Comfortable in his Skin

I just got back from picking up Lily at the bus. Amanda wanted to go for a run, so I took Noah with me. He used to have a very sour attitude about going to the bus, but now that he knows Maren really wants to see him he seems to have a better attitude. That's fine with us.

He and Maren were playing and then Noah kind of peeled off and walked a bit down the sidewalk. He announced that he "had to go pee-pee." He then proceeded to drop trou right there and pee on a tree. Everyone at the bus stop thought it was rather funny. I apologized for him, but they didn't seem too upset.

This is a boy who is comfortable in his own skin. I take that to be a good thing, but we're going to have to talk about when it is appropriate to pee outside and when it is not. I'm glad that he sees the simple joy of doing it though. And when you've gotta go, you've gotta go. We'll work on it.
