Letting the kids pee outside is usually only appreciated by us Dads... but I always thought it was funny as hell


In other news my middle child turned 18 today!
 

we were outside sunday afternoon playing in yard, had the sprinkler going...my fully potty trained 4 yr old said she had to pee and wanted to pee outside in the backyard like her brother does sometimes.  

Saw the birthday cake on FB...HBD!!!

baseball season is in full swing for both kiddos.  double header tonight unless the forecasted rain is short and sweet.  minisnick has 3 games a week snickette has 1 and it usually ends up on a night her brother has a game...divide and conquer has become our a motto lately. 

Minisnick started the season wanting to pitch (first year kid pitch), and the coach has rule..you want to pitch you have to agree to catch. He is one of 3 kids that can actually pitch with any consistency but  He really likes catching now, wasn't a fan of catching last year in machine pitch.  holy cow...kid pitch is painful to watch.    walk, walk, bases stolen, walk walk walk more bases stolen

When he first started playing, my son wanted to catch because he got to wear all the catcher gear.  He wasn't very good at catching but damn he looked cool.

I also forgot how much laundry a potty training kid goes through.

Don't know what your situation is, but we didn't have a laundry issue as we had our boys just stay nekkid.  They caught on pretty quickly when they needed to go to the bathroom.

 

[matt267 PE]

so you coming up this week?

Nope.

That's what we started off doing too. Now we're just dealing with accidents.

 

[MA_PE]

Nope.

Sad but very true.  Dammmitt.

Don't know if this fits here but any pointers on entertaining a 4-year old with something constructive when you're forced to do some of your PE studying in the same house with your child?

For the most part, my wife was able to keep the little one away while I studied.

Same here. Maybe that could be your kiddo’s designated media time? Otherwise our 3-year old likes building blocks, big legos and picture books.

Toy Story on repeat

lol for some reason, she is not into Toy Story. She prefers to sit on the floor flipping through the CERM and trying to read it. She also drags her library books in too...but she's 4 so she reads out loud. That's when I just take a break from studying and just listen to the videos with headphones. I'm happy that she wants to read along with me but I'm a little frustrated because I really need total silence.

Hahaha, i taught my daughter how to draw a cut-fill diagram like that. Neither one of us remember that crap anymore though.

It’s been a while since mine did this but this brought back a lot of memories when I saw this today....

 

[civilrobot PE etc etc]

I was here a week ago asking for advice for managing the kid while studying for the PE. Husband has stepped up tremendously. As a mom, you think you need to figure out how to balance everything. Sometimes, you just can't... Thanks for the reality check guys

When I was studying for the PE the wife was also going to nursing school. We had 3 kids and we were always fighting for study time - it totally sucked!!!

For us it was Wall-E on repeat.
