Si Guy and the bathroom.

Si Guy's current fascination is with a pink, hello kitty electric toothbrush. He carries it everywhere. He uses it to clean doorways, brush his hair, give himself an electric brush back massage, occasionally he rubs certain parts with it on that makes me grateful he's a boy.

Really , he loves everything bathroom. Flushing toilets, running water in and over the sink, diving in the bathtub, dumping shampoo, all that is the in thing. Playing in the tub w/ empty plastic bottles and a rubber duck is sheer heaven.

One would think, with such an interest in the supplies for self cleaning, he would like to be clean. Alas, no. He is still a boy. Approach him with a bucket and a shampoo brush and he heads for the hills. Actually succeed in giving him a bath? Hey, there's chocolate syrup in the fridge and markers in the art cabinet. This cleanliness thing can be fixed.

At least he's gotten to the point where he doesn't like bodily function products as fashion anymore. He'll tell us when he needs a pull up changed, or take it off himself. He likes having his nose wiped when it's running like the Falls. So that's progress I guess. Nobody goes to college with chocolate syrup face painting. I think we'll be okay.
