It's a very scary sound when you hear the toilet flush and the only people in the house are you and a two year old.
See, the problem is, if he sticks something in the toilet that is large... a toy, a soda can (it has happened), or a piece of clothing (yep, that's happened too)... it's not too much of an issue, just a bit of a mess to clean up. If he sticks something small in there... momma's chap stick, a sock, or his breakfast... it's much more flustering because I have no idea if there really was something in there and we've just lost it forever or if there really was nothing in there and he just did it to hear the toilet flush.
And forget trying to get him to tell you what he put in there because he will just smile at you and go find some other fun object to put down the toilet.
Life with a toddler... there should be a warning label.
oh I feel your pain! My kids were bad about this and my hubby would have to (because I didn't offer) go pull the items out.
ReplyDeleteThey kept clogging them with TP too. We eventually got toilets that they say you can flush golf balls down (they still clog from time to time). But it's gotten better. And we used to lock the bathroom door so the kids couldn't get in.
This too will pass. :)
