Lizzy has been showing a LOT of interest in the toilet lately. We've been trying to see if she'll use it (in a conventional sense) but so far, no luck. I think she's still a little young for the potty training. No, her interest isn't nearly a convenient as that, it's a lot more... unsettling. From my posts about the 'rubber ducky incident,' you are probably already aware that she likes to unroll the toilet paper into the toilet as well as throw random things into it. Here are a few other ways I've caught her using the toilet
- dunking her toothbrush in the water to brush her teeth.
- digging a used Dixie cup out of the trash (or really any vessel at all) and dipping it in the water to get a drink
- splashing the water on her face because she's trying to wash it
- general good times playing in the water
You might be asking yourself "Laura, why don't you just close the bathroom door?" well, I do. All of them. Problem is that I'm not the only one who lives in the house. We also have a forgetful 4 year old that not only forgets to close the door and the toilet lid, but also forgets to flush half the time. We've been going to through a lot of soap lately.
Ya, she may look cute, but think twice before cuddling up or accepting kisses. You don't know where that mouth has been.

ha ha ha... so gross! That is the last thing you need to be cleaning up while pregnant!
Oh, my!! No wonder those diapers are such a mess. The more people you have the harder it is to regulate the bathrooms.
Oh dear! We need to get Jacob and Lizzy together and see what else they can come up with in the bathroom.
Sounds like you might want to invest in some child gates for all your bathroom doors. Or maybe she is also good at climbing. Hannah went through a phase of playing in toilet water too, mostly it seemed Jason was the one to leave the door open.
Lizzy gives "potty mouth" a whole new meaning!
