Have you ever tried taking two toddlers into a public toilet? This morning we were at soft play which is at the local leisure centre. The ladies toilets are quite small so we opted for the disabled toilet which also doubles up as a disabled changing room for the swimming pool. Big mistake. As I rushed to get Brooke onto the seat, Taya ran around like a loon. Both had just odd socks on their feet and of course the floor was wet, so back I dashed to take Taya's socks off. No matter, she ran around and slipped over instead, landing on her bum which then became sodden from the wet floor. Meanwhile Brooke is telling me to "Close your eyes, go away, CLOSE YOUR EYES MUMMY" because privacy is obviously very important for a young lady. At this point Taya is trying to open the door, then crouching down rubbing her hands around in the puddles on the floor. Brooke gets off the toilet and asks if I'd like to see what she's done. Taya is trying to open the door again. Brooke slips over trying to get dressed. I am washing my hands, both girls are trying to open the door.
I am tempted to write to them asking to invest in some of these seats, which I can tell you now are a GODSEND.
That really made me laugh, even though it is obviously so not funny! Ah, all the things I have to look forward to...
I actually was wondering what those seats were for...
