PSA for parents of toddlers..

If they are tall enough to reach the door handle and get it open they MIGHT just open up the door, call "bye bye" and attempt to race into the hallway at the pediatricians office. While you are "going potty". With your pants around your ankles. Which renders you immobile at the current moment. In a bathroom that opens right up into said hallway. With the kids' pediatrician right outside the door. Just hope that a kind nurse is also standing near the door and will say, "I'll just close this for you".

 

Parents of toddlers beware.

 

This 2 year old might be the death of me.

Why is it that at home they are always trying to get in the bathroom while you are using it, and in public they are always trying to get out?

 

:lol: Because at home, it's just the same old boring house, and it's no fun without MOM! And in public, well, there's just so much more to see and do and touch and break...and it's no fun when there's MOM!

Ha! I tried to make them count wall or floor tiles to keep them distracted from opening the door. Never worked. DS3 was always perfectly content to stay in a public bathroom with me, but he was a "stall wall licker". <insert puke face smile here>

Oh my word!!! We played Simon Says in bathroom stalls. It worked brilliantly, although I did have to explain several times that I couldn't jump up and down on one foot while I was actually sitting on the potty. After awhile, the rule was that in the bathroom, I was always Simon! Mine were not wall lickers, though my youngest was definitely a "toucher." :glare:

Not to hijack, but to commiserate, I would like to add that a toddler might decide to duck under the dressing room partition when mom is in jeans and a bra and race gleefully into the main part of the department store. This might leave mom no choice but to chase the toddler through the department store wearing nothing but her bra and jeans to the amusement of the other patrons and the delight of her toddler. Mom might be humiliated, grateful to have caught her toddler, blessedly relieved that she had not yet removed her jeans, and determined to never, ever take a toddler into a dressing room without a helper ever ever again. Not to mention questioning her sanity. What on earth was this hypothetical mother thinking??

Oh my, yes. Thank you for the giggle, and the reminder of my gratitude that mine are past this stage.

 

Another bit of fun my youngest used to have was attempting to "visit" whoever was in the next stall in a public restroom... by crawling under the divider...
