A Map of the World
In the interest of their dignity, I try to be circumspect about what aspects of my children's lives I write about in this blog. (Regretfully, I know from time to time I may err in judgment, even when I've worked to be conscious and conscientious.) It seems to me that bathroom matters are so personal and private that in general, they should be allowed to transpire beyond the public view. The truth is, though, that genuine hilarity happens as children learn to use the loo. For example, flushing sometimes seems to get confused with basic telephone etiquette, perhaps because both are such great mysteries to the average four-year old:
"Bye-bye poo poo. I'll miss you!"
"Bye-bye pee pee. I love you!"
"Bye-bye poo poo. I'll see you tomorrow!" (Oh, I sincerely hope not.)
Today, Max's budding interest in cartography spilled over to the bathroom. Having summoned me after a minor mishap, he made an unexpected discovery: "Look, mommy, my pee pee looks like Australia! And there's Tasmania, too!"
"Bye-bye poo poo. I'll miss you!"
"Bye-bye pee pee. I love you!"
"Bye-bye poo poo. I'll see you tomorrow!" (Oh, I sincerely hope not.)

Just stumbled on your blog and am delighted that your son knows about Tasmania. Often it gets left off maps even those produced here in Australia!
