Lately I've been positively reinforcing every tiny milestone the boys have with, "Wow, Ben! You took off your shoes all by yourself! Such a big boy! Great job!" Or, "Tommy, you put your bowl in the sink so nicely! Thank you! You are getting so big!" I am always bragging up their big boy behavior.
Yesterday I was on my way to the bathroom with my little shadow, Ben, following closely behind. I was desperate for just a moment alone (what's that?) so when I saw he was planning on entering the bathroom with me I turned around and said, "No-no, Ben. I want to go to the bathroom all by myself."
Ben immediately gasped and said, "WOW! Good job, Mom!"

That's very cute!
That's hilarious! My kids still try to follow me into the bathroom, or must talk to me the second I'm in there. It's just like getting on the phone.
What a funny story! Love it!

my daughter has been cheering me on when i go to the bathroom, too, since she has been getting cheered on herself for her newfound potty success!
Hee hee!
To the bathroom by myself? What a concept... ;-P
I love it, love it love it!! The new header with all of your angels-- you are very blessed, you know? :-)
I'm proud of you for going to the bathroom by yourself and I hate to spoil the moment, but, when Grace is walking, your bathroom is no longer yours.
LMAO! Who knew, all this time they just thought you needed help!
LOL! And way to go! That's always hard to do.
Ha! :) I love it!

Oh now THAT'S hilarious! Too funny. Clever kiddos.
Kids... you can't make this stuff up! Nice story, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the smile :) What a sweetie!
Yep - gotta love this stuff. Congratulations on the potw. I've been home with my boys for almost 8 years. It definitely changes your perspective.
Once upon a time, I thought luxury was sitting under a palm tree in the Caribbean, watching a sunset with my coconut full of rum.
Now, it's using the toilet alone, all alone, and no talking through the closed door, either. If you're not bleeding or on fire, it can wait.
Oh the memories this evoked... my late mom often said that she never got used to going to the loo and closing the door completely because of all the years we were growing up and she left it ajar so she could still hear us if we got into mischief in the brief time it took her to ... well you know
Congrats on the POTD mention!
LOL! Boy did this post bring back memories!
Congrats on POTW.

I totally didn't see that one coming. I'm passing this on to my Mom friends.
Congrats on your POTW mention.
Cheers,

Kids really do say the funniest things don't they.

A cute, cute story that I'm sure Ben will enjoy telling when he has children of his own! :)
