A Day in the life of a toddler

I have made a couple of signs to pin on the toilet door.  Because yes we are at THAT stage of every toddler's development when the lure of the toilet bowl is just too great.
Yesterday I poked my head round the door to the toilet and noticed a toilet brush, a full roll of toilet paper and the toilet paper holder were all shoved expertly down the toilet hole. Now it takes an expert toddler to manage this feat.  Most of us mere mortals would only be able to fit one thing at a time down the hole in the bottom of the bowl.  But with the rugged determination that only a toddler can muster, Ellie managed three sizable items.

In addition to this she had also unrolled most of the roll of toilet paper, strewn the empty rolls both inside and outside the toilet area and deposited the toilet brush holder down the hallway where she had also emptied its contents of old toilet water onto the floor.

This all occurred while the whole family (excluding Steve, who has to go to work in order to keep us in the lifestyle we have come to expect) were lounging around inside, zonked out by the heat, in quite close proximity to where this was all happening.  Ellie obviously decided that the best way to beat the heat was for a spot of water play, and what better place than the handy toilet bowl.

So the signs have gone up, reminding everyone to close the doors and keep the rampaging toddler out.  Whether they will have any effect will remain to be seen.

Sign inside the door:

Remember the rampaging toddler

Please remember to close the door when you are finished :)

and on the outside of the door:

You know what I want to do if I get in here

So remember to keep the door closed....just sayin
