I have been a little remiss in my blogging duties and I blame it all on daylight savings. We now have sunshine until 7:30pm and it seems I can't stop playing long enough to blog.
Nevertheless the stories keep piling up...so...

On Sunday we were reminded of the joy of having a 2yr old boy around the house. We had invited two other families over for Easter dinner and we were all seated in the backyard enjoying the feast.
As I sat there inhaling my food, oblivious to the world around me, Ryan (2) came up to me and stated that he needed to go to the bathroom. I told him thanks for telling me and that he could just go by himself, something I have said numerous times these past months since potty training.
As I refocused on my ham and potatoes, Ryan returned to his food instead of the bathroom. I noticed this but, being in my food trance, quickly concluded that he must not have needed to go so bad.
A few seconds later I was startled by kids screaming and was forced to pull my head up from my plate of food.
As I looked I beheld Ryan standing on the bench of the picnic table urinating in his pants. He was smiling at me as pee flowed down his pants leg, off the bench and into a large puddle that that was creeping towards the feet of terrified kids.
After absorbing this scene I turned my head, mouth still full of food, towards my loving wife. "Oops" I tried to say with my eyes. She shot back a glance that was at least two full paragraphs!!
Calmly in front of our guests she reminded me that he was wearing a belt and had needed help.
Oh Yeah.
So she grabbed Ryan and I took the pitcher of water and diluted the urine puddle. And just like that we all went back to eating.
Man those were good potatoes!

Poor Ryan -forced to go wee in his britches!
We had the same experience during our Easter picnic...except Andrew gave no warning. All the bigger kids delighted in telling and retelling the story.

Like I said, you were fortunate enough to be in the company of experienced parents who are no longer phased by urine puddles, even during dinner. We had a blast, pee incident included!
So happy you loved the potatoes! We'll have to bring you some more sometime.
Eldon you are sooo male;
oblivious to the core!!!
Are you really back in the saddle - or are you just teasing us? I miss your post. No one is as clever a writer as you.
I love that he was smiling. That is by far the best part of the story.
I still miss you!
I'm thinking he's fallen off the saddle again....
