The joy of having a baby boy is endless. It really is. Their clothes are all wannabe macho or adorably soft and blue. They look at you with googley eyes and they love you unconditionally and beautifully.

They also pee all the hell all over the place.

This morning I undressed Noah and walked him into the bathroom for a bath in the baby tub. As I lowered him into the tub, feet first, I heard a whooosssshh. He was peeing on the edge of the tub. I quickly turned him toward the sink so the pee would miss the bathtub and he stopped, midstream. I turned him to put him back in the tub and more, whooosssshh. Once again I turned him toward the sink and the stream stopped again. Blah blah blah lather, rinse, repeat, he peed in his bathtub before I even I got him in.

Boys.

This afternoon I changed his diaper and I look away for a half second during which he made a very wet fart. I quickly moved the diaper under him and grabbed a wipe to clean his butt. I was holding his feet in my left hand over his head and as I was wiping his butt he peed over and behind his head, onto the wall and into his hamper.

Boys.

pptp.jpgI have discovered this product, a Pee Pee Tee Pee. Pee Pee Tee Pees are little cotton cones, similiar to those little drinking cups on the sides of fountains. They come five to a package, and they are washable, in the little laundry bag they arrive in. The designs, the BOY designs, natch, include airplanes and camouflage and trucks. They are made under a few different names and a package sells for $8-12.

If you are a more frugal Mom, a cloth diaper, wash-cloth or sock will accomplish the same level of protection.
