http://www.bakersfieldvoice.com/home/Blog/heatherijames/29956 Ethan's been potty trained for almost two years now but recently we've been working on him doing the, well...um...the wiping.&nbsp; I should say, however, that we were working on the wiping.&nbsp; After a few botched attempts I told Ethan we would go back to Mommy doing it and try again next month.&nbsp; But he wouldn't have any of it.&nbsp; Thus, he makes secret trips to the bathroom to hone in on his skills and only calls on me when he's tired of trying to get the job done.&nbsp; Usually, the aftermath is nothing bad at all.&nbsp; But today, oh dear Lord, today was utterly unspeakable.&nbsp; The toilet seat was....&nbsp; And in between the sheets of the roll of toilet paper....&nbsp; He told me he had stuck his finger in....&nbsp; I had to wipe down his lower back....&nbsp; Unspeakable things.&nbsp; Such unspeakable things.&nbsp; The climax of it all&nbsp;was the very poor timing of serving him a piece of chocolate frosted cake immediately prior.&nbsp; There was a certain smudge below his bottom lip.&nbsp; As we were washing his hands I asked, &quot;Is that poop or chocolate by your mouth?&quot;&nbsp; The child proceeded to stick his tongue out and lick at the smudge with both a look of necessity and hesitation until he smiled and said, &quot;Nah.&nbsp; It's just chocolate.&quot; Thank God for small miracles, thank God it was just chocolate.&nbsp; The only thing left from the debacle is trying to strategize a plan of anti-bacterial attack for that toilet seat.&nbsp; Otherwise, I'm afraid I will never use it again.&nbsp; Ethan's been potty trained for almost two years now but recently we've been working on him doing the, well...um...the wiping.&nbsp; I should say, however, that we were working on the wiping.&nbsp; After a few botched attempts I told Ethan we would go back to Mommy doing it and try again next month.&nbsp; But he wouldn't have any of it.&nbsp; Thus, he makes secret trips to the bathroom to hone in on his skills and only calls on me when he's tired of trying to get the job done.&nbsp; Usually, the aftermath is nothing bad at all.&nbsp; But today, oh dear Lord, today was utterly unspeakable.&nbsp; The toilet seat was....&nbsp; And in between the sheets of the roll of toilet paper....&nbsp; He told me he had stuck his finger in....&nbsp; I had to wipe down his lower back....&nbsp; Unspeakable things.&nbsp; Such unspeakable things.&nbsp; The climax of it all&nbsp;was the very poor timing of serving him a piece of chocolate frosted cake immediately prior.&nbsp; There was a certain smudge below his bottom lip.&nbsp; As we were washing his hands I asked, &quot;Is that poop or chocolate by your mouth?&quot;&nbsp; The child proceeded to stick his tongue out and lick at the smudge with both a look of necessity and hesitation until he smiled and said, &quot;Nah.&nbsp; It's just chocolate.&quot; Thank God for small miracles, thank God it was just chocolate.&nbsp; The only thing left from the debacle is trying to strategize a plan of anti-bacterial attack for that toilet seat.&nbsp; Otherwise, I'm afraid I will never use it again.&nbsp; en-us Fri, 11 Jul 2008 22:44:50 PDT <p>It was that bad??&nbsp; Oh, you poor thing.&nbsp; I seriously feel for you.&nbsp; hahaha (and yet, I'm also laughing!)</p> http://www.bakersfieldvoice.com/home/Blog/heatherijames/29956/#c_276698 http://www.bakersfieldvoice.com/home/Blog/heatherijames/29956/#c_276698 <p>It was that bad??&nbsp; Oh, you poor thing.&nbsp; I seriously feel for you.&nbsp; hahaha (and yet, I'm also laughing!)</p> <p style="text-align: right;"><img src="http://sp1.yt-thm-a04.yimg.com/image/25/f11/192098880+" alt="" />&nbsp;</p> <p>Ah!
