Clogged Toilet


Brian and I have been working on getting Connor to be able to wipe himself after he goes to the bathroom for a little while now.  If he is at school he does it himself but at home he insists that we do it.  Well now that he is 5 he needs to do it.  Also, the fact that Connor has a ritual of getting up every morning at 5:30 to poop which means I have to get up to wipe him.  And I am over it!!  So I have put wet wipes in all the bathrooms and we have had long conversations and demonstrations about this.  So I let him try all by himself and then I was to come in and just double check.   I am walking in he has already flushed the toilet and still sitting there and I start to hear water running and he is yelling that his butt is wet.  Yep, clogged the toilet.  So I get him off and grab towels and shut off the water and then look down.  There has to be at least 20 wet wipes and a clump of toilet paper sitting down in the toilet.  So maybe I didn’t explain the use on a few pieces to him.  We will keep trying. 

PS-  Of course these are always nights that Brian is working.
