Shy-guy

Graham requested that his buddy, Luke join us for lunch at Applbees a couple days ago. We were meeting Ryan for lunch because he was headed out of town and likes to see the boys as much as he can before-hand. Graham was so proud to have a guest, and puffed his little chest out as he tried to act so grown up, it was adorable. "Wuke, der's my baby, Owen." and "Wuke, I have a puppy" (which he really doesn't, when I asked G where he keeps his puppy, he informed me "with Dusty" which is fine with me, I'd prefer someone else board our pet:-)

Well, at the end of our lunch, Luke had to use the restroom, and of course Graham immediately had to as well. Ryan told me afterwards the chain of events in the men's room. Apparently Luke can use the urinal, which is brand new to Graham who is more of a beginner to the finer nuances of potty-training. He still using pull-ups and has yet to do #2 in the toilet.

But, when Graham saw Luke STANDING. He was totally determined to doing the same. Ryan helped him get in position. Then . . . nothing. They waited some more . . . nothing. I don't understand this phenomenon of being unable to go on command, as I'm pretty sure that if ever put to the test, I could stop and start at my leisure regardless of who's watching. But Ryan could empathize with little G. So, he made the decision that Graham would have to do business while sitting in the stall. Little did Ryan know that Graham would INSIST on stripping down (he has to be nearly nude to use the toilet-no shoes, no pants, no underwear)

But atlast . . . success. But before Ryan knew what had happened. Graham had jumped off the toilet exclaiming "it's working!" and runs over to the urinal to finish up!
