Bo's first plumbing experiment

Here is a funny story that happened on Friday. Daddy had to go into work a little early so I was downstairs making lunch and getting ready to head out. Mommy and the kids were upstairs taking a shower. The kiddos like to play with the Leggos and other water toys in the morning. Then all of sudden I heard Mommy scream "Boland Joseph" very loudly. Everyone knows the full name is not a good sign. I ran upstairs to see Bo standing at the bathroom toilet with his hands up in the air saying "all gone". Apparently, he thought Emmy's PJs needed to be cleaned so he stuck them in the toilet and flushed them down. Thank goodness Emmy is so little because the jammies disappeared down the toilet.

Of course we were worried that the drain would back up or the clothes would become stuck in the pipes somewhere. Mommy called a "premium" plumbing company she knows who sent someone over to cable the drain. He did not find anything so luckily we think it made it all the way to the street.

As punishment, Bo had to take all the money from his piggy bank, write a letter to the plumber, and mail him his money for fixing the problem. Since Bo has been very rebellious the past few months, we are trying to give consequences for everything. Apparently, the plumber said he didn't want Bo's money but wanted his Halloween candy instead which obviously Bo was not willing to give up. Hopefully he remembers this lesson.
But it doesn't appear to have set in yet because Mommy did some painting this weekend. Bo took the painter's tape and put it in the toiler too. His sticky tape as he calls it is one of his favorite new things to play with. He is obsessed with it so now he gets to go without it as well for awhile.
