Toilets are much, much more fascinating to toddlers than you might have ever imagined.
I picked up Rebecca and Abby from daycare today. While I was grabbing assorted crayon drawings, mild injury reports, and winter clothing from their cubicles, they ran down to the end of the hall to the bathroom. This was okay since the hall is enclosed and there was no way they could get anywhere.
The spent the time in the bathroom flushing the toilet and giggling.
*flush*
*giggle*
*flush*
*giggle*
*flush-flush-flush*
*prolonged giggling*
Bearing in mind the alternative, I can't really complain. I've recently had to stop Abby from deliberately sliding headfirst down the stairs. Like toilet flushing, sliding headfirst down the stairs is entertainment only a toddler can truly appreciate.
I really, really look forward to the point where she stops appreciating it.
