After having three daughters I was totally and utterly beside myself when I learned I was pregnant with a little boy. A boy. Finally. A son. For ME. Someone who I knew would love me no matter what.
Turns out, he absolutely thinks I’m the shit. Yay me!
We have our own little club, complete with its own language, plenty of smooches, and a mutual love for all things chocolate . We’re the best of buds.
What I love most about having such an open relationship with my 4 year old son is that he feels comfortable telling me when his VAGINA hurts.
Um.
Total parent fail.
I’ve explained that he has a penis–not that other thing–and most days, like when he gets to pee in the driveway using his nifty built-in water hosey type device, he loves it. Other days? He wants to be like me. Complete with vagina.
Hmm.
Last night he jumped in the bathtub with me for the 7,894th time in his young life and PEED on my arm. See? A penis is perfect for doing things like that.
It was awesome.
But the boy knows how to make me laugh. And these past few weeks, it’s exactly what I’ve needed.
To be peed on.
The pee master himself. I told him to give me his best smile.
Then I told him to act shy.
Then I told him to give me his goofiest face.
This is his Imma get you suckah face
I asked him to make the face he makes when he sees a pretty girl.
After the photo session, I finished drying him off and said, “Can I have a hug?” He then turned around, farted in my face, and ran out of the room.
Aren’t little boys the best?

he’s so cute. I used to have one of those… now, that he’s almost 15… I sleep with one eye open.
You mean it’s not always going to be like this? (passes out)
I love having boys. I have two and they are only 17 months apart. The oldest is my sidekick. He is just like me, always hyper and being mischievous. I love it!
How cute is he?!
Little boys are stuff mommy dreams are made of.
i only have 1 (a girl). she’s thinks im awesome until her dad shows up. then i’m just the lady that prepares the food.
sure pink dresses and butterflies are cute but UNCONDITONAL LOVE, only a boy can give you that!

I have on of those… only 1 year older, and 1 years-worth cheekier. Pun intended. And yes, they’re the best. Good for you! Glad he makes you laugh so much. I just wanna smack mine these days… little punk. Enjoy him!
I have three brothers. No sisters.
We used to pee on her all the time.
I’m glad that I have contributed to her happiness in this way!
Yes, peeing on Mom makes her very happy.
Aw. It’s so sweet that you have this amazing connection with your son!
Great pics!
I’m assuming that part of his boy training includes 3-punch combinations for future and possible bouts with the likes of Pacquiao?
Or, why the wildcat formation is the bomb and should be included in most offensive playbooks?
Or, what pitch should ALWAYS be thrown on a 0-3 count with two men in scoring position, especially if one of those men is the great Ellsbury?
Hahahahahahaa!!!! At least you still get the love from your little guy. Both of mine have completely thrown me over for the testosterone fuel male bonding of their father. Assholes.
P.S. Love the tile in your bathroom…
Thanks!
Yes they are, the absolute best. Mine now has his first crush and I am no longer the only woman in his life, but I am the only woman who will buy him Slurpees so I still got that going for me. Have you introduced your son yet to the ap for the iPhone called ipeepee. Brilliant – fun for moms and sons. AG
You’ll always have Slurpees!
Little boys are the best. I got me one too! From a little age they are OBSESSED with their penis.
And, hey I get it, somedays being peed on isn’t so bad. Glad it cheered you up!
snakes and snails and puppy dog tails. I have tow of em one 20 and one 7. Having a penis can be awesome and once the obsession starts it never goes away. Here is the the thing someday your little boy will be 20 before you know it. You will be cleaning his room or something and find a pair of furry pink handcuffs and it all changes suddenly. I didn’t know whether to talk to him, high five him. or just secretly steal the cuffs for myself…
What a cutie!
And to think I was first going to make a snide comment about the peeing in the driveway, then …
But have you been pooped on? That’s an unbreakable bond.
He’s too cute! Peed and Pooped on by my liitle boy! (Seemed like a frequent occurrance when I was nursing him — the biggest blowouts ever!) Yes, the Mommy/Boy bond is that strong! Nothing like body excretions and a big belly laugh to cheer us up!
Nice Shauna….very nice. I have a boy (16) three girls and another boy (8). My youngest is still my little guy. And yes, this does include farts in the face, followed by wicked giggles so cute that I can’t get mad. Why are little boy giggles like kryptonite? Seriously, when he giggles it’s so cute that I have to hold onto something to stay upright. Now the 16yr old….not so cute and neither are his farts anymore.
Just stumbled and fell onto your blog and I’m not in a hurry to get back up. Staying put and letting the laundry sit as I read post after post. Love your fun writing. I have two boys who I love and cherish and they love and cherish me right back. But, when my son was about 4 he asked where my penis was. When I told him I didn’t have one he said “poor mommy, does that make you feel sad cuz you wish you had one too?” Uh……….no.
When he gets older and doesn’t want to hang out with you, I’ll come pee on your arm.
I love that about you.
Funny! Back in the 3s, Liam ended his night time prayers with, “And please God, help Mommy to grow a penis so she can be like me.”
Hmmm….I guess I should just be glad he wasn’t asking Jesus for a va-jay-jay.
Love you!
Adorable! We have a daughter adopted from Korea and when we decided to adopt again I assumed it would be another girl. Nope. And then, just after the adoption of our baby boy we find out I’m pregnant. With a boy. I freaked out. How am I going to parent TWO boys? It’s been quite the adventure and I LOVE it!
