Our church is meeting at the beach to hang out every Thursday night this summer and last night was the first night we made it there. I was a little bit apprehensive about going with a 2 1/2 year old and 3 month old, not knowing quite what to expect and expecting to be chasing th 2 1/2 year old down the beach with the 3 month old in my arms. It wasn’t that bad at all. Ethan was really good and played in the sand nearby most of the time we were there. There were a few other kids his age there and they played next to each other, ate a little sand, and had a great time getting as sandy as possible. At one point they moved over to this curb right next to the port-a-potty and started jumping off of the curb into the sand. They were loving it. The next thing we know, Ethan is leaning with his hands on the port-a-potty, pants down, and is peeing on the side of it. All we could see is his little bottom with his trunks around his ankles. It was so funny and everyone thought it was great. I so wish we had had the camera. He kept his pants dry the whole time we were out. I suppose I would really rather him go outside the port-a-potty than have to take him inside it and deal with that. I am very grateful he took matters into his own hands.
