What is it about toilets that cause toddlers to want to stick their hands in them and splash like no tomorrow? While responding to an email, and thinking that my three darlings were dancing in the next room to Ernie singing the alphabet, I started to hear a splashy noise. At first I thought that it was simply the song. The CD is new, and I was not listening too carefully.
All of a sudden, with dawning clarity, the origin of the splashity, splashing became crystal clear in my mind. How could I have missed the fact that the door to the bathroom was not actually locked, and actually, there was light pouring from the door. All THREE of my cherubs were arm deep in... TOILET WATER. Let me repeat that: all THREE were ARM deep in TOILET WATER.
After a quick scrub with lots of hot water and soap. Followed by three complete clothes and diaper changes. They are now in their bedrooms waiting for me to calm down - or finish this post, which ever comes first. I have had various requests for snacks, stickers, books, even potty runs... Are they serious?
Toilet training will be the end of me. I blame every gray hair I have found on this time in my life. I guess on the plus side, at least this does not involve a $150 call to Roto Rooter...a story for another day.
