Connor should have been named Pissy Willow. My child has an obsession with urination. I mean, an absolute OBSESSION. He doesn't want to just use the potty, he's not content with simply grabbing his "dinger" like other little boys; this child is crazy about pee pee. He wants to pee every few minutes, he sticks in hands down his diaper every time he pees, and worst of all he loves nothing more than to strip down naked and pee on our household furnishings.
Yes, I said pee on our household furnishings. In the beginning, Connor was content to simply get out of the bathtub, smile sweetly, and pee in the floor. As of late he has decided that peeing in the floor just isn't enough. We've upgraded to urinating on more important things in the house.
Part of me wonders, is this a man thing? Is my precious little baby marking his territory like a dog? What else could explain why he secretly removes his clothes and pees on his dirty clothes pile or climb into the recliner and pee all over the back of the chair?
The ultimate territorial marking to date? What I like to call The Great Bike Escapade. Santa brought Noah a new bike. Noah doesn't really care for his bike, but he doesn't want Connor to touch it. This fact alone makes Connor love the bike immensely. He can't ride it (since his legs are like an oompa loompa's) but he climbs up it just to sit and pretend he's riding. Needly to say, the arguments over the bike are a little like nails scraping down a chalkboard. A few days ago I happened upon Connor sitting on Noah's bike (it stays inside the house), with his diaper dangling off one ankle. After returning with a fresh diaper, I find Connor smiling and laughing while he peed all over Noah's bike and my bedroom floor!
Then and there I knew it, we'd chosen the wrong name. He should've never been named Connor, Pissy Willow is in fact much more appropriate. Don't you agree?
