Finally, there's someone else besides me who gets it. <br />Now multiply that whole thing by about 10 and you would be visiting my two older boys bathroom. The down side to that is that I have wool berber carpet in their bathroom that now needs to be replaced, or ripped out. Boys!<br />The worst part is when you have to use the bathroom yourself and you run to the toilee really fast and lift the lid and there's pee all over it.

I grew up with all boys. I had to share a bathroom with 4 brothers!!! Yep! I learned early on that I had to TRAIN my brothers to use that toilet respectfully. I was NOT going to be their maid!!! They did, and they were great! I have 2 girls and 1 boy. I have insisted he always be respectful in this regard in bathroom manners too!! Good job Mama!!!!<br />KrisKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578853096888320012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144575903728372238.post-22775017874111651602011-03-24T21:27:05.102-07:002011-03-24T21:27:05.102-07:00Hi Kerri!

There's got to be some connection.<br /><br />Only girls here so luckily pee'ing on the floor is not one of our MANY issues. Now flushing? That IS on our list. They are both freaked out by the toilet flushing. WHEN they do it, they stand as far away as they can, flush and RUN!<br /><br />Hope Brady learned his lesson.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648861548786258875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144575903728372238.post-67502030123688984712011-03-24T18:15:07.224-07:002011-03-24T18:15:07.224-07:00Yep!

I have heard from so many moms of boys that they do this. I haven't had this happen yet with Parker but I do find myself saying, "hey watch where you are aiming!!!" more times than I care to. Whodathunkit? I mean, I figured once they learned how to do it, they wouldn't be spraying all over the place. **sigh**Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847539536518547588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144575903728372238.post-34658391743897046062011-03-24T15:24:52.804-07:002011-03-24T15:24:52.804-07:00Good for you to make him clean it up.

My daughter on the other hand is not. Her room makes me insane. I am actually attacking it myself this week while she is at her dads. Needless to say she probably is going to hate me when she gets home. She had her chance to do it herself. Now its mommy's turn. The bathroom is my biggest pet peeve.

(he would shoot me for saying this! haha). I always feared having a boy that would make my house smell like pee. I think you and Eric did the right thing. I think Brady will learn quickly from this, he is such a great kid! <br /><br />I love the pictures of him using the vacuum.

Now that he's 8 not so good. His poor mother. Another fact: When he was little he would get up super early and wanted to do something. He'd dust, sweep, whatever we told him. But the hard fact is, when he's old enough to do real work, he'll never get out of bed in the morning... be warned.!!!Muffy's Markshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826630430126318583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144575903728372238.post-3302243122176295832011-03-24T08:54:59.892-07:002011-03-24T08:54:59.892-07:00Whenever I walk into the bathroom and smell the &q...Whenever I walk into the bathroom and smell the "pee" smell I immediately start searching!
