Shooting it on

Okay, so this my (Steve's) first attempt at "blogging", so forgive me if I am not familiar with the protocol. First off, a little update about me... I've been in my "orientation month" for clinical anesthesia the last two weeks. So far everything is going well, but the thought of being alone in a room is quite scary right now. Sarah has been really working hard the last several days trying to clean the house up so when we travel up to Michigan this weekend, we won't come back to a long list of things to do.

Now we come to the focus of almost every blog, the boys. Kyler is teething right now and has two tiny little teeth poking through his lower gums. It's really cute, but he does seem to be screaming a little more lately. He is learning more every day and today he and I had a brief but very fun game of Peek-a-boo and he just laughed and laughed in a deep belly laugh every time I showed him my face in a new pose.

But the excitement of the night definitely came from Brayden tonight. I was getting him ready for bed and told him he had to "go potty" before he went to bed, so I sent him into the bathroom by himself and told him to call me when he was done. This is our usual routine. I was in my office studying and could hear everything, and the sound I heard was not what I expected, so went to check on things and found my three year old son swinging his penis up and down, and back and forth, effectively painting the bathroom wall with his urine! I quickly told him to point into the toilet and asked him what he was doing, to which he replied "I'm shooting it on the wall!" Further questioning revealed that he was pretending that he was a fireman and was using his "hose" to shoot water on the wall to put out an imaginary fire. Sarah and I were laughing too hard to reprimand him, but we did tell him that he was NOT to do that again. We then decided that this warranted a "post" on the Dillon Family Blog. Hope you enjoyed reading the story as much as we did living it!
