We've started to try potty training and I know my 2 year old can use her little toilet when she wants to, but recently she has decided that her windowsill works much better for her messiest business. I was down stairs finishing up some Christmas cookies and sent the Politician to help PT out of her room. Well, he came down to tell me that she was messy and needed me. And that she did. She had made it to the steps covered in poo and was carrying a piece to show me. When I told her to go in to the bathroom and get in the tub she told me to hold on while she threw her poo back in her room. How nice. After getting her in the tub, I went to access the poo situation in her room. Not only was her windowsill covered in poo, it look like she tried to finger paint, EVERYWHERE. The entire window had her creative input as did the footboard of her bed. I'm not sure when she actually pooped, but it did not wipe up easily. Eww.
So, fourty-five minutes, lots of paper towels, and many many sprays of cleaning solution later her window, floor, and footboard were clean. She got a lovely shower, which she did not enjoy, and was sent back into her room.
I don't know what it is with my kids and putting their poo on their windows, but the Politician did something similar when he was going through potty training. He tried to shove a handful of poo out the window between the window frame and the AC window unit.
I wonder what the Enforcer will have for me in a few years... maybe since he's cloth diapered, he'll teach himself and clean it all up! Well, I can dream.
