An entirely true story by Emily White.

This morning Cason woke up totally dry so it had been, what? 10 hours since he peed? So I'm sure his bladder is quite full. So when he woke up, we headed to the bathroom and he sat and the potty and proceeded to create a fountain, spraying at least two feet in the air and four feet out. I mean there was some serious arc. I grabbed the nearest towel (don't you want to come dry your hands at my house now?) and covered his parts and started laughing.

About that time Kendall walked in and slipped, face down, in the puddle of pee. I leaned over to pick her up, dropping the towel off of Cason. So the fountain resumed hitting Kendall smack in the center of her head.

I know I have a tendency to "exaggerate" or "over state" things. But please believe me when I say the girl had pee running down her head, down all over her face and down her neck. She was drenched, dripping in her brother's pee. She went straight into the bath.

And this has been another exciting episode of Notable Moments in Potty Training.

atleast it was sanitary. too bad she didn't have a cut or burn on her face that needed healing...i heard pee works great for that (well actually that's what they said on survivor).

Oh No!
Well, if they still have "25 random things" lists when she is older, she has a headstart!! Its not everyday you get a pee shower :)

not so zen momma said...

Poor Kendall. Thanks for the morning laugh.

I agree with Jessica, think of it as "fire drill" for when she ever gets stung by a jellyfish. She and her brother already have a system worked out!

wow...haha...that's so funny. I have some jokes but all of them are inappropriate so I'll keep them to myself! :)

Emily, to funny!!! What do you want, a dry pull-up or a dry daughter?

Dara said...

Meanwhile if you ever get stung by a jelly fish you're all set.

Audrey said...

I have an even funnier one. I'll message you.

Dana said...

Oh my goodness! I was laughing out loud on that one.

Elizabeth said...

May I ask what Kendall was wearing during this shower 'o pee? That way if that outfit ever gets hand-me-downed to Anna, I'll know to purposefully misplace that particular item. :)

Too funny, girl. I knew it had to be funny when I picked Nathan up for lunch and his first sentence to me was, "Did you read Emily's blog this morniing?"

Gina said...

And that is what makes me thank the Lord I only have girls.

Wow, that's a great story. Your poor daughter.

We taught our son to sit to pee because I just thought it would make for a cleaner bathroom (now he's older he pees standing up but I really think it made a difference in bathroom tidiness during his toddler years) but you have to also teach boys to, um, use their hand to aim the stream.

(You never know what you'll end up saying in a stranger's comment box. Or I never know, anyway. And hi, I came here from Navel Gazing.)

Lita said...

The old "sit on the toilet backwards" trick works well. More space to learn the art of aiming. Plus, if they miss, there's less square footage of clean-up.

Laughing like a nutter over here.

And slightly terified.

I have a 22 month old boy who is very interested in all things potty. I was one of 3 girls. I am so out of my element here, it's scary.

Note to self, go get some non-skid mats for the bathroom...

Jessica said...

Way to go Cason!!!!

Melanie said...

That is hilarious!

Oh boys!!
