Careful What You Wish For

A few months ago Hunter refused to even try a "standing pee", but that has all changed since Doyl introduced him to peeing in the backyard. At first I was definitely a little hesitant about allowing this behavior, but decided that if it encouraged him to master the standing pee, then I wouldn't worry about it. Hunter loves to pee in the backyard so much that he will drop his pants multiple times in an hour to pee on the flowers. He even runs to the back door in the morning and asks if he can go outside to pee. I had to draw the line somewhere. Unfortunately, Hunter's new skill is carrying over to areas where it is not OK. Today he peed in a toy bin and then dumped it on the train table in his room. The cute and funny behavior in the backyard is now just gross and a pain to clean up. Hunter lost his 30 minute TV privilege this afternoon after the train table incident, and I am hoping and praying the consequence was strong enough to curb the unwanted stand up pees.
