Prizacy or Privacy?

A few weeks ago, in a desperate attempt to start going to the bathroom BY MY SELF again, I decided it was high time to school the Dynamic Duo in some "Privacy Lessons." To my amazement, they caught on quickly and no longer bust the door down when I am using the bathroom, congregate around me trying to get me some paper tissue or ask me a million questions as to what it is exactly that I am doing. Ahhhhh, peace again. Finally! And they are almost 3 years old and it's getting to be that time now that they also learn boys and girls need privacy from each other. I can just picture that scene in my head when they start school.......

They caught on to their own "privacy" needs quickly too. They don't mind in the least telling each other to leave or telling me to leave the bathroom when they are on the pot, saying that they need "privacy" or "prizacy" as Audrey says it! And James corrected Audrey this morning saying "No, Audrey it's not prizacy, it's privacy. One day she's gonna punch him in that cute little kisser of his for always correcting her!

This was hilarious. I may be telling too much info, but one day while needing some privacy, I found myself in our very small bathroom with both of my kiddos, my husband and the dog. My hubby was trying his darndest to converse with me, but I couldn't listen because EVERYONE was in the bathroom with me!!! I told him to stop and get everyone out of the bathroom NOW! I told him it was ridiculous for me to try to take care of business with the whole family in the bathroom! It was like a bad dream. Seems like you handled your privacy issues much calmer and better!

I think I actually heard the "Happy Days are Here Again" song while reading this post! :) That's such a sweet picture of them hugging! And I hope Audrey doesn't pay a bit of attention to her Bubba and continues to say "prizacy" :)

Melanie, that's hilarious!!! I would have screamed at the husband and kids and dog too!!

Kelly, I had forgotten what a little "prizacy" can do for a mama's soul :)

Like the old black and white photo of the sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square during World War II, this photo is famous. SWEETEST embrace of a brother and sister. If you MOUNTED and HUNG every photo in your blog that DESERVED the notoriety, your walls would be plastered! Love it, 'manda. And, yes, prizacy is a valuable thing.
