I knew this would happen...

It wasn't too long ago that I wrote a post about Jamison's fascination with the toilet. My fear was that he would be playing in it, so I had a talk with the older two J's and informed them that they are to always, ALWAYS keep the bathroom door closed. Well, Jamison was up early today, in fact, too early! I needed to take a shower and wanted to do so before J and J woke up (I always like to get the day started before they wake up, or else I feel a wee bit behind). So, I brought Jamison in my room, along with some toys, and put the safety gate up, so that he couldn't come in while I was in the shower. I did notice that the door to the kids' bathroom was closed, just not all the way, and the light was on. Why I didn't take 2 seconds and close it is beyond me. As I was showering I peeked on Jamison a couple of times; upon my next peek, he was gone. I wondered where he might be...no one else was up, and it's unlike him to go crawling around a dark house, because it was still dark outside. I thought to myself, I hope he's not in the bathroom, in the toilet. I dismissed the thought, because I really didn't want to end my hot shower; and besides, he wouldn't do that.....would he? Oh yes he would! I did end my shower, because I got worried. Sure enough, I make my way to the other bathroom, and he's there. Playing in the toilet!! There was toilet water everywhere, and he was at that very moment playing with his passy, it was wet too! I'm sure he was dunking it in, I don't want to think about anything beyond that. I snatched him up and washed him off, with soap in the sink. Oh let me tell you, he was not happy; but that's okay, I wasn't happy either. I washed the carpet, it too was wet, I threw the passy away (boiling it can't even make me feel OK about giving it back to him), and changed him into clean clothes. My fear now is that since he's tasted the freedom of playing in the toilet, he will go back for more! My friend Leah calls this Murphy's Law of Mothering!
