As the mother of two handsome boys, I feel it is my responsibility to teach them to be gentlemen. And really, overall, they are doing quite well.
They clean up after themselves rather nicely, and generally without much prompting. They are respectful (most of the time), smart, and know that it is very important to be nice to girls (even when they aren't being nice to you).
There is unfortunately, one little thing in particular they haven't mastered: Peeing IN the toilet.
For some reason, this has just been too hard for them to handle. They are reminded constantly to be more careful, and TRY to hit where they're supposed to, but it just proves to be too much. They just can do it. They can certainly hit everywhere else, but just not in the toilet. Frankly, I'm tired of having to clean it up. So, I've come up with a solution.
Tomorrow, they are going to clean the bathroom. Then next weekend, they'll clean it again. Then, if need-be, they'll do it again for the next few weekends. They'll do it over and over again until they get the point and stop peeing everwhere. Sounds fun, huh?! I'm sure they'll agree too, once they find out.
The thought is that maybe they will be more careful if they're the ones that have to clean it up. We'll just have to wait and see... In the meantime, here's a picture for you:
Two little boys who have no idea.
