First we are beginning to potty train and Seth always follows all of us to the bathroom and loudly proclaims that we are peeing while trying to imitate us. At Mimi’s house he has his own potty separate from the regular toilet that he will sit on and “pee”. He does this every time she goes in the bathroom without fail...until this time.
Second, this truck has the utmost devotion in his life. When we get to Mimi’s house he runs to the truck first and then says hi to Mimi. He will spend hours riding it around. He has on occasion lost his truck for short periods due to unsafe usage because he learned he could park it near furniture and stand on it. He has not done this in some time because he really doesn’t want to lose his truck. It is the live of his short life so far after all.
Third, he is running headlong into the “terrible twos” and it is presenting mostly as challenges to us and testing his limits. Most of the time it ends with a time out or a discussion depending on the circumstance. In this case it ended with a lecture, a picture, and lots of laughter.
What happened was Mimi had gone to the bathroom and Seth had not followed. She knew he was focused on his toys so while she was surprised, she wasn’t concerned. All was quiet, no loud noises or screaming to alert her to any catastrophes. Mimi came out of the bathroom several minutes later and Seth was not where she left him. She looked around the room and was presented with this scene:
Mimi was quite surprised as Seth had not put the truck there before and certainly hadn’t climbed up on it there. He also appeared perfectly poised to take off on the road like he had places to go and people to see. The cherry on top is the look on his face which seems to say, “Yeah I’m up here, what are you going to do about it?”
One thing is for sure, we are never going to get bored!
