Budding Masculinity

From standing up on our couch, Colson, standing straight and proud, said this: "I'm going to jump down and hurt myself. That's what I'm going to do."

Me: "Oh no! You want to hurt yourself?

Colson: "Yes, I do mommy."

He didn't hurt himself thankfully, he is under the care of a mama afterall, but signs of reckless and silly ideas of jumping off of heights and hurting oneself is a good sign, I think.

I was holding him in the bathroom the other night after we brushed his teeth when he said:
"Don't drop me in the potty mommy. Then I would be lost from you."

I think every child dreams of getting lost in the potty.
