I Think This Is A BIG DEAL!!!

So there I was, taking a shower when someone in my house flushed the toilet. Well, I happen to have one of those homes that was built before someone learned to put the temp control valve between the shower and the main line in the house. 
Well anyway, as I was saying, I was taking a shower when it got suddenly hot. I was getting out anyway so  really it didn't matter. I could hear Drew washing is hands in his bathroom so I yelled out to him "Drew, what you doing?" 
" Washing my hands." Drew says back.
 "Why?" I yell back to him as I am trying to get dry enough I can, without getting water all over the place, go and check on him. 
"Because I go poop and potty and mom said if I go poop and potty I need to wash my hands." Drew says very very proudly.
 I walk into Drew's bathroom to see him washing his hands. "Why didn't you call me to come wipe your bum?" 
Drew replies without even looking up from washing his hands, "You were in the shower and so I wiped my own bum and mom said when you wipe your bum you need to wash your hands. 
"You wiped your own bum?" I said to him, not really believing. I mean, well, he is almost going to be 4 and he can and does do a lot on his own and he is in school now and should be able to do this for himself, so sure why can't he wipe is own bum. 
"Yes dad, I did. You were in the shower and I didn't want to bother you so I did it myself."
To most this really wouldn't be anything to talk about, but to a parent this is Huge. So huge in fact that I had Drew call his mom at work and tell her..   HUGE DEAL IN MY HOUSE.
