3 Year Olds + Potty = Plumber

I am not sure why my children are obsessed with toilets.  They are truly infatuated with them!  And while I am thrilled that they know how to use them for the bathroom purposes intended, I only wish they understand the potty concept a bit more! 

Monday night, Bubba and I noticed the potty in their bathroom wasn’t exactly working properly.  Knowing that Wylie has a slight fascination  with baby wipes….she was our first culprit! 

With questioning and threatening of Santa Clause and his elves, we quickly learned she had filled the potty up with almost an entire pack of baby wipes before flushing!  While we were not thrilled, we thought, at least we know the problem!

Tuesday rolls around and Bubba has an all out war with the potty.  He borrows a plumber snake, buys a new plunger but with all his might and force, he was unable to dislodge what we believed to be the strongest wipes in America. 

As we headed to bed, we both knew a plumber would be visiting the Bailey Bunch soon!

Luckily today, some very sweet man, arrives to fix the potty Wylie broke.  We hear him upstairs, water gushing onto the floor.  We hear tubing being forced down the pipes as we attempted to enjoy our delicious supper.  We hear the potty flushing but then more plunging.  It didn’t sound good, especially when he informed Bubba he may be removing the potty. 

So as we sat at the table,  talking about the man upstairs, a small little voice and his admission is heard!

C:  “ I put Mater in the potty for a bath”  (giggle giggle) 

Me:  “You what?”

C:  “I put Mater in the potty for a bath and now the potty is broken.”

And with this admission, I should have been upset.  I should have gone into full out how could you mode….BUT-  what would you do if this face was looking at you, giggling and smiling?! 

So… in the end, we came out $90 poorer and minus 1 Mater Car matchbox car!

Mater

 

Little Boys… that’s about all I can say on that one!
