Chatting with Logan

So the other night I had a pretty funny conversation with Logan about the toilet. He has been leaving the toilet seat up, and it drives me nuts! So, I decided to talk with him about it. This is about how it went...
Me: Logan, after you finshing going potty, you need to put the toilet lid down.
Logan: No, I put it up to pee and down to poop.
Me: okay, that's good but when you pee, and then flush the potty - you need to put the lid back down
Logan: Why?
Me: ummmm...good question
JR: because if you leave it up the fish wish jump out!
Me: I give JR the "what in hell are you talking about" look.
Logan: There aren't any fish in the toilet
Me: That's right, daddy is being silly. But you have to put the seat down because mommy will fall in if you leave it up.
Logan: Why do you sit down when you o pee pee?
Me: Because I am ma girl, and girls sit down. You are a boy, and boys stand up to pee.
Logan: Daddy stands up to pee.
Me: (How in the hell did we get here???? This is the thought running through my mind) Yup, daddy is a boy so he stands up.
Logan: Well, I cant put the seat down because then I pee all over it.
Me: (UGHHHHHHHHHH) Your right, so come with me and I will show you.

We walk into the bathroom.
Me: Lift the lid...(he does). Do you need to potty?
Logan: Not right now.
Me: Okay, well lets just pretend you went potty, so what do you do after you pee?
Logan: I flush the toilet.
Me: That's right, so when you flush the toilet, I want you to put the lid back down...now go ahead and try....(he does). Now what do you do?
Logan: Wash my hands.
Me: That is right! So let's go ahead and wash your hands..(he does.)Okay, so that is what I want you to do each time...I want you to put the seat down after you finish, Okay?
Logan: Okay. Hey, mommy...
Me: yes sir
Logan: I have to pee now!
Me: (laughing and sighing on the inside) okay, well go ahead!

He used to always put the seat down...but somewhere along the line he just quit..and now is acting like he's never heard anything like it before. Geez. It was an interesting chat.

Some other good news is that they have moved the completion date on the house to Feb. 24. Which is much better for me, I feel like we may actually move in sometime mid-march...but that is still a VERY hopeful date. It probably wont be until the end of March...which means that we will probably have to move back Logan's birthday party to either March 31 or April 7. It will depend on when all of this gets finished. Which also sucks because I am going to have to send out invites....and therefore, kind of need to do so ahead of time. So I am thinking April 7 will be a safe bet...we will for sure be in the house, and have it all put together by then...it's just going to be difficult to explain why he has to wait 2 weeks....especially since he is already looking forward to it this year.
