Setbacks

it seems like there are always setbacks no matter how good things seem to be going. andrew is potty trained. he can go to the bathroom by himself. he knows when to go and he flushes the toilet when he's done, turns off the light and shuts the door. it's great. then today he plays with the toilet paper. he put almost the whole roll into the toilet. yeah, it clogged. the water overflowed and was all over the floor in the bathroom and started to come into the hall. i called the maintenance people and then called my dad. he told me how to turn off the water. then i started to clean and the guy came and snaked it. he said that by how easy it was then it was probably just toilet paper and no toys. i told him i think andrew learned his lesson the last time about toys in the potty. anyway, i just find it so weird that andrew would be so good for so long and then go and do this. i hope he realizes what he did was wrong.

Hopefully now he also knows that there is such a thing as too much toilet paper. Maybe you could teach him the 5 squares rule or something.

um...ok, so i know the whole point of the post is about the clog. but something is really bothering me... like really bothering me. i am not seeing that he washes his hands... i'm just saying. ok, i am gonna like go back and reread this and i am going to mentally insert "washes hands with plenty of soap and water"...whew! i think i'll be ok now.

btw, FFBH = Friend From Back Home. Thought I had referenced it enough in the past, that i didn't need to spell it out anymore... :P

yes, andrew does wash his hands, but not everytime.
