Some privacy, please?

Yesterday was a lazy day. We didn’t get dressed, we didn’t do much of anything. Such days are few and far between in our house. So we enjoy them when we can.

I apologize if this may be TMI, but this blog is about the odd happenings in my family, so deal with it.

After a huge omelet for ‘brunch’ my belly was feeling a little off. Taking the advice I always give Gavin when he complains of such (and because you all know what can happen during pregnancy) I headed upstairs to the private seclusion that is supposed to be my bathroom.

Less than 2 minutes later I hear footsteps up the stairs, followed by “Mom?”

Me: (sighing) “yes?”

Gavin: “What are you doing?”

Thump…..a little body landing in a seated position right beside the door….

Me: “Going to the bathroom”

Gavin: “No you’re not, you’re reading a magazine” …followed by… “Are you reading a magazine because its taking too long?”

Me: “something like that”

Gavin: “I hear you texting”

Me, in a text to Brady: your son will not let me potty in peace.

Brady: Is he upstairs?

Me: He is camped right outside the bathroom door. Listening to every move.

Brady: Wow. He needs a new hobby.

Me: He has a hobby…following me.

Brady: He needs a NEW hobby.

(several minutes pass)

Me: “Gavin? Are you still there?”

Gavin: “yes”

Me: “what are you doing?”

Gavin: “Waiting for you”

Sigh. One of these days I will miss him following me. Right now I would just like some privacy.
