Dallin's Bathroom Lingo

A couple of words in Dallin's dictionary:

double cooch
\ˈdə-bəl\ \ˈküch\

noun
When Dad tells a story and bathes the boys all at the same time.
Usually saved for busy nights when we are trying to condense the bedtime routine.

Crosses

\ˈkrȯs-ez\
noun
The act of two little boys peeing into the same toilet at the same time with their streams crossing paths.


Dallin came up with the words himself, but Mark and I definitely take advantage of them. Tonight we were late with bedtime and Dallin was disappointed when Mark told him there wouldn't be any toys in the bath tonight and he needed to hurry to bed. Mark remedied, "Dallin, do you want to do a double cooch?" Dallin: "YEAH!"

Earlier today I had been trying to encourage Adam to use the restroom without forcing him. He was not interested. Later when Dallin left to go I asked Adam, "Do you want to go do crosses with Dallin?" He sped off in the direction of the bathroom. A new trick up my sleeve, good job Dallin.
