My favorite conversation from our hotel days thus far happens frequently when Ethan goes into the bathroom and locks the door. It goes something like this: Lincoln: "Ethan - you in dere?"
Ethan: "Go away, Link. I need some privacy."
Lincoln: "Oh, you need PIvacy... You poopin', Ethan?"
Ethan: "Yes, Lincoln. Please go away. I need some privacy."
Lincoln: "Oh. Pivacy to poop, Ethan?"
Ethan (perturbed): "Go away, Lincoln!" (Nobody poops well under pressure.)
Ethan (perturbed): "Go away, Lincoln!" (Nobody poops well under pressure.)
Lincoln (finally wandering away): "Moooom! Ethan need some pivacy 'cause he's poopin'."
It sounds to me like Lincoln is ready to potty train, don't you think? He knows exactly what's going on, and I'm committed to teach him...as soon as we don't live in a hotel anymore. I'm only just a little nervous that Lincoln's "monster" will come out. He doesn't like to be messed with...and certainly doesn't like to be told what to do.
Why is it that we find so much humor in the bathroom habits of our children? Although I know this exchange tops Ethan's obnoxious little brother scale, I can't help but giggle each time it happens. I love motherhood...mostly.
