Batman at REI

Here's a little Fischer story.  I told myself that I needed to write these down because this kid is one of a kind and I want to remember these little dittys!

So I took him to REI yesterday to do a little shopping and I bribed him with a Robek's smoothy.  I needed some new warm socks because my feet froze last time we went fishing and I figure after this past weekend, we'll be in the boat a lot.  So there was a great sale on kids stuff.  So I thought I would stock up on some new fleece for the boys. 

Oh forgot to mention that Fischer was dressed in him Batman PJs (outfit) and he would only reply to the name Batman...so I was talking with him and I turned around, literally about 30 seconds and he was gone.  I called for him, Batman!, Batman! but not reply.  I asked the sales gal, "Have you seen Batman?"  She was not perplexed and said, "well he was just here..." so off I go searching for him over in the tents and the rock.  No Batman.  I sort of freak out for a second.  Then this young gal comes up and says, "He was outside."  Outside!  Okay - so I head that way.  I can see him running towards me at this point.  Doing all these Batman moves.  I ask him, "Yo Dude, where have you been?"  He replies, "Mom, I had to go pee!"  Oh, I am sort of shaken for a moment, "Where did you go pee?"  I ask.  His reply, "Outside...." with this sort of duh...like where else would you go in a camping store sort of tone.  The shoppers around me totally bust up laughing and I couldn't help but smile.  "Okay, I say -- but next time, let me know and we'll use the bathroom."  

BTW -- we are now officially Diaper free in our house....day and night.  It rocks to be able to walk past the baby section of Target and Costco and not have to pick up a thing!!!
