Bathroom habits!!!

There can be no picture for this post as you will see by reading it. So, for the longest time we've been trying to get Kylie to wipe herself when she goes #2. She does fine at #1, but #2 she just won't do it. No matter where she is, she will yell out to come wipe her butt. It doesn't matter who's house she's at. We even got her those flushable wet wipes thinking that they might make it exciting for some bizarre reason to wipe her butt, but they didn't work. Finally we just had to tell her she had to do it herself because we weren't going to help her anymore. She's really stubborn and would just sit there for the longest time until we eventually came in and wiped her down. Well lately she figured out a new plan. After she goes #2, she will come out to the living room or where ever we happen to be with her panties down to her ankles and she will turn around and bend over and spread her little cheeks apart and ask if her butt's clean. At this point in the process I've discovered that she hasn't tried wiping yet. Most of the time she has a "clean break" as Stuart likes to call it and there's nothing to wipe off. But on the off chance that she needs to do some clean up she's gets a little mad when I tell her she's not all clean. She'll even sometimes stop back into the bathroom in a huff and wipe up, saying that it's too hard the whole time. Hopefully she'll get out of this habit soon. How funny/horrible will it be if she's in school and goes to the bathroom and then wobbles back to the classroom with her panties down to at her ankles to ask her teacher if she's all clean.... what are we going to do with her.

I was laughing the entire story. Kaitlyn does the exact same thing! And it's even better when you have to explain that she can't stand in front of the window that happens to face the neighborhood with her butt cheeks mooning everyone passing by! I even had the same "genius" idea and bought those flushable wipes... didn't work for us either. She will wipe, but she makes me check every time to make sure there's no poop left! I hope she grows out of it soon. My nephew does the same thing and he's 5. Hopefully it won't last too long.
