Here's the Proof

For some reason, Will has again begun to wet his pants.  He just waits too long and then ends up "leaking" and needing to change his clothes.  Needless to say this is getting irritating.  I just did laundry yesterday, but with 4 changes of clothes in one day, it needs to be done again.  Grrr. 

After the forth accident of the day, I went back to my tactic for tackling the problem the first time, locking him in the bathroom.  (Its more like a prolonged time out in the hallway.)  Will was sitting in the hallway while I was putting some stuff away in Ella's room, when he approached me and said, "Sorry for peeing in my pants."  "I know" I replied, "but you're still in time-out".   Will came back a few seconds later; "you know mom, I learned about forgiveness at church."  Then a pause, "you're supposed say 'I forgive you'. You are supposed to forgive when you are mad at someone."  Oh Geeze!  I'm so glad he is learning about this stuff, maybe he'll remember what the bathroom is for too.  I'll tell his Sunday school teacher to teach him about that.

On Sunday the boys went for a bike ride and I had a chance to get in the garden and divide up some day lilies that  had begun to over run my front flower bed.  When the boys returned, Jack was questioning about the plants, asking if it was a bulb.  (He has been learning about plants in science)  I said, "its not really a bulb, its more like a fat part on a root."  "Oh", Jack said, "Its a, ummm" as he tapped his head, you could tell he was thinking hard, "Its a Corum!"  I looked over at Lewis with a look of questioning.  Neither of us had ever heard the term, but we didn't say anything, even if it sounded mad up to us.

Then yesterday I was looking up plants for my shady spot by the garage, and I came across different varietis of bulbs, and you'll never guess, Corum was a type of bulb.  But really, it was more of a fat root.  Hahaha!  Wow, my boys can pay attention.
