I can tell we're going to have a very. long. day.
I was able to retrieve a battery, two pennies and a nickle - I am not exactly sure what else is down there. I've stuck my hand down, halfway to my elbow, a snake thingie with a claw on the end (yes, I bought this nifty tool after I got tired of fishing for marbles in the VCR), and plunged, a lot! I called my dad asking for suggestions, but I don't really want to take the toilet off the floor by myself, so we'll wait till Ryan gets home from work. Good thing we're not potty training for a few more weeks! For the record, I really, really, really love my son. I suppose we're going to laugh about this one, too! Friday he flushed a slinky, but I was able to grab one end and pull it out. Saturday morning, before breakfast, he stuffed (and I mean stuffed) his blanket into the toilet bowl and flushed...it just soaked up the water, thankfully. You're probably thinking by now, "Why don't these brain-less parents shut their bathroom door?"We DO! That's the thing! For the split second the door is open or I'm in there blow-drying my hair, he grabs and flushes. It's natural I suppose. Grab and flush. It's that easy. Well fixing this mess is going to hopefully be that easy!

Oh my goodness!! That is hilarious!! Im sorry i have to laugh!! So i came back yo your blog to tell you that Jackie Jones has a whole bunch of gluten-free stuff on her blog so you should check it out!! Good luck with the toilet!!!:)
Oh man, that is so funny, of course probably not to you! Good thing little boys are so small and innocent! Carson has done things sometimes where I am like,"what on earth possessed you to do that!" The joys of motherhood!
Wow! He has flushed a bunch of things! I was just telling Russ the other day how glad I was that Lily skipped this stage. So sorry that Tanner didn't :( What sneaky little fellow he is to get in there even though you close the door. Can't you get the toilet to flush after plunging it? Hope you don't have to call a plumber. They are expensive, I know I used to work for one!
He flushed the stuff once, and the toilet overflowed a few gallons - I went through four soaked, full-sized towels to mop it up. I don't dare flush it!!!
It's not that he gets the door open, becuase sometimes it happens while we're in there - brushing our teeth, or blowdrying my hair or putting my makeup on - it literally just takes him two seconds. Count to two, the say flush. That's just about how it goes!!!
I am certainly laughing about it now. I happened to be on the phone an hour or so later and he took off he pants, diaper, and peed by his bed - so we rushed to the bathroom to sit on the toilet (we're kindof starting potty training) and I remembered that the toilet is blocked - probably with a block! ARRGH! I mean Ha Ha HA!
:)
Thanks Sherydon for the info. i'll check into it!
LOL!!! So hilarious. Not to clean up though, that's just frustrating. But it makes for GREAT blog material. And I can TOTALLY sympathize or empathize which ever one it is. You know us and toilets.....
Keep up the postivite comments to him. And just remember, he's acting up for mom's love 'n attention. ;) Good luck!
