(Tee-)Tee'd Off

The boys are VERY competetive with each other in anything and everything. They compete/fight over who's going to check the mail, they compete/fight over who is first to finish a meal ("I'm the first that's done!"). They fight over who sits in the front of the tub or who gets out of the car first. But recently, as they were stripping down for bath time, they both had to potty at the same time! We do have two toilets in the house, but this was about two brothers attempting to claim one throne as their own! Nathan was able to get his pants undone first, so he relieved himself first, to Evan's heated frustration. I've told them before, "You're BOYS! As long as you only need to tee-tee, you can go at the SAME TIME - just keep your aim straight!" But Evan apparently had such difficulty getting out of his pants that Nathan had already finished, flushed and gloated by the time Evan was ready to potty! By that time, Nathan was standing at the sink washing his hands.


Tip: NEVER gloat at an already angry brother and then TURN YOUR BACK!
ESPECIALLY IF HE'S ABOUT TO PEE!!!


Evan decided to let Nathan know that "winning" isn't always the last word! He did a 180, turning his aim from the toilet to the back of Nathan's legs, and hosed down his older brother who began crying out for Laura in shock! Evan didn't say a word - he just stared Nathan down with a look of vindication on his not-so-sweet face, and then jumped into the bathtub before Nathan could get in the front.

Yay for boys!
