Toilets Are Fun

This might make me a bad person.
Or a bad parent.
Perhaps both.

So here's what happened:
upon finishing changing Cam's clothes, I was startled to find that baby boy wasn't in the living room anymore. The moment I looked down the hall and saw the bathroom door open, I was pretty sure that I knew what to expect.
This:
Yup, there he is, playing in the toilet. Sadly, I don't think that this picture does the mountain of unrolled toilet paper on the ground justice.

So here's the part that makes me a bad person/parent:
When I saw this scene playing out before me, I stopped a moment and laughed... Then I took out my phone and started taking pictures... Then I took a few more, until I had gotten just the right picture.
But just check out how happy he looks
So seriously, aren't good people supposed to see this sort of thing and instantly put a stop to it? I just kept thinking about how great this was going to look in a slideshow at his wedding reception someday. 
Whatever, don't judge me. 
I can do that myself. 
And I judge that I am probably a bad person.
It's alright, I've come to terms with it.

Regardless, I think that it's important to be able to squeeze what humor and enjoyment you can out of these situations. Sometimes, that's just what it takes to carry you through until tomorrow. In my case, this kind of made my day. I will probably chuckle to myself every time I see this picture for the rest of my life. Of course, it might not seem so funny when he gets conjunctivitis or E Coli or whatever, but I'm sticking to my guns on this one. Worth it.

  1. One of kostons favorite "naughty" things to do. Drives me bonkers! But he always has this cheesy smile and laugh swirling faster and faster the closer I get to him. Ugh little turd.
    That baby boy sure is cute!

  2. I really do have to applaud your use of the word "turd." Nicely done, Cassie. Nicely done.
