I have spoken before about Michael’s heroic efforts to make our home safe for toilet-loving babies. Unfortunately, there were some problems with that particular solution to our toilet-hound’s addiction. Since the new potty came, we haven’t had as much trouble, since the new potty’s water level is much lower than the old one, making it a far less convenient place to bathe.
However, Sim will still make a beeline for the potty to check it out and see if the water level is higher today. Also, there’s a stool in the bathroom so that the girls can reach the sink to wash their hands after they go potty. Sim has discovered that he can climb stools. He’s also discovered that the bathroom stool gives him access to things like the sink, the toothbrushes, and the liquid soap – all very desirable for a 15-month-old explorer.
SO…Michael fixed the door again so that it shuts. This involved eBay – for the parts for the knob to actually speak to the rest of the closing mechanism (without mistakenly locking us in, of course) – and moving of the strike plate so that the new door parts (which were off by about 1/4 inch) could actually keep the door closed.
It’s working again! Yea! And now we can close the door so that Sim won’t be playing with any of the fun toys in the bathroom.
