[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 603098, member: 3907"] Susie, we do not keep vaseline in the house. What you describe is the reason. We also keep hand lotion, bubble bath, hand sanitizer and anything that smells "pretty" under lock and key. Tyrannosaur and Tyrantina have been staying dry through the night and getting up (very very) early to go to the toilet in the morning. I was getting fed up with the 5:30 am wake-up calls to "help" them, and decided to try unlocking the bathroom door for a while. That experiment lasted one week. Step, we've had the poo-art, AND the poo projectiles. All over their walls, dark wood furniture!* and dark patterned area rug. And roller blinds, and yes, the ceiling. Accomplished by a little boy who may have a career in football in his future, just like dear ol' dad. husband bought a steam cleaner, so that we can deal with THAT problem immediately, rather than letting it fester. *Have you ever tried to find smeared poo on dark wood furniture? It requires a flashlight and a sensitive nose (mine). And sometimes **shudder** tactile verification is the only way to be sure that you've gotten it all. And I agree about the creativity. They are way more fun and interesting than incurious children who just sit there. Step-D is a quiet, compliant girl who sits there and waits to be told. The other children run rings around her, and she's helpless in the face of it. Thankfully, her SO is not. I have a feeling he was a bit of a difficult child in his childhood, so he's well able to deal with our monsters. In fact, babysitting the twins has not yet scared him off the idea of having children of his own. That's a good sign, no? [/QUOTE]
