We were playing outside in the front yard last night, when Max started to do the little "potty dance." I just quickly asked if he needed to go, and he started running towards the front door. I hurried behind him, to make sure he could get the door open and told him not to worry about taking his shoes off or anything like that.
He started to pull down his shorts while still on the sidewalk, and I was like, "Whoa Buddy, wait until your inside!"
He looked up at me innocently and said, "I want to help make the flowers grow."
I was kind of confused at first, thinking we had to get him inside before there was an accident. And then I saw Ross all over this! I remembered we were at a playground and there weren't any bathrooms, so Ross took him over to the grass one time to pee. He didn't want to do it at first because, well, it wasn't the bathroom. So Ross gave him some story about it not being a big deal when we couldn't find the bathroom and well, it helps the grass grow...
So, I just decided to let him do his part. I mean, he said it with such sincerity! He really wanted to help mama's flowers after all. So I looked around real quick, and told him to go for it.
He hesitated and looked up at me again with that sweet, innocent face and asked, "well, which one needs it the most?"
* I think this is partly because he has heard me comment how everyone else's flowers bloom before mine! This picture is our first flower. Neighbors have had them for weeks already. He is always looking out for me!
