Sam had a sibling visit today, so I dropped James off with a friend of mine. She has three children of her own and was more than happy to add James to her mix. I packed James' Spiderman bag with an extra set of underwear and pants (just in case) along with some snacks. James didn't use the restroom the whole time I was gone (almost three hours), but shortly after I arrived, he told me he needed to go potty. I took him into the bathroom, helped pull down his pants and then sat him on the toilet...kind of held him as he sat on the toilet since they don't have a seat insert. Well...I didn't realize that I hadn't helped pull his pants down far enough, so even though James was sitting on the toilet, his underwear and the back of his pants still ended up getting peed on. It was all Mommy's fault on that one! Next time I will be extra sure to double check that. The funny part is generally JJ will stand when he pees, but I thought he had to poop, so I had sat him down. He did end up needing to poop before we left his friends' house as well.
My friend said James was a terrific listener. He would do whatever she asked the very first time she asked him. That was wonderful to hear! It always makes you even more proud of your child when someone else hands out compliments about their behavior.
