The tale of the Urinal!

This is Rylan, such a cute, handsome and intelligent little boy. He is coming closer to his 2nd birthday and we are so excited. I mean look at that adorable face. You look at him and think he must be the sweetest boy. Yes , our little Rylan is rather sweet, when he wants to be, is such a happy kid, when he wants to be, and is the most behaved child you could ever have, rarely but these are things we love about our little boy.

However recently Rylan has become somewhat mischievous, you might say he is entering those terrible 2's early or you might say he has a genuine interest in learning and understanding how things work.

Take for example this weekend. Saturday Tawny had a baby shower for our daughter whom we are having any day now. Anyways while she was enjoying her moment of fun with family I took Rylan and his cousin Drake to Chick fil A cause they have an indoor playground and since it was drizzly that day I figured somewhere to play would be a good way to get their energy out. So we had lunch and played for about an hour, both boys were beginning to act tired so we got our stuff together and were on our way out. I wanted to take Drake to the potti to make sure he tried to at least go before we got in the car since he had plenty to drink. Well this is all fine and dandy no problem doing that. I mean I have taken Rylan into the mens room before and he knows we DO NOT TOUCH any items in the bathroom. Well as I was in the process of helping Drake, Rylan took it upon himself to check the water temperature in the urinals and by check the water I mean he splashed and began to play in the urinal. 1st thing that comes to mind is shout because that will scare him enough to stop so I do that all the while holding Drake as he's using the potti. Well Rylan of course has a meltdown at that point and I am frantically trying to help Drake finish and get to Ry because now I am sickened by the idea of him playing in a Urinal water, who wouldn't be. So I scooped that kid up as quick as I could and began to wash every crevis of his hands and arms. The thought of coating him in hand sanitizer crossed my mind too but then i figured that might be too much for his poor fair skin. Anyways problem was solved and everything was fine. There was someone in the stall next to where we were but it wasn't a big deal they didn't see me and I was already on my way. Well I open the bathroom door and see half of the restaurant looking in my direction. I now figure out the reason Rylan didn't just get scared but also had the meltdown had to do with my shouting. Apparently the rest of the people at Chick fil A must have heard me as well. Needless to say i felt a fool and got the heck out of there. So when you see Rylan coming your way arms stretched out ready to hug you remember he played in the urinal.
