Re: Millie doesn't know where the toilet is/

[Guest guest]

Hi , thanks! LOL, I tried to change the seat cover, someone had

mentioned that too me, but Jim wouldn't lift the seat up and peed on the seat

cover, so that didn't work for him. Sheeeesh! The rug around the toilet helped

to change it for him to see the difference and find the toilet, but yeah the

seat cover solid color to off set it from the toilet was mentioned too.

PS -- I've read that's why people change toilet seat colors, etc. If

the floor is white and the toilet is white - the LO is not going to

see it. But if the seat is changed to a bright color, they will. Also

w/ the tub - if you put a colorful mat on the bottom of the tub it

doesn't look like an endless pit to them...

PS - just read what you wrote Janet... LOL same thing but a vica

versa....

> Carol, I forgot to mention, because of the lack of spatial

awareness I fogot to mention that sometimes the dark rug seems to

look like an open space to drop into and they are afraid to step in

that space. Too dark could be a problem, get a solid color that off

sets it from the toilet.

To make it interesting... you could always get a golf greens bath mat --

maybe he'll want to practice golf at the same time?

Hahahahahaha, OMG, that is so funny! I don't have the problem anymore with Jim.

I have to take him to the toilet now, but just to make life interesting, I just

might get one of those for him when he is home on the weekends. LOL
