Conspiracy


So this hasn’t been the first time, and I’m pretty sure that it won’t be the last…but I think the little girls have developed a pact. Jane is at the age where if she isn’t endangering her life in some way, she’s just a whiney little stinker pants (case in point: this morning I caught her in the shower just as she was taking the plastic guard off my razor and putting it in her mouth—you know, those kinds of things). Another BIG problem is that she runs for the toilet any chance she gets. Therefore, we have a rule in our house that you have to flush (I know, we're callous and unfeeling), close the lid, and—for extra measure—close the bathroom door. However, Alice and Canyon aren’t always the best with this…so I spend every waking moment checking on the status of the toilet.

I think the girls got together and worked a deal around these insipid “rules.” Now, I must, for all your sakes insert a bodily-function-revolting-warning for those with the faint of heart (yes, Dad, this means you). Alice decided to poo on the carpet…just skip the middle man altogether (the middle man being the toilet). Don’t worry, I didn’t let Jane near it. You see where this is going though…we’re going to have to have 24 hour surveillance. However, I think that if Jane actually got a hold of it…she’d probably think twice about putting it in her mouth…at least, I hope so. I don’t know, I think these girls are doing me in.

p.s. THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE, so advice would be helpful.

Maybe it's not a matter of pooing on a toilet but which toilet. Shayne seems to only be able to... at work. Maybe there is a certain toilet out there for Alice. You just have to find it.

Twins are so cute.

Put all the girls in the jeep and go for a ride. Maybe ice cream or just looking at the mustard blooming on the impossible green hills. You need to get out of the house.

Either buy a lot of pull-ups or send Alice to Mongolia.

my whole point of this blog was to get a comment from Shayne. thanks Shayne, real helpful...I figured you would have some more helpful poo advice--I mean, that's pretty much what your blog is about.
