wait while the dog did his thing, and then bring him back inside. Things calmed down and I suddenly wondered where the boy and his dog were, so I went to check and found my son peeing in the spot where Dade goes to the bathroom. When I asked if he just went pee in the yard he said, "Yeah, but it was in Dade's spot." Like that made it okay. Who's child is this?
On one hand its horrifying! Did anyone see, start in surprise and run down a mailbox on their way to taking their kids to school? And on the other hand its hilarious--my seven year old, long ago potty trained and instructed in "we go to the bathroom in the toilet" thought it would be a good idea to pee in the yard! I'm laughing about it now!

try multiplying that by 3 and sometime oh so soon by 4. I believe there is something in a boys make up that they like to see themselves pee on things. In my home we have the same rule of only going in the potty, but then they see the 3 year old go they all end up doing it. Most of the time I only find out about it later that night. Boys are so funny.
