Always Put the Seat Down

(Jenn)
I've been trying to teach Henry a little potty etiquette. Just ask him, and he'll recite this rule: "Always remember to put the seat down, and always flush it." As the only girl in a house of almost 3 boys, these rules are both pretty important to me!

He got the flushing part down immediately. Putting the seat down has been a little more challenging (only because we don't want our toilet seat shattering anytime soon). So the past few weeks, we've been working on putting the seat down SOFTLY. Henry got pretty frustrated with this request at first, until he finally came up with a fairly good solution. You have to watch this clip to see how resourceful he is! I love this kid.

Next step: "Always wash your hands!" (still working on that one)

Henry is such a cute little guy. Carter is fine putting the toilet seat down, but I can hear it in any part of the house when he does. For some reason the washing of the hands isn't that important to him. It must be the age.
