A couple times a day, Zander comes to me and tells me "mom, after I am done, you will wipe okay." So I wait, listen for the call to action and then I march myself into the bathroom and help my son wipe. At first I didn't mind this responsibility, it kind of just came with the territory, but a year later and he is still asking me to wipe.So the other day, I encouraged him to try to wipe all by himself...Well as you can see, he did. He kept wiping and wiping until "mom, the toilet won't flush." I guess that's what you get for encouraging independence. Now I think I will educate him on how much is enough. This must be a universal problem with preschoolers, because someone out there came up with the brilliant, idea for this toilet paper. Before this incident, I thought it was completely frivolous, but now I think I am seeing the light.
And yes, that is a PINK toilet! I love, love, love pink, but not a big fan of the pink commode.

Yes, I remember those days well. It seemed like we went through a case of TP every other week, now a case last four months or so.
You might try having him use four or five pieces at a time and maybe only four times. Whatever seems to work for him.
You also might want to check him out before he is finished...just to make sure. That way you will get a better idea just how much he will need.
Little boys seem to need less than little girls, but they also can be messier at times as well.
Good luck!
Love,
Dad
That is what I intend to explain in great detail with him next time. Did you check out the TP link? Cottonelle has TP that has a picture on every 5 sheets so kids will know where to tear it off! Pretty funny, but I can now see why this is needed.
Yes I did. I think the coupons that I gave you last weekend had a coupon for it in amongst them.
Umm, yeah.
We have dealt with this too. Sometimes I wonder...did I sign up for this? :-) LOL
It could be worse...
My friend Sophie's son dumped their clumping kitty litter (all of it) in to their toilet. Hmm, it was just a little bit "hard" to get out.
Shawn told us that same story when he was over yesterday. How funny. I once dumped the kitty poo from the litter box into the toilet. Big mistake. I was just being lazy. Won't do that again!
If you want a good idea for a new toilet, check out this. Like they say, "if it's nae Scottish, it's crrraaaaap".
