Deep Sleep

Aaarrggh! I just did my nightly routine of getting Riley up to go potty so that he doesn't have an accident while sleeping, and apparently 'woke' Shannon in the process. Well, technically I don't think Shannon was all the way awake because I caught him emptying his bladder into my laundry basket. I guess I should be thankful the basket was full of dirty absorbent clothes...

Did I mention my boys were really deep sleepers?

I remember one time while babysitting Charlie and Andrew I walked into Andrew's room and caught him peeing at the corner of his bed. I didn't know how to react! I didn't want to freak out because he was obviously sleeping and I didn't want to upset him. So I just calmly walked over and said, "Andrew, this isn't the bathroom." By that time he was already finished so I put him back into bed and cleaned the floor. I think that EVERYONE, has a story like this. But like you said, luckily it was into a basket of dirty clothes!

Love,
Flea

Ummm, I remember my boy peeing in someone's golf shoes one night when we weren't in our home! Guess this happens and maybe runs in the family!

My husband had a similar incident at his dad and step-mom's house one night. It was a dog bed in their room. Their room just happens to be right next to the bathroom. He always "reminds" us that there is a small margin of error between those two doors. He doesn't like to admit that he may have been drinking (yes, he was that old, though I'm not sure of the exact age).

Good points Flea and Laura! Shannon has a thing for mistaking baskets for toilets, and he's always heading in the right direction when this happens, just a few feet or a doorway off. Just ask my mom about her toy basket!

Kellie, a shoe, a toilet, it's all the same...

June, my boys are obsessed with all things pee-pee and potty. I don't post 90% of what they say/do in reference to this. Trust me, there was a ton of references yesterday with red water balloons...
