If your stomach is easily upset, you may be better off skipping this post. With the disclaimer out of the way, I shall start.
Sam has been having problems cleaning himself properly after using the bathroom. There has been poop smeared on the toilet seat and on other surfaces. He struggles with wiping well (if at all) and rarely washes his hands. This has led to additional instruction on proper hygiene with frequent reminders. He has learned how to properly clean the toilet because I got tired of doing it. Things were getting better.
Then I walked into the bathroom and I almost lost my lunch as well as my sanity. The entire toilet, the seat, the back, the tank was covered in brown splatter. I was too traumatized to even step into the bathroom. How was this even humanly possible? What is wrong with his sphincter? Gah!! This is disgusting. I quickly dashed out of the bathroom, grabbed Sam, a rag, and a spray bottle of vinegar water. I instructed him (in a mostly not yelling voice) to go clean the toilet until it was "Mom clean".
After a few minutes I reluctantly went to check on his progress. He was giggling as he cleaned. What the heck? He looked at me with cheery eyes and announced, "I sneezed a dog cookie." Yep, the brown splatter was the result of Sam sneezing while eating a dog biscuit. It says something that I was deeply relieved to realize the mess was caused simply by my child eating dog food. Proper diet may need to be the next item that receives some additional instruction.
