J. seems to be in discovery mode. In the kids' bathroom we have those soft, stuffed vinyl toilet seats and lids.

The other day as 3-year-old J. was lowering the lid after doing his thing, it gently brushed up against his ... er ... you know... and he started giggling and saying, "It tickles" and lowering the lid up and down, up and down...

And so it begins.

I guess I should be grateful he puts the lid down at all, but then, being the sole male in a house full of females, he must intuitively know failure to do so could be life threatening.

That's a very touchy subject. If I don't keep a diaper on my kid he's always tugg'n on his, but I think its more of a "hey, what the heck is that thing". I'm not looking forward to his teenage years when I always have to make sure to knock on the door before entering a room. Enjoy the lid down training. I was raised with my mother and sister so I always had to keep the lid down. Needless to say that is not one of my wife's pet-peeves as this is a lid-down always household. Although, a couple of weeks ago, for whatever reason, I forgot to put the lid down at night. Sometime around 2 am I was awoken by a shouted "Noah!" as my wife had splashdown. I haven't forgotten again since then.
