For the most part, my kids are pretty self-sufficient when it comes to using the potty. Praise the Lord, we have two potty-trained kids and I haven't bought diapers of any sort in a good six months or more. [As a side note, it is amazing how much something like no diapers really lightens the load as a parent.]
This being the case, I was sort of confused when I heard Claire calling me from the potty yesterday. And then when she sounded pretty upset, and a lot closer, I was even more bewildered. Whatever the 'issue', she could have surely waited until I got to her.
I got up to see her,
pants around the ankles,
carrying a dripping wet ENTIRE ROLL OF TOILET PAPER!!!
Seriously?... Seriously?...
No matter how much parenting I have experienced, I will never be prepared for some things.
Let's just say we all learned a very valuable lesson: If something accidentally falls into the potty, LEAVE IT THERE, and THEN come get me.
Do I need to actually add this to the list of house rules?
1. Keep your hands to yourself.
2. Let your words be kind and uplifting.
3. If something falls in the potty, leave it there....
If this has not yet happened to you, you have now been warned.
