The thought of the men in my house peeing in the back yard makes me physically uncomfortable! <br />Not wanting to increase the jinx chance ... *distracts gods of outside peeing with a toilet roll* I really hope your first sentence is a very good sign! *hugs to all of you*Mojo Writinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09457472397010589516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-34379737690793785642011-08-06T12:25:50.655-04:002011-08-06T12:25:50.655-04:00It's in his WV genes, lol!

I lived in the rural country for the first 11 years of my life and I sometimes peed outside when I was little--mostly when I'd got rather far away from the house and didn't feel like going ALL the way back, thereby interrupting my exploration. heheh! That was only at home, though.Eccentricityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07034427885711017365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-21025168959957154142011-08-05T11:33:47.066-04:002011-08-05T11:33:47.066-04:00My son is the same way, but only if he is already ...My son is the same way, but only if he is already outside, then he will gravitate to his favorite tree and baptize it. I can finally say he is pretty good at going in the toilet and has it mastered. There was a time though that he thought the perfect place to relieve himself was in the heat registers. What a lovely smell that created when the heat kicked on!<br /><br />Kathy<br />http://www.thetruckerswife.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564863484894692249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-83407729581473913602011-08-03T08:51:03.695-04:002011-08-03T08:51:03.695-04:00I wrote a post back in the beginning of this blog ...I wrote a post back in the beginning of this blog similar to this Jenn--actually a couple of them. Our older son is a bolter. We have gone through all manner of locks and have a hard-wired security system with noise/glass break detectors (thank you New York State). Plexiglass on the windows. Some doors and windows nailed shut.<br /><br />He's gotten out. There is no fear like actually losing your nonverbal child in this big world.Amy McMunn https://www.blogger.com/profile/04777029840258598019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-73358651260037005032011-08-03T06:58:46.271-04:002011-08-03T06:58:46.271-04:00When my daughter was younger (She has pdd-nos) she...When my daughter was younger (She has pdd-nos) she used to bolt out of doors. While that isn't exactly becoming one with nature...it was very frustrating. It seemed if she got upset by something an instinct would have her bolting through doors at the school, store, home, elsewhere. I had locks put on my home door and an internal bell so I knew when the door had opened. At school...she bolted in front of a moving bus or vehicle more than once. One time I had to get my driver's license renewed and she bolted when my eyes were in that machine for the eye test! Right into the parking lot in front of a moving car. She eventually out grew that phase and she's older now--we work on other things :) Wonderful post!!
