Captain Science uses the bathroom to stall. Some days, in the course of an hour of school work, he has taken no fewer than four bathroom breaks. Is he reading in there? Hiding? Going through my toiletries? I’m not entirely sure I want to know, to be honest.
The other day, after bathroom trip number three in one half-hour, I told the Captain that having to urinate that frequently was usually indicative of a health problem. Did we need to go get blood work and a urinalysis done? The little toot–who, like his name, is ever the scientist–declared that he hadn’t had blood work in a long time and he enjoyed it, so sure, bring on the blood work. Ok, got me there, kid. You always have gotten a kick out of the blood work.
Today I haven’t mentioned the bathroom trip thing at all, but Captain Science just made his announcement, “This is the first time I’ve gone to the bathroom today. The first time. Well, ok, the second time.” If you’re keeping count at home, be sure to make that down. Two bathroom trips so far. I’ll be sure to keep you updated as our bathroom situation changes.
You can still win this. Tell him that the blood for urine difficulties is drawn from the appendage that also provides the urine!
Love it!
