You see the problem we have here is toilet paper. Ty seems to need roughly a roll and a half. Per wipe. So what happens when you try to flush a large amount of toilet paper down that fairly small hole in the toilet? Well, it clogs. And what happens when your 3 year-old clogs the toilet? Well, he just stands there in amazement as water pours off the edges of the toilet. Until Mom gets curious when she hears a very quiet Ty and what she thinks is the sound of running water. If only he was simply washing his hands in the aforementioned running water. I promptly rushed in to plunge the living daylights out of the toilet to get the water going in the RIGHT direction. Down! Down to the sewer with you!
Insert problem #2. Whoever built this lovely home of ours made a very serious mistake. Very. Serious. I don't know if I can even type it. It just hurts to say it out loud.
They put a heater vent right next to the toilet.
Oh I'm cringing! The audacity!
A heater vent
next to
the toilet!
Seriously? Who would do such a thing? So now you can imagine where the water went. Lots and lots of water. Here is what I sucked out of the heater vent alone. Please don't barf.
And let's not forget the towels. I lost count at 8.
So what do you do when Mom cleans up your flood? Well, you unroll toilet paper throughout the house:
Oh Ty. Thanks buddy. Thanks for that completely unanticipated cleaning opportunity. Good thing you're so darn cute. It redeemed you.

Oh I'm laughing so hard right now! I have totally been there--unfortunately. You just have a positive and hilarious way of dealing with it. I need to do better in that department.
Okay, I love that you comes out in your blog so well. I think I threw up a little for you in the toilet vent adventure. You are an awesome MOM! Way to go Britt
