today i want to share with you something truly life-changing.
something that came into my life last week and has almost ah, completed me.
you see for the past two and a half years i’ve been washing down removable potty seats after every single pee and poo my children have excreted. yep, i just wrote the word excreted.
and yes, this life-changing event is centered around a potty. bear with me. (snort) no pun intended.
our first one was on clearance at tjmaxx for like $4. obviously J thought it was way cool. and yes, it helped him conquer the whole it’s-not-ok-to-poop-in-ya-draws thing. great. but the stream of his pee went directly in between the top and bottom portion of the seat resulting in continuous, non-stop leaky pee syndrom. otherwise known as mom throws the potty seat into the tub and scrubs it all.damn.day.long.
when H decided she, too, was ready to lose the poo in her draws i purchased yet another one.
( i know they look exactly the same but somehow they weren’t. i swear.)
and although this one didn’t need a tubbie after each use it did need a wipe down. which might seem insignificant to most but after an average of 5-10 times per day for over 600 days…yeah. significant.
i’m about to get a litlte emotional with you.
ready?
this is our toilet. (i tried to make it look all ethereal, can you tell?)
it is used for many things as you can imagine. even matching games.
and this, my friends, is the inside of our toilet.
notice anything different about the lid?
uh huh. you got it.
a built in little-tush seat.
do you people know how much extra time i have these days? incredible.
yes, i understand it’s not going to win any aesthetic awards. trust me, not much of the nitty gritty of parenting is either.
can i get a H A L L E L U J A H up in here!
that is all.
if you are soaking or wiping a potty seat more than twice per day get off your duff and buy this.
oh and just to wet your pallet even more, the toddler seat is magnetic. so your kiddo just has to shut the (no slam!) lid down and voila…tiny seat re-stuck to big-bum seat. genius.
and yes, i said no slam.
g’day friends!
