Toilet Flushing Sacrificed to Baby Sleep...


I have a confession to make, it's not the type of thing that's discussed in polite society but here goes...

In the morning when Jimmy has gone down for a sleep, I often have to use the toilet. Now, our house is not exactly huge - its a 2 bedroom villa. So our watercloset is located right next to our little man's room.

Having won the 'Battle of Babies Who MUST GO TO SLEEP!', I'm hardly desirous to awaken the little bugger with the sound of the flush. So more often than not, the toilet remains in a 'disturbed' state for a 1 to 2 hour time period.

This is not an issue if I've just popped in for a pee. But if it's a number 2, we're not sitting pretty.... I can partly alleviate the situation by spraying 'Valley of the Lillies', putting the seat down and closing the door. It's only me that faces the pong until the little guy wakes up - so the assault on my senses is short-lived - even in the heat...

But you can imagine my horror recently when we had a tradesman come in to install cable television and asked to use the facilities. I still haven't forgotten my acute embarrassment - he must have thought I was a pig!
