How do you explain a cup of pee in your garbage?

We made a miraculous discovery the other day. Liquids come out of body parts. Mind blowing I know.

It never dawned on me how exciting it would be for Owen when he discovered it. I guess he always feels stuff happening but maybe never realised what exactly was going on there.

So how did we figure this out? Oh the fun.

Owen had been soaking diapers in a few hours, for a few weeks and the Dr. recommended we take a urine sample. So she asked if if we thought we could collect a sample in a little cup. Perhaps running the water in a bath tub. Now I had made that mistake before. I had Owen by the tub, in the buff, getting his bath ready and it quickly resulted in a puddle on the bathroom floor. So I assured the Dr. collecting a specimen wouldn't be a problem.

So with cup and naked baby in hand, I ventured off to the tub. I popped Owen in the tub and ran the water. It didn't take long before things "took affect". But I guess Owen had never actually seen it happen. He sucked his belly in to get a good look, which results in the "collection" stopping. So I would cheer him on to pee some more. But every time he would start up again, he would stop to see it happen. Once it was all said and done, he had a huge smile and a new respect for that thing down there! Of course now he stares at it waiting for something more to happen. Thank god he has limited skills in that area.

In the end, I forgot the cup in the fridge and the sample was no good anymore. Nothing like coming home at the end of the day to a good cold cup of pee.
