Life as I know it...

Life as I know it has ended. That's right a great tragedy occurred in the my house today.
Tirza figured out how to get the bathroom door open, all by herself.
Let me explain... ever since Tirza realized that there was a room in the house she was not allowed in, she became obsessed. She has a little radar that alerts her whenever, wherever a bathroom door is left ajar. Toilet water, open garbage cans, and toilet paper are all just way more than she can resist.
So you can understand my dismay when I heard little Tirza in the bathroom, not once but three times in a row this afternoon.
I went through all the stages-
Denial -No way did she open that door herself, she is just to small.
Anger -Who left the bathroom door open.
Bargaining -Tirza the bathroom is dangerous, please do not go in there.
Depression -Why, why now? I can never relax again until she is potty trained, and
Acceptance -Okay so how do we keep her out, without slowing the big girls down in their mad dash to the potty?

Any suggestions?

Not that sweet, precious, innocent smile from the picture right below!!! As I read this I remember Wesley, Bria, and Isaiah all causing a bit of panic when we didn't know where they were and realized we needed to check the bathroom. (Guess there were so many of us paying attention to Sahara I don't remember that with her).

Is it the attraction of water?? All the germs?? But like you said, probably just somewhere they are NOT suppose to be. Just today I had to get Isaiah out of the bathroom twice...of course we have the exciting water hose that sprays and makes so much fun. And I'm not kidding here...I even hear it going now.

So....good luck with that. :)
