Exercising His Manhood

We live at church. I don't mean that we spend a lot of time there (which we do), but we literally live at church. We live in the church's parsonage, right next door to the sunday school building. The parsonage is a newly rennovated beautiful blessing. I love being able to walk next door to church with the boys without having to deal with carseats. Mitch can just walk over here for lunch or let Noah ride with him to make a visit without any planning. So all that to say there are definite perks to living at church!

One downfall and an explanation of this post's title. When Noah is out playing in the yard during the week, it is not terribly unusual for him to drop his pants and pee in the yard. Mitch assured me early on this is no big deal and that Noah should be allowed to "exercise his manhood". Now I really didn't have much of a problem with this when he was 2-3 years old and church was not "in session". Newly potty trained, trouble pulling pants up and down, lazy mother, etc.

HOWEVER, I knew it would happen sooner or later and it did last Wednesday night. Noah was playing on the playground with another little boy at church and before I could stop him (you know where this is going), he dropped his pants and peed in the front yard of the church on the playground! Oh my! Fortunately it was under the cover of darkness and there were only a couple moms close by and no little girls.

It's definitely time for more training in modesty!
