Today, I turned my back on Evelyn for just a minute or so to go help Andrew set up some play-doh in his room. I knew she was in the bathroom, but I thought she was playing with the drawers (some of you can already tell where this is going). Anyway, I came back in to find her happily splashing away in the toilet. After, of course, pulling all the toilet paper off the roll and leaving it in a heap on the floor.
Needless to say, I scrubbed her arms and made a silent resolution to keep the bathroom door shut from now on. And to keep Evelyn out unless she's getting a bath. (Baths are one of her current favorite things. Baths and dream-bars. Maybe she thought the toilet was her own private bathtub?)
Bubby and Poppy would have been proud of Evelyn tonight. After scorning most of her dinner (aside from a few pieces of squash), she ate nearly a whole orange dream bar. And she channeled some serious Leo while doing so--she was so excited when she saw the icecream bar, that she literally started shaking . . .

yeah, i've caught walter in the toilet a couple of times now too. ick. now we try to always keep the lid down!
also, just wanted to tell you that i mentioned your blog in my last blog post, as i really enjoyed your last post!
The shaking is so much fun! We wish we could have been there to have some dream bar with her.
Huh, another kid that shakes. I had never heard of that, but Nora does it too. I can't think how to describe it very well, but does Evelyn's involve holding fists out to the side (elbows bent) when shaking? It always looks uncomfortable, but it's fun to see a kid THAT excited.
Sorry about the toilet discovery...
